“Be my forever…”
An elegant delft blue wedding at Nooitgedacht, set in the Stellenbosch winelands.
How they met: “I met Stefan’s best friend on Shofar church’s first years’ camp in 2012 and went on a Valentines’ day date with him, so my he Facebook stalked me. The two of us met the year after at the same first years’ camp – I was a facilitator and my he was a first year. We met in the hot-chocolate line when my he recognized me and we started talking.”
Their engagement story: “Stephan invited me on a chilled day roadtrip date, but mentioned we do not have a set destination. We then drove in the direction of the Overberg and stopped at farm stalls and viewing spots, etc. When we came to a fork in the road, Stephan asked me if I want to go this way or that and I suggested we go to Kleinmond (falling right into his secret masterplan). We walked on the beach, prayed together and then, under my suggestion, went to our favourite spot in Kleinmond – a private rock area close to the breaking waves, where we had our first kiss in 2014. This location would then also enable us to see the partial eclipse that was taking place on that afternoon. Stephan took out some snacks and I gobbled away as I was very hungry at this point. After only a few minutes Stephan ordered me to finish my food, saying we need to start driving home again. I was a bit disappointed as I was still really hungry and could not understand his rush. He packed away the food and when he turned around, he went on his knee and asked me to be his wife. I was completely surprised but so happy! And what a perfect place to pop the question.”
