I was reading some forum yesterday (shouldn't have, but got sucked in) where people were all 'oh I hate wedding bloggers, they're forever saying everything is gorgeous and amazing in their sicky sweet intros'. I had to laugh. I mean, if you met me in real life, you would know that I tell it like it is. But at the same time you guys, your weddings ARE all gorgeous and amazing! If the day ever comes where I can't see the beauty (and I mean the real beauty, beyond the pretty details) in weddings, then I'll pack up and go home. So... haters begone. Because we have another gorgeous and amazing wedding to share! This one comes from the delightful Louise Vorster, and is full of pastel greys and greens, rustic touches and clean contemporary design (a hard balance to pull off, but Nadea and Riaan did it perfectly!). And let's not forget a healthy dose of shimmering, sparkly lights. Sigh.

Love Story This was actually the first venue we looked at and we took it on the spot. It is so beautiful and a lot of people do not know about it. It's like a little oasis just outside of Brits; so quiet, with the most beautiful dam, and a very calm atmosphere. The Honeymoon
He only told me at the airport two hours before our flight - we went to Thailand, Krabi, Phi-Phi Island and Patong for two weeks. It was truly heaven on earth!
We were both in res in our first year at the University of Pretoria. I was in Madelief and Riaan in Maroela. During the first week of induction I found myself in the Piazza in a group of a lot of Maroela men. I remember sitting next to this one guy who had the bluest eyes I had ever seen. This was Riaan. We starting chatting and instantly became best friends. Our friendship grew into a love story a year later and today we have been friends almost eight years and in love for seven.
