BRIDES AND BRIDESMAIDS

There are no words to describe the first moment when you see one of your best friends standing, glowing, in her wedding dress. As a bridesmaid I was completely speechless (and we all know how difficult that is to achieve), so I can only imagine how the Mother of the Bride and Bride herself must have been feeling. There we were; us 4 girls and The Mother of The Bride on a glorious Saturday afternoon in Langebaan, sipping champagne and basking in the sunlight of a beautiful summer-filled day talking about the times when we were young and carefree and before we knew it, we were all dressed to the nines standing together as the future bridal party of a wedding less than a month away! Her Wedding. My Best Friends Wedding. In a month’s time. HER WEDDING. OMG!!!

We are going to look like movie stars. Classic, Burlesque style, Gorgeous Goddesses that no camera could do justice to. And I’m not even talking about the Bride! By George she is going to look dazzling And that’s putting it mildly. There are no words to describe how beautiful, graceful and poised she is going to look at that moment when she walks down the aisle. And when she’s floating down that red carpet I’ll be looking to see her fiancé’s face, because I’ll put money on the fact that there will be tears.

I love weddings. There is always something magical about them. As cynical as I appear to be, I am a huge romantic at heart and am never able to get over the feeling of happiness so concentrated you just want to burst! That’s what weddings always feel like to me. A room filled with people, that for a specific amount in time, are all feeling the same thing. Happiness, joy and the confidence that love will actually conquer all.

Cheers to the Beautiful Blond Bride to be… xoxo
