Byron and Lizelle’s is the fairytale portrayal of a pleased-ever-following couple. They met whilst studying and made a decision to tie the knot soon after a number of years of scientific studies. The wedding took spot in the lovilee Western Cape and was a bright and cheery yellow affair.
How did you meet?
Our varsity hostels (Sonop Ladieshostel and Helshoogte Mens hostel) did rag with each other in 2006, when we were every in our extremely very first yr. Even even however Byron had my quantity for above a yr following that, we only genuinely interacted on a train journey to Potchefstroom following a sport journey. Right after three months, our friendship began altering and following his 21st birthday he asked me out whilst sitting on a modest wall on best of a mountain seeking out across Gordon’s Bay.
How did Byron pop the enormous question?
Byron brought a vibrant yellow baberton-daisy to my place of function and asked me on a date to celebrate the finish of our exams. I considered it unusual that he would come to my operate with a flower, but he explained that he was in the vicinity and wanted to spoil me somewhat quickly right after learning so difficult. He advisable a sushi restaurant – Beluga in Greenpoint, a restaurant that we regular.
Upon arrival we had been seated upstairs in the wine cellar, very romantic, but with a huge table next to us. I keep in thoughts commenting that there would probably be actually a bit of noise from the table need to have to the occupants arrive, but hoped that we would be accomplished by then. We ordered champagne to celebrate the ‘end of exams’. The next moment the waiter entered with an enormous bunch of yellow flowers and an envelope.
The envelope contained a photograph taken of us at a hostel dance three many years prior, he on his a single knee with a lengthy-stem baberton-daisy in hand (comparable to the one particular distinct he brought me earlier in the day). At the back of the photograph there was a lovilee message from him, soon soon after reading through it he went down one a single knee again and popped the query! Off-course I mentioned ‘yes’. Then, one particular a lot more shock: In came my mother and father, his mother and father, my sisters and some of our close friends… A pre-organized engagement celebration! The substantial table was for them and I was a lot far more than pleased for them to be as noisy as they wanted to be!
What was the really ideal component of arranging the wedding?
We actually loved looking for our venue – we needed to get married at a venue with lots of greenery and vines. We employed this as an excuse to check out a amount of wine farms and attended a selection of wine tastings. It is so fascinating to come to feel that every person you take pleasure in will be gathering beneath 1 distinct roof to celebrate the union of your really like and promise to each and every other.
Do you have any suggestions for brides-to-be?
I have two essential points: (one) do not fret more than factors that may nicely go wrong on the day. Your guests don’t actually know the details of how every thing is supposed to be and they potentially won’t realise these little things. Value each and each and every moment as the day will be more than in a blink of the eye! And (2) keep in mind to hydrate throughout the day and to consume, even if it is only snacking. One gets so carried away with every minor factor that you only realise the hunger and thirst that evening.
Did you have any DIY tasks?
We have been actually fortunate to have Izandi Serdyn as our wedding ceremony coordinator. She was brilliant and genuinely pulled almost everything collectively fully. My sister (Trudi Turner) typically tends to make cakes, cupcakes and cookies for weddings and birthdays and assisted with the wedding ceremony cookies and desserts.
What is Byron’s strengths?
Byron is the perfect instance of a “mens-mens” – he effortlessly interacts, is not biased, really loyal, down-to-earth, reliable and talks the hind-leg off a donkey!
He is also an absolute gentleman, he will consistently ensure that I am comfortable, make certain that I am warm and deliver me 1 point to drink at residence or away. He will also quite simply give a stranger assist when seeing them undertaking hefty lifting.
What elements of Lizelle do you enjoy?
The very first time I truly “saw” Lizelle was on the train to Potch. She stood on the platform, whilst I was at the moment seated inside. She turned and looked in my route and I was right away captivated by her substantial blue eyes. These Eyes even now make my heart skip a beat!
What do you come to feel is the recipe for a profitable marriage?
Communication, respect and adore.
