since receiving all of our wedding photos over the weekend i’ve been trying to work through the over 900 photos.  it is one massive task! so i thought the best way of doing it is to break it into different times during the day.

and i will start off with a few photos of me getting ready at kleinkaap in pretoria. we decided to drive through from groblersdal to pretoria on the morning of the wedding.  it was quite a task to get everyone (and all the baggage) in the 2 cars.  we got to kleinkaap early in the morning, packed everything out and the guys & galls split up and went to our respective rooms. 

in the girls room we made ourselves pretty by painting each other’s nails and then getting our hair and make-up done.  it was such a relaxing atmosphere.

we drank champagne:

had a few laughs with my sisters:

the morning went past so quickly.  before we realised it, it was time to get dressed & get married! {the following photos was taken by: hannalee}

a few more laughs with the sisters

my sister Janine got a big shock when she noticed all the buttons on the back of my dress.
