Week 28: Married in Mauritius!

Well, not me!

But my sister and her amazing man recently tied the knot in Mauritius and I was there ❤

Following on from the celebrations in South Africa,  a large-ish group of family plus the bride & groom’s best friends headed off to Mauritius to be part of the actual wedding event – a total of 15 in our group for the holiday 🙂

We stayed at Le Victoria, on the north-west coast of the island, which offers amazing sunsets because, of course, you want beautiful sunset shots at your wedding!

From start to finish, this 4-day holiday was simply superb. All-inclusive packages meant that you could eat & drink to your heart’s content from the minute you opened your eyes in the morning, until you closed them again at night. There was no shortage of food, refreshments and most definitely fun & laughter.

And having a wedding on the beach meant walking barefoot on the sand – what a treat!

The wedding was nothing short of spectacular! From the wedding coordinator to the photographer and officiator, these guys really made this wedding a dream come true for Stretch and her man. And they could not have wished for better weather even if they’d tried… the skies were gloriously clear and blue during the day, with perfect clouds coming in to offer up the most magnificent sunset.

And all of this was followed by a scrumptious dinner set out on our own private stretch of beach 🙂

The day after the wedding celebration, we all hopped onto a catamaran and cruised out to a smaller island where we spent the day lying in the sun, snorkelling onshore, enjoying freshly cooked lunch and the locally made rum 😉

Wedding 3 of 4 for 2017, perfectly done and dusted!
