What three adjectives best describe your wedding?<\/b> Relaxed, elegant, intimate<\/i><\/p>\n

What inspired your South Africa wedding, and how did you incorporate your style and personalities into your big day?<\/b> We wanted a wedding that allowed us to interact with the guests. We wanted to make everyone comfortable and relaxed which would allow them to be themselves, as we know them. We didn’t want a formal event where we felt detached from the guests. The outdoor service provided that natural setting and openness which aligned with our characters. <\/i><\/p>\n
