One of the precious memories is when my grandfather Seun Schutte walked me halfway down the Isle and handed me over to my mother Susan Erasmus who took me further and gave me away to Ruben. The very moment I walked down the Isle and the first person I saw was my husband. When we arrived at the venue we walked through two beautiful wooden doors down the steps with our guests standing on the left hand side and the right hand side and as we walked down the stairs they cheered for us.
The message that was brought that day was about love and storms in your life. The moral was that storms should bring you closer together and not drive you apart. When you love God you will automatically love your spouse. Yes, we were so privileged to go on honeymoon. We went to Hazy View and surroundings for the first couple of days.
There we had a walk with the elephants at the Elephant sanctuary, went to God's Window, went down the gorge with the gorge lift and we also enjoyed a horse riding trail. Finally we spent the weekend in the Kruger National Park. Here we were so blessed to see 30 different types of animals. We so badly wanted to see Hyenas and on our way out of the Kruger Park we saw Hyenas with their cubs it most certainly was a wonderful surprise and blessing.
I am a girl who likes things that have a vintage kind of feel to it. I chose Engela because she has been my hairdresser for ages and she knows exactly what to do when I explain to her what I want. When I went for a trial I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she nailed it.
My makeup, I went for a natural look. My makeup was done by Monique from Mirrors in Randfontein. When I first saw my wedding dress it was on Something Beautiful's facebook page and when I saw it I knew this is my dress. The dress was a sleeveless dress with lace flowing softly. My shoes were pink flats so that I would be able to wear them afterwards. For jewellery I wore White pearly earrings which I received as a gift from one of my cousins at my bridal shower and a silver watch which Ruben gave me for my birthday and a silver ring on my ring finger which were a promise I made to myself, my Savior Jesus Christ and my husband, to stay pure until the day I got married.
