What were your memorable moments on your special day? All the personal touches and effort our family and friends made in creating the day, truly made it all so meaningful. It poured with rain most of the Saturday, and although some Plan B’s had to be made, the rain and mist created a magical atmosphere with the autumn colours, cosy fireplaces and English-countryside feel of Walkersons and Dullstroom. I loved getting ready with my bridesmaids, laughing and chatting excitedly. Seeing Greg’s face and the emotions of my family and friends as I walked down the aisle was definitely a moment to remember. No sooner had the ceremony ended when the rain stopped and the most beautiful sunset backlit our photographs. Instead of having individual tables for our 87 guests, we were all seated at one long T-shaped banquet-style table. Sitting at the head of the table, clinking our champagne glasses and seeing everyone’s smiling faces, lit up by the beautiful candles and flower arrangements was also a special memory. The evening was filled with laughter, great food, cutting the cake, throwing the bouquet, tossing of the garter and dancing into the early hours. All our guests stayed at Walkersons or nearby. We all shared breakfast on Sunday morning, where once again we laughed and shared in the memories that made this happy occasion! What advice do you have for other brides getting married? ..don’t stress about the small things, enjoy every moment and don’t forget to breathe! This is your special day, so enjoy all the magic and celebration of the day!
