Our Love Story

On the 6th of January 2013, we laid eyes on each other for the first time at a mutual friend’s birthday party. Andre told his friend that night that we will be together one day. I remember looking at his tall frame and bushy hair, meeting the gaze of his kind eyes and thinking – uh oh, I’m in trouble! A whole year passed, and nothing happened between us…. UNTIL the night of my Matric Farwell (Senior Prom). 

Andre invited me to dance with him, and as I thanked him for the dance and walked away, he pulled me back and kissed me in the middle of the dance floor. Being a dancer , he knew this move would blow me away, and blow me away it did. That moment changed the course of both our lives. Thank goodness he had the guts to make his move. I felt like the butterflies would burst right out of me.
For the past nine years we have travelled together across Asia, getting to know the world and ourselves as we grew together as a couple and as individuals. We became inseparable – best friends, partners in crime and lovers.
On the 10th of October 2020 – he made me the luckiest girl alive, by asking my hand in marriage, surrounded by our family and friends. We spent two years planning our intimate yet most special day. On the 11th of November 2022, we finally became one, in every way possible. 
We treasure each other in ways I simply cannot describe – but I know that I am forever grateful to have met my soul mate so young, knowing we get to grow old together and getting to love each other for the rest of our lives.

A simple wedding can be held anywhere but we suggest using the same venue for both ceremony and reception. You can also look into all-inclusive venues that will take care of food, décor, photographer, alcohol, staff, guest accommodations and more. What could be simpler?

Consider mismatched wedding party dresses, and brides may want a gown with clean lines or even a tea-length dress.

Need vendors for your simple wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

A simple wedding sticks to the basics, doesn't go crazy on décor and keeps the guest list minimal. The venue should be somewhere that will look beautiful as is or with only a few extra touches or will require only a little DIY effort.

At a simple wedding, be very particular with your guest list. You really only need to invite your "A-list," aka your immediate families and closest friends. It will help your budget and less guests means more face time with each person. Consider a shorter timeline—this will help your budget and keep the celebration from feeling too formal. And only focus on the most important details, there's no need to calligraphed signage at a simple wedding!

Simple

Traditionally, we see a gorgeous garden party wedding with plenty of lace, especially when it comes to the wedding dress, and rustic touches. If you're looking for more of a flashy appeal, consider metallics, sequins and even a New Year's Eve wedding date!

We love the idea of using an old-school car as your reception exit vehicle.

Need vendors for your Vintage wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

Vintage weddings are a romantic and popular style perfect for a couple who loves the glam of the 20s or simple beauty of the Victorian era. The vintage wedding style will fit in perfectly at a garden venue, estate or historic home or inn.

A vintage wedding is perfect for the romantic at heart. You can embrace the glamour of the roaring '20s or the modern retro of the '50s or even the bohemian natural beauty of the '60s. A vintage wedding style is broad and the definition is different for every couple. We recommend venues with a little history and to really embody the era your theme is based on from the attire to the reception exit.
