Sometimes you get a big surprise at a wedding, and this was one of them. I haven’t met the bride and groom before the wedding. When I got to the wedding the brides mother looked very familiar to me. We quickly discovered that they stayed right opposite me 15 years ago, I saw the bride as a little girl and my son was even in the same class in school as her sister. What a nice surprise meeting old friends again after so many years.
After this nothing could go wrong with the wedding, we had the time of our life. Everybody was so friendly and Victorian Manor in Cullinan as usual was their normal excellent self. I love this venue.
They got married in an old church in Cullinan, I just love the place. They didn’t only get married the day, they even christened their youngest daughter just after the wedding ceremony, how special is that!
After that we went to the old railway station and took some photographs there, they had an old vintage car as well that fit in perfectly with Ryanne’s vintage theme.
The evening was a nice get together of people that obviously loved each other and enjoyed each others company.
Ryanne and JP. Thanks for allowing us to share your big day with you, you are two really really awesome people, your parents can be so proud of you!
We asked Ryanne and JP some questions, here we go.
