WEDDING DAY IN GRASSY PARK

SAMANTHA & ADRIAN

Monday was a public holiday and an ideal Wedding Day. The sun was hot but overcast with a slight breeze. The Wedding of +Samantha and +Adrian  was a spur of the moment Wedding, yet everything  went down as smooth as silk. It took less than two weeks to plan, finance and execute their Wedding.  Timing was impeccable and the entire proceedings was just smart. It started at 3 in the afternoon and by 3:30 everyone was seated in the church and the pastor was busy delivering his pre-wedding sermon to the Bride and Groom and the guests. Samantha looked really elegant and her husband +Adrian really handsome. The bridesmaids looked lovely too, with their gold and black dresses but the Wedding Cake was to die for, not to mention the monster chauffeur driven limousine. The bestmen and bridesmaids were each chauffeured in  a Black VW Polo. The Wedding Cake was a five tier flower cake which can be viewed below. It was really stunning but I dear to say that it tasted much, much nicer than it looked. It was mouth watering thick chocolate cake with decadent layers of mousse.

We went to Arderne Claremont Gardens to take the Wedding photographs and eventhough the time spend there was short the photographs are really going to make a splendid photobook. Claremont gardens with its beautiful selection of obscure trees and foliage is famous as a venue for Wedding photography. Samantha had a beautiful dainty diamond ring with matching gold earrings and matching tiara. She looked like royalty. Adrian wore a white suit which is really uncommon in the hired tuxedo world, but it made him look the part. His bestmen wore black suits with matching ties and complimented him beautifully.   The hall was wonderfully decorated for more than 200 guests. Tasty food was in abundance and so were the speeches. It all started out with a prayer of thanks and ended off with a prayer of thanks. By 8 the evening the Wedding came to finality and Adrian was ready to take his wife Samantha to the honeymoon destination.

WEDDING DAY- AN AUSPICIOUS OCCASSION

If you have just stumbled upon my Wedding blog for the first time, I recommend that you start viewing from  "Wedding bells are Ringing" in order to get a good impression of what Wedding photography is all about, especially if you are a bride to be, or even just the girl next door.

Weddings are really cool, especially if you're invited, since your invitation entitles you to a treat by the wedding couple because you special, be you family or just a friend. Depending on the affluence of the occasion depends on the size of your treat. This could mean Breakfast, Lunch and Super including dessert, cake and coffee and could take up your entire day or at times this could mean a visit to the local court as a witness and meeting at a coffee shop afterwards. However, this invitation often come at a cost to you in the form of a wedding gift and even though it is not absolutely necessary, one normally feel obliged to buy one. Often times with Muslim Weddings, the bride and the groom have separate receptions and normally the procedure is that after the Nikkah takes place at a mosque which is only attended by males, a breakfast is hosted for them . Here you can get to see the bride in her morning Wedding Dress and the groom and his best-men in there best attire - in most cases,  three piece tuxedos and ties each wearing a pair of elegant shoes to match.

Normally the brides meets with the groom at this breakfast since they are now married to exchange Expensive Diamond Studded Rings  and wedding bands. Jewelry could range from just gold or platinum rings to gold wrist watches to gold arm chains to gold tiepins to gold earring and gold bangles. If you know your jewelry, this occasion is a treat in self.  Diamonds are a girls best friend and on this day, one just cannot help but notice how many times the bride looks at that gorgeous rock on her finger that she received. (See the worlds most expensive engagement ring)
