Welcome!

Hi

Welcome to my blog and my journey from engagement to wedding. I decided that this is such an important part of my life and such a wonderful beginning that I want a record of it. And, maybe through some of my experiences I will help others and other brides can give me their tips and advice to make my wedding planning easier.

George and I got engaged only 2 months ago and so everything is so fresh and exciting. We have decided to get married in May 2010 – I love Autumn, it’s my favourite month. The days here in Jo’burg or the Highveld are perfect and warm with clear skies and the colours are JUST amazing. I can’t help but dream about the beautiful photo opportunities.

I/We are taking the planning slowly. In fact, we've only made one decision - a bush wedding, otherwise we haven't planned anything - I've given myself the last 2 months just to think about what our possibilites are - so that the day reflects both of us. Also, I want to plan the wedding bit by bit, so I don't get tired of the W word :) George has said - a bush wedding is fantastic and that I must plan my perfect day, so here goes!

We both LOVE the outdoors and spend as much time as possible in the bush and so naturally (for us) we are going to try and find a game farm or something of the sort for our wedding. For me, a bush wedding is perfect.

So the few things that we want to remember over the next year of planning are: Family and fun. Simple and elegant. Stay true to what WE want.

We want a day that is filled with family and friends and laughter. It must be simple, clean cut and elegant. The emphasis is not Opulence, it’s the marriage.

I hope you enjoy my journey. I'll be posing links and pics and ideas I love. Please add your comments and advice - they are always welcome.
