We are so excited
After all of this time, we finally found one another! If you don't know how it came to be, here is our story in a nutshell...
It was 2021, we were both single and trying to find our feet after long term relationships all while navigating the crazy world of online dating. Not only this but it was STILL Covid and we had a few rules in place that made it harder to live our lives. We both swiped right and took a chance to meet in the parking lot at Muizenberg beach. We spent 4 hours walking and talking. The date clearly went well since we are now getting married nearly 3 years later! Thankfully Covid started to fade away, restaurants opened again and we could finally find our favourite thing to do together...eat!
We hope that you will join us on our special day in celebration of officially making it "official" and enjoy eating with us for our first meal together as Hubby & Wife.
