Na tien lang jare verhouding, Elissa kon uiteindelik haar sprokiesprinses-oomblik vervul deur 'n tuintroue verlede September in Nieu-Suid-Wallis te hou, Australië. Om 'n troue tydens die pandemie te beplan was beslis 'n uitdaging, maar hulle het dit gemaak ! Baie geluk aan hierdie lieflike paartjie en dankie dat jy al hierdie pragtige oomblikke en herinneringe met ons hier deel!

V: Vertel ons jou liefdesverhaal! Waar & Hoe het hy voorgestel?
Ek en James het in die laaste week van die jaar begin uitgaan 12 deur die hele hoërskool by Wauchope High gegaan het, gradueer in 2010. Ja ons is al 'n rukkie saam. Toe ek my werk 'n vaste eiendom gekry het 6 Jare gelede het hy gesê as ek vir hom 'n huis kry, sal hy vir my 'n ring kry. So verlede September toe ons die sleutels van ons nuutgeboude huis kry, het hy op een knie geval en voorgestel. uiteindelik! We set the wedding date for the following September 26th on our 10 year dating anniversary. The bushfires were happening very close and leading up to Christmas everywhere was busy and booking out so we didn’t end up with an engagement party and decided to focus on the wedding. Our wedding venue was picked after our first two options got deposits for the date we wanted literally days before we were going to scope them out but it worked out for the best. The venue had such a lovely atmosphere and meant we could keep the ceremony and reception in one place. Then Corona happened.
Planning through the pandemic was tricky but we did it! We were lucky we didn’t have to postpone at all, we held out thinking, hoping that everything would calm down by September. The pandemic actually helped us to keep our guest count down and we ended up with a comfortable 60 mense, only having 2 couples unable to attend due to being out of state. I almost threw the towel in when the second wave started but James convinced me to keep going. There needed to be something good in this hectic year. The only thing that really threw us was when they allowed dancing for 20 of the official party. Rearranging the schedule to accommodate this 2 days out was such fun, NOT! Everything came together and James and I celebrated our wedding day with those nearest and dearest to us with only minor hiccups. I wish I could do it again and again!.
V: Wat was die beste/mees onvergeetlike deel van die dag?
Our First Dance. We chose “I can’t help falling in love with you” by Elvis. James’ Nan passed away a few years ago and she loved Elvis, so that was our dedication to her.
V: Waar het jy gehoor/gevind Kokomelodie?
I first stumbled across Cocomelody on Pinterest YEARS ago while planning my big day way before the ring, as everyone does. At first I thought it was a hoax with prices so low. I am glad I was mistaken.
V: Waarvan het jy die meeste van jou gehou #Cocomelody dresss?
Aspen was everything I wanted in a wedding dress and more! I was looking for a fairytale princess moment. My late Grandfather would call me his princess so this was my nod to him. I was very close to actually wearing a tiara too and sewed a blue heart into the dress from one of his shirts so he was there with me. I knew I wanted a ballgown/A-line style and first was looking at LD5066, it was just what I wanted. But as soon as I laid eyes on Aspen in the 2020 collection everything else paled in comparison. Kant, glitter, beading, appliques!! Just so perfect for me!
V: Wat dink jy van Cocomelody en die kliëntediens?
I couldn’t fault a thing! The customer service team – 100/10, always happy with any of my enquiries and very easy to talk to. Made me feel confident with my purchase across the globe. The Dress – 1000/10, With custom measurements it fit like a glove. The construction and material quality is fantastic. I was more than happy to tell everyone who asked where I got my dress. And will continue to recommend Cocomelody to anyone looking for their perfect trourok.
