I hate when people talk about cookie-cutter weddings, because in my experience, there's so much thought and love and care that goes into every couple's wedding, whatever decor and design they choose. But some weddings really manage to go above and beyond in being a perfect expression of the pair involved, and where I feel like I can get a beautiful sense of who they are and what they love just from the choices they make for their Big Day. Today's wedding is one of those - a heartfelt day in the middle of spectacular natural scenery, surrounded by (and handmade in many cases by) the people that Angelique and Marnus love and admire the most. My absolute favourite element though, is Angelique's vintage dress - vintage in the true sense of the word, since it belonged to her great grandmother. What an incredibly special thing to be able to share, and what a gorgeous gown, on its second outing. These lovely pics by Kikitography really get across the sense of peace and joy that radiate from bride and groom, and from the wedding they created.

The Honeymoon I had no idea where we were going until we stood at the airport! It was indeed a lovely surprise. We spent part of our honeymoon at the Oyster Box Hotel in Umhlanga and part at the Drakensberg. Marnus carefully planned even the tiniest details and every day he had a surprise event in store for the two of us.
