Our love Story

Two questions, one love story.

What was your first impression?

"Growing up I always had a vision of my Prince and what he might be like, little did I know that he would come in the form of a bald man with wit and humor as sharp as a nail. From our first date Dyl has made me laugh till my belly hurts , from that first sip of coffee 5 years ago ,I’ve never looked back." - Jessica

"She spoke a lot!!! But I was hanging on every word though. She was so bubbly and full of energy and it was contagious. She had so many great stories and I just felt like I wanted to be a part of all of them!!" - Dylan

When did you know it was forever?

"It’s safe to say I come from a rather large and in charge family. I knew Dyl was the one when I left him to fend for himself at his first family function pretty early on in our relationship. I had fully expected him to have done a runner, yet there he was fully emerged in the family as if he had always belonged. I knew if he could survive the chaos, all while still treating me like absolute gold. I couldn’t wait to experience life by his side and be there for all the amazing things he will achieve along the way" - Jessica

"It was our first trip together. We went to Clarens, and were sat outside just talking and laughing and looking at the stars. We were talking about the ones we've lost like her Avó and Aunties. For me it was my Dad. We then said they were looking down on us and pointed at the sky, and at that exact moment a shooting star came across the sky where we were pointing. I know it sounds fake but it was such unreal timing. We both shared a tear, I knew than she was the one. Everyone up there seemed to agree as well" - Dylan

a note on gifts

Soon you will hear our wedding bell,

as friends and family wish us well.

 

Our household thoughts are not brand new,

we have twice the things we need for two.

Since we have our share of dishes and bedding, 

we're having instead a wishing well wedding.

A gift of money is placed in the well,

then make a special wish, but shhh do not tell.

Please don't feel obliged by our request,

as our day will be complete just having you as our guest.
