This weekend I went to a magical, fairytale wedding. It felt as though I had awoken in another time and place. Set in Betty's Bay, the mountain behind us, clouds tumbling over, and the sparkling ocean spreading out before us - stunning!
The day was one of wild lavender and white roses,
vintage leather suitcases,
old fashioned bicycles with woven baskets overflowing with flowers,
antique books tied with ribbons and lace,
strands of glistening pearls,
hanging gilded bird cages swaying softly in the cool breeze,
lawn games of bowls and croquet,
girls in dresses twirling parasols,
glass bottles filled with berries, cloudy lemonade, cream soda and vanilla rooibos,
flirtatious waiters with trays of delicacies,
throwing red rose petals up into the air at a radiant couple,
horses galloping in the meadow,
glowing candles,
a jukebox,
a first kiss, a first prayer, a first dance,
afrikaans speeches and not understanding anything,
clinking glasses of bubbly champagne,
God's glory,
endless teasing and having an amazing time with old friends,
smiles, laughter and much, much love <3
Wishing Phillippe and Marbe a wonderful, Christ honouring marriage!
