From saying your “I do’s” in front of half of the country to eloping with just your parents as witnesses, everyone has their own idea of the perfect wedding.
Not every woman dreams of gliding down the isle in a big, poofy white dress, and these days, men are becoming involved in wedding planning.
When things start getting serious in a relationship, it’s natural to start talking weddings, even if it’s just ‘one day’ or ‘some day’. This week, we took to Facebook to hear what our readers’ ideal wedding would be…
Small and intimate. Rather spend the money on the honeymoon.
Traditional church, big of course, since it will be the best day of my life and my family and friends have to spend the special day with me.
Oshiwambo weddings are a family affair. There really is little choice but I think I would love the big traditional wedding as an initial wedding and maybe five years down the line, a small intimate wedding on the beach for us alone.
I would like to get married under the tree. A traditional church ceremony with us being driven in a donkey cart. Back to our roots. That will help me spend less money and have a beautiful wedding.
A traditional ceremony, of course. Unfortunately it can’t be small since I’m Owambo. But it is important though not to spend too much on the wedding because you will need to build your home.
A traditional church wedding, small and intimate. Less spending and more saving for future benefits!
Sunset at Camps Bay Beach, white sand and white roses, looking over Table Mountain… An intimate wedding with family and close friends.
At the beach, but simple and special with fresh flowers. After the vows we leave on a boat decorated with flowers.
I have never liked church weddings, I would prefer to exchange vows in a beautiful garden or on the beach. Let me just say outdoors.
To the Magistrate’s Court and then straight home.
Just a traditional church wedding. I will not spend to impress people because at the end of the day, I will be footing the bills.
A fairytale wedding on a beach or a cruise ship. Small and intimate with a honeymoon in the Seychelles.
