Michiel & Leandri's Everwood Wedding - Wedding Friends

via

Many young girls dream of a fairy tale wedding, where they'll exchange vows with their handsome, Prince Charming. This beautiful couple definitely looked like a young prince and princess on their special day. Leandri's happily ever after dream certainly came true.

Michiel and Leandri were married at the scenic Everwood. Photographed beautifully by Lilly Leigh Photography, the young couple are absolutely radiant on camera. Leandri shares a little bit of their story...

Lovebirds | How did you two meet?

We have know each other since we were little. We never really took notice of each other back then. When he was 12, he and his parents moved away to Pietersburg. Many years later, in 2010, I found him on Facebook. I sort of started stalking him - he was gorgeous! A year after, I invited him on BBM and we started talking. On June 24, 2011 he surprised me at my home. We had our first date that very first night and ever since then we hit it off. Almost 5 years later, here we are, together and very happily married.

I said Yes | How did the proposal go down?

The proposal did not go exactly as planned. He wanted to take me on a hot air balloon ride and ask me to marry him afterwards,but the weather did not play along that day. It was too windy and too cold. He then took me to the quaintest little coffee shop where we had brunch. After we ate, he got up to go to the car (The ring and a GoPro camera was in the car). He took a while to get back to the table and I got a little anxious waiting. When he came back, he looked me straight in the eyes and told me that he needed to talk to me. I did not really listen. He got up, got on one knee and asked me to marry him.

The Big Day | Tell us the most memorable moment of your wedding day?

Where do I start? The entire day itself was the most memorable moment for us. From the moment we woke up, to the last second of the night. Everything went absolutely perfect, that itself was also very memorable. The feeling you got when you walked into the enchanted fairy light banquet hall also was one of the most memorable moments. From the first dance, to the father-daughter dance (It was not the traditional dance), to the sketch artists we booked to draw caricatures of our guests. Everyone loved it. All in all, it was the best day of our lives.

I Quote | Describe in one sentence your wedding day

The most enchanted fairy tale wedding that every girl dreams of her entire life - with fairy lights and the dream dress as well.

Forever & Always | Any advice for future brides

Start planning immediately after you get engaged. It does not matter if your are only getting married in a year or even 2 years' time. Get quotes from vendors all over, draw up a spreadsheet where you can compare prices and everything that is included. In such a manner you can choose the best option and get the cheapest possible offer. Also, do not try to plan everything by yourself, allow others to help you - you do not want to be stressed out on your big day. If you are worried that you may forget something, start making a list and give it to the one person you trust most. They will make sure you have everything you need. Lastly, involve your fiance, even if he does not want to be part of it, he will appreciate it in the long run because then there are things that he decided on and liked too - it will feel like his special day as well. That is what it is all about.
