Venues

We have finally decided on our venue… the first one we looked at and the one I’ve been in love with from the start (got my way in the end…).

I am not a frilletjies en valletjies type of person. I like clean lines and simplicity above all. Most of the venues we looked at cater for brides who like lace and organza, ivy and roses… That is just not me. GV liked Zebra Country Lodge, North of PTA. The main reason being that all his mates can spend the night and don’t have to drive home. I am all for having a party until the early morning but I would prefer to have breakfast the next morning with the family and close friends, not EVERYBODY.

So, our chosen venue???

Nine years in the making…

So, after nine years of living together, GV finally decided to ask me to get married! On our 3 day long December ‘holiday’ he went down on one knee after a fabulously romantic three course dinner on our private deck and made a speech that would melt anyone’s heart. I said yes, of course. Actually, I made him sweat a little first (after all, he did make me wait 9 years!).

So after letting the parents know the good news immediately and all our friends the next day (sms is SUCH a wonderful invention…) we started talking about what kind of wedding we would like.
