Guy And Gen get married

Guy and Gen had one of the most beautiful ceremony locations I think I have ever seen and perfect weather to go with it! It was a stunning celebration of love and we absolutely adored being a part of it and meeting such special people throughout the day.

How did you both meet?  “My parents met on the verandah of some friends from school 38 years ago in the small town of Himeville. My parents now live in Himeville and I was visiting them for Christmas in 2012. Guy was visiting his sister, who married a farmer from Himeville, and on the 23^rd of December we went to a Christmas cocktail party which is held every year on the same verandah on which my parents met. We both noticed eachother before we were introduced. A few tasty glasses of punch later we were introduced and the rest is history

What has been your favourite date so far as a couple?  “Our 2^nd date was both of our favourite. I was living not far from Giants Castle, out in the sticks, at the time, and I went down to Durban to see my Gran and of course to meet up with Guy. He picked me up from my Gran’s and we went down to the Umhlanga promenade for a walk. We sat out on the pier and chatted for ages. It started to rain, but we didn’t want the moment to end so we walked along the promenade and kissed in the rain. This was a turning point for us. We realised how well we got on, how much we enjoyed eachothers company and that this was definitely something worth pursuing.”

What was the most memorable moment at your wedding?  “The most memorable moment in our wedding was committing our lives to each other. As we held hands and looked into each others eyes, the rest of the world did not exist or matter. Also having so many friends and family from near and far to share our day with us. (I also quite enjoyed that Rhodes beat Maritzburg Varsity in a sneaky boat race :) hee hee)

“We love spending time together, we love adventuring together. We appreciate each others kind and caring nature. We love the intellectual stimulation of each others company, and we love building each other up and the confidence we get from one another. We love everything about each other. We love that we have a similar outlook on life and that our relationship is simple, happy and uncomplicated.

“We are so excited about living our lives together and all of the adventures that we’re going to enjoy. We are so blessed to have a best friend to go through life’s ups and downs together with.”
