Our beloved country is filled with non commercial jewels, just like the beautiful little town of Malgas, in the Western Cape. This settlement is also home to the last man-hold cable ferry in South Africa. The beautiful surroundings and the tranquility of the river was the perfect backdrop for Matthys and Adele's wedding.

Lovebirds | How did you two meet?

We met at Malagas, a small holiday spot next to the beautiful Breede river. There was a
good old fashioned 'lang arm' shed dance where our paths crossed. To go full circle, 7
years later we got married at Malgas.

I said Yes | How did the proposal go down?

He proposed on their farm, Aandblom. It is also the name of a small yellow flower that
grow there. He cut a small clearing in one of their Canola fields and surprised me with a
picnic at sunset with champagne, a couple of hand picked 'Aandblomme' and a sea of
yellow canola flowers that surrounded us.

The Big Day | Tell us the most memorable moment of your wedding day?

For me personally, I think it was the look on my soon to be husband's face as I came
down the isle with my dad.

For us as a couple, probably the opening of the dance floor as we rocked and rolled over
the dance floor on one our favorite Afrikaans 'lang arm' songs.

I Quote | Describe in one sentence your wedding day

A magical and unforgettable day of love, fun, and all the beautiful things in life that
money can't buy.

Forever & Always | Any advice for future brides

Don't sweat the small stuff.
You will never in your life again feel as beautiful as you do that day.
Take just a couple of moments with your new husband to walk away from the reception.
Take that time to see everything from a far and take it in. It's moments like that, that will
carry you through the tough times.
