When Jo and Gert first met online, Jo was impressed by Gert’s well constructed sentences. Gert thought Jo was a hottie. After meeting up in real life, they decided that there was potential in this new connection. The more time they spent together, the surer they became.
The couple planned their spring wedding at The Lighthouse
Restaurant at Cleveland. The brief for their ceremony was: casual, enjoyable,
and not tedious. We managed to include the story of the couple’s meeting, and
some of the funny incidents along their journey. There were plenty of
references to the couple’s favourite pastime of enjoying Sunday afternoon Braai
with cold beverages. And there were more than a few funny lines which delighted
the guests, and had the couple laughing through the ceremony as they surprised
each other with quips.
The ceremony styling was coastal, with the couple choosing the bamboo arbour with seaside décor and the colour blue. Although the skies were overcast, the rain stayed away, and the winds dropped serendipitously just as the ceremony was about to begin.
This was such a relaxed and light ceremony, perfectly
reflecting this light hearted second time around couple.
