How did you meet: We met at Williams’ parents’ house. They were having a birthday party for his nephew and I was best friends with his nephews’ mom. It was love at first sight!

The proposal:  William took me out for dinner at the Fat Olive restaurant in Muldersdrift. We had a romantic dinner and after dessert he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.

What theme or atmosphere did you create on your Big Day: A glamorous, Elegant, fun day filled with love and happiness

What was unique about your wedding? It was my first time so everything was unique for me J We had a photo booth and a big floor decal on our dance floor that said MR and MRS DU PREEZ

Describe your Table Décor/flowers or Gifts to guests: Black and White damask with yellow roses. Candelabras with rose balls on the top, crystals hanging from them. We gave our guests fudge and nougat (engraved with thank you for sharing our special day with us) and black champaign glasses with our names and date engraved on them.

Describe your Wedding Dress: BEAUTIFUL!! I couldn’t have asked for a more stunning dress. It was the dress of my dreams.

Describe your Wedding Cake: Mini Mozart cakes on a stunning cake stand surrounded by yellow roses

The Best thing about being a Bride: A day all about you (and of course your groom) Being able to dress up like a princess and marry the guy of your dreams

The Best thing about being a Groom: Waiting at the end of the aisle for my bride. Having the day to celebrate all our dreams.

Highlights/Special/Funny incidents of the day: The minister dropped or rings (Is this bad luck – ha ha) Waiting for the chapel doors to open, I am sure everyone could hear my heart beat for outside the chapel as I was waiting to walk down the aisle. The best mans speech was so funny and the groom took my breath away with his speech

What have you learned from this experience:  That if there is anything you want to do in your life – do it! Live for the day.

Any advice you would like to give other bridal couples? Don’t blink on the day, it goes by so quickly and you don’t want to miss a thing. Don’t stress, if there are any flops no one would know the difference. You only get one big day so make the most of it.
