How it all began

An unexpected
passenger

01

Marinda’s story

It all started with a birthday celebration and a night out with a friend. Somewhere during the evening, I noticed Vincent. I thought he was attractive, but I never spoke to him and honestly didn’t think much more of it.

As the night went on, my friend and I decided to move to another bar. I was driving my little blue Tata Indica, and off we went.

What I didn’t know was that Vincent knew my friend — and, somehow, he had ended up in the back seat of my car. I had absolutely no idea.

I drove us to the next bar, completely oblivious to the fact that the handsome guy I had noticed earlier was sitting right behind me. Looking back now, it’s probably one of the funniest parts of our story: I had unknowingly driven my future husband to our next destination.

Vincent’s story

From my side, I had already noticed Marinda too.

I knew her friend, which eventually led to me ending up in the back of her little blue car. What makes the story even funnier is that Marinda had no idea I was there.

So while she was simply going about her night, I was sitting in the back seat, completely unaware that this seemingly random moment would eventually lead us here.

Neither of us knew it at the time, but somewhere between a birthday celebration, a night out and an unsuspecting car ride, our story had quietly begun.

“Sometimes, the best love stories don’t start with a grand romantic moment.
Sometimes, they start with a girl who thinks a guy is attractive…
and then unknowingly drives him around in her car.”

A little note

Your seat at
our table

Because weddings involve a slightly terrifying amount of planning, food, drinks and paying-per-head expenses, we kindly ask each guest to pay a small reservation fee when confirming their RSVP.

This helps us secure your place and ensures we don’t order enough food for the entire neighbourhood when half of them secretly decide to stay home. 😊

♙ Reservation fee
AdultsR200per person
Children under 12R100per child
✓ Your RSVP is confirmed once payment has been received.

Good food, good music, great company and at least one embarrassing dance move included. ❤️

Thinking of a gift?

Your presence is
our greatest gift

After 11 years of living together, we’ve built a lovely little nest — and probably own enough kitchen appliances, towels, crockery and household items to open a small department store. 😂

If you’d like to spoil us with something extra, a cash gift would be deeply appreciated. We’d love to put it towards our honeymoon, shared adventures and beautiful memories as we begin this next chapter.

Please don’t feel obligated. Your love, your presence and celebrating with us mean far more than any gift ever could.

Thank you for helping us turn a little bit of paper into a lot of unforgettable memories.
