what a beautiful day!

so the day that i have planned for the past few weeks finally came to pass - what a beautiful day it was.....more so because it was shared with 40 beautiful people very close to our heart..... Our 10th year marriage anniversary was according to our wish - I must admit, planning it drained me a little especially considering my 5month foetus growing inside me ....  but when the day finally came - somehow i pulled through - now i understand when the bible says that a glad heart is makes the bones strong - when you are happy, even sickness runs away from you !!!  I felt strong, fresh and vibrant - a feeling that I have missed. 

So we asked all ladies attending to wear red dresses, gents to wear black shirts and denim blue jeans - it gave this look:  Man with a rough edge accompanied by a beautiful classy woman ! Just the way most of us like it right?  I dont know about most of you but i really prefer that a little Rugged look on my man opposed to a sleek all matchy matchy dressing - as long as they smell good and are well-shaven - i dont mind the masculine look thats a little rough !

Kids were not invited except of-course our 2 little ones - the boy (8) wore same colours as the men, and little Miss angel (4) wore a beautiful red princess dress - they looked simply cute....

SO I thought of all different colours that would break nicely into all these colours - wearing red was not an option because I had to look outstanding, any other colour would probably have clushed badly with the reds so the best colour for me was white - oh that dress looked good on me and my protruding belly - it was not a snow - white but winter white dress - i wont say much about it - will post a few pics when i have them ready -
Our beautiful cake was white with Silver hearts scattered all over and a bit of red to pick on the theme - .... The table linen was a beautiful black and white zebra print and white runners - i added a long row of little red candles on the table - oh the set up was a looong T table where everyone was sitting side to side and opposite each other. Me, hubby and the kids were sitting on the T-end so we could be in everyone's view...

I had guys from my Dress For Success show just outside the entrance - interviewing the guests - you know like they do at the "Oscars" Mmm - that made some people feel special !

The food was just as great - it was especially for meat lovers "carnivores"  We ate all types of game, from zebras to impalas to crocodiles etc.....different types of salads and great desserts ! 

The Speech my husband gave made me want to cry , but i didnt because i dont like runny mascara "hehehe" - i did pretty well delivering mine too **blush!

Anyway, in a nutshell - everything went perfectly well and as always I always give THE GLORY TO GOD ALMIGHTY !
