How did you meet:
How we met...... we met in 2005 at a braai at Hannah’s house when I went to pick my sister up, i can safely say that she was the most beautiful girl there and it was also clear to spot that she couldn’t resist me either (I stand to be corrected on that one). We didn’t contact each other for awhile until my sister had a birthday party at our house then the heat was on, I made my move. Ever since then we’ve been together for 5 years, after 2 years of going out we knew this thing was bigger than what we initially thought, and we found ourselves making plans about the future even though we were both at college. We knew that we want to spend the rest of our lives together
The proposal:
The Proposal....after many happy years together Alfred planned to give her a surprise fit for a fairytale. It was a hot summer’s day on the 14th of February Valentine’s Day that He decided to propose to his queen. He booked a day at a horse ranch in Hekpoort, went on a horse ride to the foothills of the mountains there where a picnic basket was waiting for the two of them, after partaking of the finger foods and glass of champagne, Alfred whispered sweet nothings in Hannah’s ears (so we hear), he then got down on one knee and made a promise of a lifetime to marry the most beautiful woman in country and proposed. Lucky for him she said “yes! Yes! Yes! I will marry you” can you imagine had she said no! Eish driving all that way lol
What theme or atmosphere did you create on your Big Day: Classy, romance, elegance and fantasy, just an overall warm feel
What was unique about your wedding? It was personalized, it had our personal touch. We were involved from the beginning to the last detail and it was so much fun. It was just the way we wanted and planned it
Describe your Table Décor/flowers or Gifts to guests: Table deco was elegant, we had patterned yellow runners running across the table, we also had our favorite words that have strong meaning in our lives as table names e.g. integrity, respect, love etc… we had candle Libras with yellow flowers e.g. roses etc and on each second table we had brandy vases with water and a big sunflower and floating gebras inside. As gifts to the guest we just had colorful packaged sweets
Describe your Wedding Dress: Princess like gown which we got from Morgan and Brown, white in color embroiled with shiny glitters on the chest
Describe your Wedding Cake: 3 tier wedding cake white with dashes of yellow, we chose a fresh vanilla cake which was made the day before; we opted for this kind than the traditional fruit cake
The Best thing about being a Bride: it’s my day; everything is about me and just making my parents proud
The Best thing about being a Groom: Making sure that everything was perfect for Hannah as this was about her, just also having family and close friends there to witness
Highlights/Special/Funny incidents of the day: Highlights is Hannah’s entrance with her Father in the chapel as my friend Osborn Toorn sang Joe Thomas’s I believe in you
Our entrance into the reception hall
Funny: My cousin’s dance moves and not to mention he was one of the groomsmen, we still love you though!
What have you learned from this experience: Only get married once lol
