I just love when I get to feature weddings that combine the talents of wedding pros who I have come to know and admire through my years as a blogger - it always gives me such pleasure to see brides put themselves in their hands and come out with beautiful results! Today's wedding features three of my favourite names - Rensche Mari, one of our most talented photographers; Netherwood, an absolutely gorgeous venue that I have visited in person; and the very lovely Ché of indieberries and indielovebooks. So needless to say, Leanie and Theuns have excellent taste! As always, my favourite part is the details that tell their story, and their travel theme does just that - be sure to read all about Theuns' totally original mile high proposal!

Wedding Details
I am very detail-oriented and everything was planned to the finest detail, from the music playlist to the groomsmen's socks ;) Our wedding invitation told the story of how we met, how we got engaged, how many miles we flew back and forth to see each other and it also included a cartoon of the Netherwood wedding chapel and our whole bridal party. We even found airplane paper clips which we used to bind the invitations together. For the seating chart we used a large world map and Ché designed 12 airplanes with each guest's name written in an airplane window.
Since we were going to live in Qatar after the wedding, we brought over a few Middle Eastern goodies in the form of "Lemon Minties" (a popular Middle Eastern thirst quencher which was served to our guests as a pallet cleanser), mini Coke bottles with Arabic writing on them as gift favours (with each trip from Qatar to South Africa, Theuns and I 'smuggled' these Coke bottles into the country and yes, some of the bottles broke in my luggage during one trip!) and stacks of chocolates in gold wrapping and square marshmallows found at the airport.
As for the drumming circle - we love to entertain and to be entertained. This idea was a winner as it was a complete surprise and got everyone into a party mood. Thank you Drum Café!
