How to Get Out of Being a Bridesmaid

Having been a bridesmaid 5 times now,  I know why they call us Bride’s MAID!  I laughed so hard at this!

I now pronounce you…

… Husband & Wife

 

The long awaited wedding took place this past weekend & I am happy to say that it all went off without a hitch.

The couple grumbled and groaned about posing for photos, but luckily our photographer was a pro and took gorgeous photos.

These are exactly the types of photos I had envisioned for my wedding one day and I am really excited to see the rest of the photos.

Greg flew up from Durban and as usual he was an invaluable part of the wedding process: holding flowers, getting drinks & generally being a rock of support on the day.

We all sat at 1 big table, and it was nice to do something different like that.

I would have liked some dancing etc, but this wedding was not about me. And to have Stacey saying that it was everything she had wanted in her wedding – that is all I had hoped for.

I stood up and gave an impromptu speech (the one thing I hate doing is speeches) but I just had to let them know that we as a family were happy to be welcoming Stacey into our family and we are really happy that my brother met her.

He gave a really nice speech where he mentioned that he has wanted to marry Stacey for 10 years and here it is. He said she looked gorgeous & she proved that his dreams can come true.

I will be doing them a photobook of the wedding just like the one I did of Thailand, and I am excited to have the holidays ahead of me to spend time on it.
