Boegoeberg Wedding, Graafwater.
Rian & Nesté’s wedding, like so many other couples’ weddings, had to be postponed due to Covid. But we were so overjoyed that their day finally arrived to celebrate with family and friends!
How they met: “One of my school friends started a mxit group chat in 2009. As faith would have it Rian was also on it and invited me and we started talking. It then came out that Rian was one of my best friend’s cousins. Knowing this I felt at ease talking to this boy. We were such good friends and we’ve never even met each other face to face. We just “clicked”. Rian said in 2009 that one day he would marry me. Now he loves to tell me that “I told you so”. We met for the first time in 2011 and then started dating in 2013. I made the man work for my love.”
Tips they would pass on the couples planning their wedding: “Make a list of all the important things. Work by your list. It is so nice to tick something off once it’s done. Don’t let family drama get to you. (I know it’s hard) Accept help and advice from family and friends. I tried doing everything on my own and it made me stress so much. But most of all enjoy this time with your fiancee. Planning our day was stressful but dreaming about it and doing it together is/was so much fun.”
