Weddings... It's always a funny day this one. Butterflies in your stomach and last minute panics with bursts of bridezilla moments. I think I did quite well (well, in my mind at least I wasn't a diva).
The morning started out quite cruisy really. My 3 bridesmaids (maid of honour Melanie, sister Edeleen and cousin Alicia) said they've got everything sorted and I fully trusted them. There's nothing more I could do except to let things go and just enjoy my big day.
We got to
Wairakei Resort at 9am so my girls could do some last minute set up with the tree. Mel did my makeup and Jess Wall did my hair. Love both my makeup and hair btw, the girls did an amazing job.

The
pics made it look so calm but by the time we got to getting me into my dress, we were frantic as we were running late and my guests had been sweltering for 20 minutes under the hot Taupo sun. At least it was better than windy rain and cold!
We finally got me all laced up and down to my handsome daddy. Oh he looked radiant that day. So happy he's walking me down the aisle xx
We walked in to none other than
Ed Shereen's Thinking Out Loud which I so love because of his beautiful lyrics of mysterious ways people fall in love and how they will keep on loving each other till they are 70 (and beyond...). I was gripping my dad's hand very tightly as I was feeling so nervous and excited at the same time.
It was a magical feeling walking down the aisle, passing all my family and close friends, to my handsome husband to be. Quite surreal actually.
Daddy gave me a peck on the check and handed me over to Jerry. It's happening!!
If you are ever looking for a celebrant, I will highly recommend Belinda de Lautour from
The Wedding Angel. She will take care of you from the beginning planning stages, and hold your hand all the way until the end. She was so amazing. Made our ceremony so beautiful and personal. I couldn't help it. I teared up and mucked up my makeup after our vows when Belinda was doing the blessing of the hands.

We performed a beautiful sand ceremony where we poured two different colours of sand (red representing me and black representing Jerry) to symbolise the coming together of our two cultures and individuals as one - and as the grains may not be separated, so would our lives be intertwined forever.

Mum closed the ceremony with a touching reading and it was all over and done in half an hour. Felt like time had passed so fast! We had some amazingly fun shots with the bridal party by our lovely photographer Krystle from
Bespoke Photography. Love love it!
It was on to speeches and a BBQ lunch before the next round of guests arrived at 2.30pm. Jerry's soccer team, my colleagues and friends shared our day with us as we cut the cake, did a yam seng and had our first dance. Thanks to best man Ray for getting Jerry to agree to the first dance!

Life without love is not a life but an existence in pain and penury. I am using this medium to let the world know of Dr Zadson a true spell caster that gave me results in just 3 days. I know that most of this spell casters online are not able to cast powerful spell, they only charge extravagant and yet dont deliver beacuse i tried several of them before i met Dr Zadson and he brought the love that i desire to my life. Today i live a very happy life with my spouse and am grateful to him. If you need love in your life or the help of a real spell caster contact him on his email eduduzadsontemple@yahoo.com or call his number +2347050269626 .
