Weddings in Heaven on Earth
Your wedding day is undoubtedly one of the most special and
important days of your life. Making the profound commitment
to love, honour and obey isn't even half as difficult as the
year of wedding planning mayhem that precedes it.
Once the engagement ring has been slipped onto your finger you

wedding to be receiving beauty treatments in the comfort of a
luxurious lodge rather than running around, from manicurists
to hair dressers to dress fittings and then back to the
manicurists because somewhere along the line you have managed to
smudge something and have had a near nervous breakdown in the
process.
Spending an afternoon getting manicures, pedicures and massages
while sipping champagne with your bridesmaids and mother sounds
like a far more civilised way to get through the day.
After your relaxing day of pampering it's nice to know that you
can go for a game drive instead of rushing to the
reception hall to sort our d
