I woke up yesterday with a big smile! I sat in bed, I picked up my laptop and then after a few hours I realized it was 14:00! I totally lost track of time, all I was thinking was date, venue, catering, flowers, make-up…for the first time I was on the other side! I realized I’m going to be a bride! :)
I added a picture of my engagement ring… I think it’s super original and uber cool, just like my fiance. (yeh!! I can say it..my FIANCE! he he) iaan is the kinda guy that doesn’t do anything like anyone else. He’s an individualist and always creative! He picked this ring, because he wanted it to be a surprise and according to him (which is actually true :) I can’t make up my mind, so new week we’ll go look for a ring together. I have NO idea how to explain what the writing means in English…it’s a South African saying. It basically means my wife, but in a much more creative cool way :) trouvrou, literally “wedding-wife”.
Awesome awesome stuff Christine! :) Can’t wait to see what the “official” engagement ring looks like. Hope your happy bubble lasts for a loooooong time….Congrats again!

Fun in da sun! Ek is saam met jou opgewonde en ook om die gevoel wat jy nou voel eendag self te ervaar :) Dis rerig ‘n super rad ring. Trouvrou also refers to the calibre of girl you are – and Iaan is saying you are the perfect woman to marry!
sjo, ek wou congrats se op die vorige post, maar almal het al daar geluk gesE, so BAIE geluk, dis ‘n awesome tyd in mens se lewe – geniet die verloof wees gedeelte (mens wens dit partykeer verby). Die getroud wees fase is obvously ook awesome en jy mag maar uitsien!! Ek en my man is nou bietjie meer as 3 jaar getroud en dit raak net beter. Met God as die middelpunt kan dinge net beter en beter gaan. Enjoy elke oomblik en die ring is SUPER funky!!
Christine, so exciting. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed the planning, the creative side, the time with family and the actual day. I wish I could rewind time and do it all over again. This is especially true since loosing my dad last year. I am just so grateful that he was there to “give me away”. Savour every moment with everyone.
supercool idee!
