"You look at me and babe, I wanna catch on fire
You found the light in me that I couldn’t find
So when I'm all choked up and I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye, baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way"
4 September 2021, we had our Magical special day, I walked down the isle on 'Always Remember us this way" by Lady Gaga. Our day was Filled with love, beautiful memories & close family. The Color scheme for the wedding was Black, Rose Gold & a dash of Burgundy & we asked all the guests to wear black (and it looked beautiful walking down the isle, everyone in black!). We got married on our Farm in Swellendam in the Farm Storage Shed (the same shed we got engaged in!). That Saturday 4th of September we had the most perfect day for a wedding, no wind and sunny weather.. This wedding was Elegant, Stylish & Stunning with beautiful décor, great music & a live surprise performance by Elandre. The most special day & by far my favorite memory! Marrying the love of your life is truly special & having the day you dreamt about was something I would always cherish.
