Before I take some time to rest and soak it all in, I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. To everyone who sent messages, I see them and even though I haven't had the chance to respond yet, please know that I appreciate each and every one of them...
"To my incredible friends and family who traveled for different provinces just celebrate with us, your love and support means the world to us. Sharing this special day with you all made it even more unforgettable," added the new Mrs Maela.
