Erick & Suzaan

“We realized we had something to fight for after our long distance friendship evolved into a deeper connection despite being on separate ends of the world.”

It was an incredibly beautiful winters day; everything Suzaan & Erick prayed it would be. Suzaan’s dress was exquisite, she looked absolutely radiant and Eric said the most beautiful words about her in his speech.

May your love grow stronger everyday as you build your marriage on Jesus, your rock.

“Erick proposed on a rooftop in the inner city of Johannesburg (Hillbrow). Joburg holds a special place in both our hearts since it’s been our home for the past 4 years.”

Advice from the bride: “I learnt early on that plans and ideas can change quickly and I would advise others to not let that get you down. I learnt that it’s also very important to keep perspective in this whole process and not get too caught up in the details. Try and maintain focus on the overall meaning behind a wedding day and find someone who can remind you of that when your head starts to spin!!”

Favourite moments about planning your wedding: “I loved all the time I got to spend with my mom arranging this day. In addition, there were some special moments, whether it was with a venue visit, a tasting or meeting with a service provider; both Erick and I had this overwhelming feeling of excitement and appreciation for our families and being able to have such a beautiful day!!”

 “We want our day to be remembered as a “warm” winters day surrounded by our loved ones eating good food and spending time together.”
