Today's couple had one of those proposals that could have come straight out of a Hollywood movie, and one of those weddings that would be quite at home on the pages of a glossy magazine - I just LOVE the sparkle and the glitter mixed with soft pastel blush and some absolutely gorgeous soft florals from Sitting Pretty. In fact (and I swear I didn't plan it this way) this wedding is kind of the perfect transition between our August and September 'themes', since it's both glamorous and full of beautiful spring pastels! Hooray! I can't not mention the bride's absolutely amazing lace dress, which combined perfectly with her groom's navy suit - don't they just make the most stylish pair? Linda Fourie was on the scene to capture these lovely pictures of every smile and detail.

The Proposal Wedding Details Memorable Moment The Honeymoon
As mentioned earlier, I am the one stuck in travel mode, so I planned our Honeymoon. We went to Mauritius for a week, and then to Victoria Falls to end off our time. We had a blessed honeymoon, with upgrades and inclusions that made our time away so special, thanks to Solana Beach Resort, and the Royal Livingstone Hotel.
I had talked between the lines with my décor planner, and we didn't really have a real mock-up, so I wasn't 100% sure what our day was going to look like. When I walked in and saw everything I was overwhelmed and couldn't help crying, it was just beyond perfect and more than I imagined it to be. She did such a wonderful job! I think seeing each other as I walked down the aisle was also a great moment as you feel "this is really happening."
I think our wedding day represented me more than it did us as a couple, but like many guys would say, "ag, I don't care, whatever you like" - our day was still planned for the both of us. We wanted it to be intimate and more than just a party, we wanted it to be about the covenant that was created and sharing that with our friends and family. We had my brother as our Master of Ceremonies - he knows us best as for nine years he has been our tail! We had my cousin and his wife lead us in worship to a beautiful song that we wanted to create the start to our marriage (Holy Spirit by Jesus Culture), and we had personalised messages to our guests in our program to let them know how much each of them meant to us.
I live in wanderlust - am addicted to travelling, obsessed with flying and love airports. I also dream about living in Paris! It was October in the green Kalahari, and I wasn't expecting much as I was honestly waiting for it to happen in December. Mr. Groom had told me to have myself ready for a lovely date night. On our way to "somewhere" I figured we were heading for the airport- it's Upington, and there's only the Army Camp and the airport en route! Once there our friend and his dad were waiting for us, taking us on a scenic flight over Upington in their Giros. Kobus landed first, and upon my landing on the longest landing strip in the southern hemisphere, a table for two was set up. AfriFraans was playing, Moet & Chandon was on ice and a love letter was awaiting me. After some awkward chit chat (as Gavin, Uncle Eben & Tommy - the airport fire fighter - were not that far away, umm - safety first I guess!) Kobus told me that I could read the letter. It was beautiful (he doesn't like writing and isn't good with words, but he melts my heart every time he tries). The sun was setting and then... I had to stand up, face the strip and close my eyes. A few second later I could open it. The landing strip's lights were turned on. Magical. Majestic. Kobus then went down on his one knee and asked me to be his wife. I said yes, of course!
