Introduced by a mutual friend, Nosipho and Sakhile first met during a presentation at her place of work. It took sometime after their initial introduction before going on their first date, but once they did “the chemistry was biblical” as Sakhile recalls, “it took us a very short time to see value in each other. We were instant friends.” Their relationship was so natural it felt meant-to-be, and the more time they spent together the more they realized how in-line their individual perspectives on the future continued to be. It wasn’t long before Sakhile began planning their perfect proposal…

Expressing his desire to have her hand in marriage, Nosipho requested that Sakhile first acquire her father’s permission. Arranging a meeting later that month, her father provided his blessing over their union, and a few days after that Sakhile was setting the stage for their moment. Creating a romantic dinner at his place, Sakhile placed the engagement ring in a glass of champagne. Lifting their glasses for a toast, he shared the news of her father’s blessing for marriage. Hinting towards the glass, Nosipho looked down to find the ring shimmering within the bubbles. Their eyes locked and she answered with a heartfelt yes, knowing they were always meant to be.

Their gorgeous wedding, planned, designed and guided by Wedding Concepts, was stunningly sophisticated, bold and modern-luxurious in three colors of black, white and gold – that was as geometrically powerful as it was fluently elegant. With so much design customization and personalization the atmosphere felt like an editorial styled shoot come to life – inspiring all of their guests and setting the stage for a perfect and unforgettable event.

Snow white and every pearl hand-stitched to perfection, Nospiho’s “modern day angelic princess” dress was custom designed by renowned designer Gert Johan Coetzee. Form fitting and majestic, Nospiho was stunning, a fairytale come to life complete with a seven meter long veil – lighting up the aisle as she met her prince charming at the altar. Nospiho and Sakhile were joined forever together as husband surrounded by the love and support of family and friends.

Best Memories: Sakhile: “The adrenaline pumped anticipation moment while waiting for the bride and watching the grand reveal of the bride and her dress.” Nosipho: “I have two. My first is the moment when I first saw the wedding reception venue before the guests were ushered in. This moment was breathtaking thanks to our amazing planners & designers from Wedding Concepts. A memory engraved in my mind for life. My second is when we played our favourite gospel song by Travis Greene -Made a Way, just before we gave our vote of thanks speech. This was a divine moment celebrating God’s work.”
