Meet Shanara and Sally, two gorgeous girls whose love blossomed after meeting each other at work. It wasn’t long after when Sally organised for all of their loved ones to meet at their local beach to witness her proposal.

Shanara and Sally wed at Lake Wanaka in New Zealand on the 12th of December in 2014. They were joined by their Maid of Honours, Kym and Samantha, as well as close family and friends. Their black and white, elegant themed reception followed at Bistro Gentil in Wanaka.

Shanara’s most memorable moment was watching Sally walk down the aisle, and much to Shanara’s surprise, wearing a skirt rather than the trousers they had made together.

Both girls agree they wouldn’t change a thing about their special day.
