under african skies

Leanne & Andrew were always destined to be together and with a relationship spanning over 13 years, there was no better way to celebrate a new year together than with a new life as husband and wife. Not only did their wedding take place in the heart of the bushveld in Waterskloof but under a rare blue moon too.

THE PROPOSAL
On a golf course of all places. It was on the 14th hole of Roman road, Celtic Manor in Wales. I was having a shocking round, I was on the green for about 5 and had already 2 putted - I was just about to pick my ball and move on when I noticed out of the corner of my eye that there was something in the hole... It took a few minutes before I realised what it was. Andrew had managed to place the ring box in the hole without me knowing. I just stood there for ages staring into the hole until Andrew finally picked up the box, opened it and asked me to marry him. It wad totally unexpected. I was in tears! Needless to say I couldn't continue playing golf!

MEMORABLE MOMENT
"The highlight of my day was from the moment I set eyes on Andrew, we kept eye contact until I was by his side. I was so happy I think I laughed all the way down the aisle!"

DETAILS WE LOVE:
In Good Company was fortunate to be able to help Leanne together with her wedding planner Sharon from SB Wedding Consultants with some of her wedding details. Andrew pretty much relinquished all creative decisions to Leanne except for the fact that he wanted warthogs! We obliged.
