We were married on Guy Fawkes, 5th November 2011 – the same date as both our maternal grandparents.

The venue we chose is Ottimo Cibo in Bishops Court, which is the perfect place for a small and intimate wedding. This venue is close to our hearts as the owners Nikki booth, who is a chef and her husband William booth, who married us, are friends of our family

The ceremony was held at the bottom of their beautiful garden with 55 family and friends sitting on white fleece blankets. Origami birds hung from the trees and guests blew bubbles as we walked back through the aisle!
Our guests literally sat wherever they wanted to – as the wedding was completely informal. We loved being able to mingle with everyone.

Nikki prepared all the beautifully presented cocktail style mini meals as well as gorgeous ” Mol (e) cake”. Each guest received a bottle of homemade lemon cello as a thank you gift – also made by Nikki – to which I added name-tags.

The Groom and male members of the wedding party wore baby pink socks to compliment the overall pink theme of the wedding

In the spirit of Guy Fawkes, we danced our first dance with magical sparklers lighting our way

It was a wonderful day made possible by many friends and family that gave so much of their time and effort to make the day memorable for us

Vanessa and Malick celebrated their wedding reception at the beautiful Devonvale Golf Estate in Stellenbosch on Sunday, 23 October 2011. Guests arrived after the nikah ceremony and enjoyed drinks, canapes and lawn games (boules and croquet) while the couple were off having their photographs taken (by the lovely Tiffany Burnham). Once the couple arrived- everyone was seated and friends and family offered speeches, readings, prayers and blessings for Malick and Vanessa. A festive buffet and decadent desserts were served after speeches and guests were asked to use the disposable cameras (on their tables) and photo-props (scattered throughout the room) to capture the excitement in the air. The ballroom, which was decorated in touches of silver and white, lots of sparkling fairy lights and orchids on each table created a soft and beautiful elegance that contributed to the magic of the night. Before guests left they were asked to join the newlyweds in lighting sky lanterns and setting them off into the beautiful night sky. The couple also treated their guests to surprise gifts as a thank-you – cigars for the guys and delicate fans for the ladies.”

From the bride:
Like every girl I had been planning my ‘perfect wedding’ my whole life. So, when my husband proposed to me, it only took me a few days to ‘present’ moodboards of what I wanted our wedding to be like. We both agreed that we wanted a non-traditional, relaxed, outdoor wedding. We decided that we didn’t want to leave our guests to do a couple’s photoshoot, so we did it in Newtown before the ceremony began. We had group photos on Harley Davidson motorbikes because my husband is completely obsessed with anything motorbike related.

The décor had to enhance our rustic and vintage theme so we used spray painted KOO tins, old bottles and antique tins as vases with lots of tea lights, fairy lights and lanterns. The welcome drinks were Coca-Cola and Fanta in glass bottles and we served canapés as a main course. To complement the theme, instead of having dessert, we decided to have a ‘sweets table’ that had sweets which brought about a sense of nostalgia and fond memories of our childhood. The table contained toffee apples, love sweets, Popeye sherbet, bracelet candy and lots more. The ‘open-mike speeches’ allowed anyone and everyone to say a little something, which also made it more relaxed, because there were no prepared speeches.

At one point in the evening, I stood outside and took a moment to reflect on the entire wedding and I realised it was exactly how I had planned it. We were surrounded by our nearest and dearest and everyone had a good time. Some of them still talk about how enjoyable it was to attend such a relaxed and unique wedding… and that’s exactly what I wanted!

From the bride:
Six years ago I met this gorgeous man when I worked for him as a waitress at his restaurant, while completing my studies. For the first two weeks Mark point blank refused to speak to me, as I supposedly left him speechless. Nevertheless after we eventually started conversing, he kept me laughing with his dry wit and sense of humour and we became close friends. Mark’s policy was to never date someone he worked with so after his partner fired me he got his chance and promptly asked me out. The rest, as they say is history.
Mark and I have always done things a little differently and the proposal, or should I say proposals, were no different. Mark proposed to me three times to which I responded: “Maybe”, “Ok”, and “Of course yes”
Both Mark and I wanted to create an intimate wedding celebration, where people could just have a lot of fun and enjoy themselves. We decided on a three day affair filled with delicious foods and lots of handmade touches. This led us straight into a DIY wedding. I initially started making paper flowers as I loved the concept of guests being able to take the flowers home with them, which meant they could look at them over and over again and remember a happy day. After that I started making other things out of paper so the paper theme just stuck.
My advice to any bride would be to just enjoy yourself as much as you can. All the people at your wedding are there because they love you and just revel in that love.
