MiCaela'S photoS aiMy loUiSE phoToGraphy

How did you and your husband meet?

John and I met online during lockdown in 2020. He lives in New Zealand and I live in SA, so we were long-distance until we got married. We would fly back and forth to spend as much time together as possible, but now that we’re married, we’ll never have to say goodbye again!

Which venue did you choose and why?

We chose the Orchid House at Collisheen Estate for our wedding venue. It was perfect for us as it’s close to home, small-wedding friendly, and absolutely beautiful! The staff were so kind and helpful, especially Tae Marie who went above and beyond to make sure our special day went smoothly.

Tell us a bit about your decor I wanted my wedding to feel like a fairytale. I wanted lots of pink, flowers, candles and fairy lights. Alexis from Weddings By Jackie made my dream come to life! She handled all the decor and made sure I had the most beautiful flowers in all the shades of pink I love.

How did you go about planning your wedding?

We planned our wedding in about four months! I got engaged while I was in NZ with John in the middle of July, came home at the end of July, and started planning our wedding for November.

Since John and I were apart for most of the planning process, I got a lot of help from my parents. They came with me to all the meetings with the vendors and reminded me not to stress about the little things. The time difference made things difficult but we still managed to

make every decision together and made our dream wedding a reality.

What was your favourite moment?

I always said I wanted it to rain on my wedding day, and we had a whole thunderstorm - rain, wind, thunder, lighting and hail! I know it sounds like most brides’ worst nightmare but I loved every second of it. Another favourite moment would be the first looks with John and my dad. It was so special to have a moment alone with each of them before walking down the aisle.

Is there something you wish you knew before the big day?

Just how quickly it’s over! You plan for months and suddenly your wedding day is over in the blink of an eye. It’s so important to slow down and enjoy the whole thing, from the planning to the actual wedding day.

Be in the moment with the love of your life and remember that this is just the beginning of a lifetime of happiness together.

How did you and your husband meet?

Adheer and I studied at the same institution. We would occasionally glance at each other in the hallway but never spoke to each other. He plucked up the courage to DM me on Instagram after we had completed our final semester. We began chatting and he asked me to be his girlfriend on our first date. The rest is history!

w w w. T h e B a l l i t o m a g a z i n e . c o . z a

How did you go about planning your wedding?

I was overly confident and decided to do the planning myself. In retrospect, I should've hired a planner!

Which venue did you choose and why?

What was your favourite moment?

Our story is a unique one. Our wedding initially took place at Olwandle Estate.

However, the weather gods had other plans! The wedding took place on the weekend of the April 2022 floods.

Despite checking the weather forecast several times leading up to the day, there was no sign of rain. We were taken by complete surprise.

My favourite moment was when we were announced as Mr and Mrs. At the end of the day, I was happy to have married the love of my life despite the challenges we faced.

We recreated our special day a year later at Seaton Manor House. My heart is so happy that we were able to create beautiful memories of our special day.

This is proof that there is always a rainbow after a storm (literally!).

24 |

Tell us a bit about your decor The theme of our wedding was modern romance. This was a blend of soft pastel shades and florals which also matched my bridal lehenga.

Is there something you wish you knew before the big day?

Weather can make or break your day. I would advise other couples to have backup plans in case something unpredictable happens, especially if they're having an outdoor event. I also wish I was a bit more firm with certain service providers because some of my requests got lost in transition.

It always helps to read reviews because social media pages only display the good.

How did you and your Husband meet?

We first met over 15 years ago at a church youth camp. For the following 12 years, Brad tried his luck by confessing his undying love for me. I wasn’t too interested in him (in that way), however, we remained best of friends (#friendzoned). I moved to the UAE to teach, and it was over there that I realised Brad, back in South Africa, was truly "the one” all along!

wHicH venue did you cHoose and wHy? As our Catholic faith is important to both of us, we wanted to get married sacramentally in the church that we both grew up in, Our Lady of Fatima Parish. From there, we went directly to Maroupi Wedding & Functions. While the 35-minute drive was slightly out of the way, we wanted an open, outdoor and “countryside" vibe.

tell us a bit about your decor Our colours were green and white, with a touch of dusty blue. This came through in the flower arrangements, table decor and linen. Our favourite decor piece was our cake topper - a Beauty and the Beast ornament which I bought while at Disneyland Paris! Fittingly, this was the song for our first dance.

How did you go about planning your wedding?

With us both based in the UAE in the two years leading up to the big day, a few challenges were certainly experienced!

While we chose and booked the big ticket items a full two years before, most of the planning was done by ourselves while abroad. Visits home were crammed with dress fittings, decor meetings and the like.

wHat was your favourite moment?

Exchanging our vows together in front of our God, our church community and our loved ones was exceptionally special. However, my favourite moment was taking five minutes to take a step back and take it all in, together.

is tHere sometHing you wisH you knew before tHe big day?

We can’t say that we weren’t told it before, but that the big day flies by so very fast! Thankfully, we have all the videos and photos to help us remember all the thousands of special moments contained within those very quick, yet dream-cometrue, 10 hours.

Our Love Story

From first dates and chance encounters to forever… We spoke with a few local couples about their relationships and journeys together. Whether they’ve been together for one or 50 years, these stories will make you believe in true love!

luyanda & carla mothiba THE TIMELINE Luyanda, my husband, and I met in November 2010 on a night out. The following day, he invited me on a date to go house shopping and we then spoke every day since. We have been married for six years, and life has never been better.

PRECIOUS MEMORIES The highlights of our relationship are our travels and the amount of fun we

50 |

w w w. T h e B a l l i T o m a g a z i n e . c o . z a

have together. It’s impossible for us to be upset at each other for longer than 10 minutes. We love each other’s company and cherish our time together.

THE MEANING OF LOVE Love means safety and security. Love to me means you can be exactly who you are and not worry about judgement.

Love is my husband and my husband is my home.

PeoPle

andrew & sally ensor-smith THE TIMELINE Sally: Andrew’s mum booked his car into the company I was working for, and he came in with his friend. I then called Andrew two weeks later as a follow-up on the work done and asked him when he was going to take me out to dinner.

Andrew: That’s exactly what happened!

The universe had a hand in our two worlds colliding.

PRECIOUS MEMORIES Sally: It has to be our amazing children.

Watching them grow up and experience life with us has been the most amazing blessing.

Andrew: Every day is a highlight when you wake up with the person who makes you feel good in every possible way. We love to travel, laugh and have fun.

THE MEANING OF LOVE Sally: Love is about respecting each other as individuals, laughing together, and

living life together to the fullest. Love is something that matures as your relationship grows. Andrew and I have also worked together for the last 25 years in our business, so our love also has to have boundaries in our work life.

Andrew: Love is unconditional. You can’t turn it on and off at your will. It’s about how we speak to each other, the words we use, and respecting each other as different individuals.

Justin & lorinda scott THE TIMELINE Lorinda and I met in high school. We were in a school musical and got to do a dance together. There were a lot of laughs and banter. I was drawn to her feisty spirit. That was 35 years ago and we can say that we’ve had some adventures along the way and continue to do so!

THE MEANING OF LOVE It’s so many things. A relationship is tough and it goes through seasons and stages. You both grow and change, in interests, likes, habits, behaviours and so much more. It all happens as life sprinkles petals over you at stages and, at other times, hurls rocks. Love is the glue that holds you both together through it all. A decision, a feeling, a bond,

PRECIOUS MEMORIES There have been many. Having been together for a lifetime, our relationship has evolved and highlights in our 20s are different to our 50s. Having raised three amazing kids and being blessed with the gift of being parents has to rate up there, but perhaps overall I’d say it’s been this amazing journey we still choose to do together.

a commitment - sometimes all of these and at times just one.

"Love is patient, kind, bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails."

It's a daily choice.

nandha & vijay ramadu THE TIMELINE I met my husband in matric in 1971. It was an arranged marriage, and our parents came from the same linguistic and cultural background, Telugu. This confirmed a good match. My mother requested that there should be no visits until I completed the matriculation examinations.

52 |

w w w. T h e B a l l i T o m a g a z i n e . c o . z a

PRECIOUS MEMORIES Nandha is always a true gentleman and family person. His life and love revolve around me and the children. He made every effort to make our life comfortable.

The highlights of our marriage were the surprise gifts I received. If we were going dancing on a Saturday night, I would find an evening dress for the event under my pillow as well as chocolates or perfumes.

THE MEANING OF LOVE To me, the main criteria of marriage include trust and understanding - love follows thereafter. Unfortunately, Nandha lost his eyesight 12 years ago and went into renal failure about six years ago.

He does find it difficult to cope and becomes very depressed, especially if he gets admitted to hospital, which is often. Fortunately, we have an absolutely fantastic support structure from the family and his sister, Sue, who lives with us.
