Where and how did you meet? Nkule joined my primary school in Grade 4, although at that time we barely spoke to each other. We later crossed paths at a touch rugby match when we were in high school, and we have never looked back since.

How did he propose? The traditional way; he paid lobola.

Please provide a short description of your wedding day? After several rainy weekends, the weather on our wedding day was sublime. The clear blue KwaZula-Natal Midlands skyline made a beautiful backdrop. Our ceremony was officiated by our pastor, a genuine and thoughtful person, and the day was filled with laughter, music, dancing and a flurry of emotions.

If you could change one thing about your wedding day, what would it be? Nothing! We had a blast. All the behind-the-scenes drama just added to the experience. It will be a great story to tell our children one day.

What was the highlight of your day?

Nkule: Seeing Anele as she walked down the aisle.

Anele: Nkule’s heartfelt and entertaining speech. I was very touched when he mentioned family members who had recently passed away. Thankfully, our photographer, Heather, captured these special moments.

How did it feel to finally stand next to each other as husband and wife? We went through a whirlwind of emotions: Grateful that the moment had eventually arrived. Relieved that all our plans and dreams were finally being realised. It truly felt surreal that after all these years we had come full circle.

Where did you go on honeymoon? Cape Town.

What advice would you give to a bride-to-be? Your journey won’t be the same as everyone else. Do what works for you!
