The story so far...
Bezalel.
2012.
A day like no other ended in a proposal on Clifton Beach. The small-town farmer with his city Dentist.
A true love story filled with joy and beautiful moments.
The great hunt for the perfect wedding venue had begun. After travelling through the Cape and other areas of South Africa they fell in love with Wakkerstroom.
The small town in Mpumalanga that is filled with friendly faces, beautiful nature scenes and small grave roads were exactly what they were looking for.
Mr Hodsdon already had a piece of land just outside Wakkerstroom.
Now he just had to build his bride her perfect dream wedding destination.
Although this beautiful act of love had her flattered, it also resulted in some nervous moments.
It was only a week before the big wedding day that the last walls were painted and the floor polished for the big party.
Nevertheless the Hodsdon family now resides on a farm just outside of Volksrust with their 3 stunning children.
In Hebrew Bezalel means 'under God's protection'.
This is the prayer that the Hodsdon family prays over each couple who chooses Bezalel for their wedding.
May your marriage, family and loved ones always fall under God's protection.
