Our story began in 2018 at a party at Jordan’s parents’ house. If we’re being completely honest, I was far more interested in spending time with his parents than I was in mingling with everyone else. Somewhere between the laughs, the drinks, and me accidentally becoming their favourite person there, Jordan managed to get my attention too.

In 2019, life took us to opposite sides of the world. Jordan headed to America, while I moved to England. Despite the distance we spoke every single day (Much to Jordan’s horror). Time zones became a minor inconvenience, and somehow our connection only grew stronger. Apparently, absence really does make the heart grow fonder.

Later that year, Jordan came to England in December 2019 for what was supposed to be a holiday. Then Covid-19 happened, and his “short trip” quickly turned into a ten-month stay. If there’s one unexpected silver lining to come from such a difficult time, it’s that lockdown gave us the chance to truly build a life together. Four months after restrictions lifted, what had started as an extended holiday became permanent, and Jordan officially made England home.

Like every couple, we’ve faced our fair share of challenges over the years. But through it all, our relationship has always felt incredibly  easy. We’ve navigated every twist and turn as a team, and no matter what life has thrown at us, we’ve never doubted that we were exactly where we were meant to be.

Plettenberg Bay has always held a special place in our hearts. It’s been the backdrop to countless family holidays, unforgettable memories, and more beach walks than we can count. It became even more special on the 8th of March 2024, when Jordan proposed to me on Robberg. Thankfully I said yes, otherwise this would be a very awkward gathering.

Now, we can’t imagine a more perfect place to celebrate the next chapter of our story as we get married in Plettenberg Bay on the 10th of April 2027, surrounded by the people who have supported, encouraged, and loved us along the way.

From the very beginning, our life together has been one incredible adventure. We’ve laughed endlessly, crossed continents, survived lockdown together and worked alongside each other. 

If our journey has taught us anything, it’s that the best adventures are rarely the ones you plan. They’re the ones you take together.

Thank you for being here to celebrate this moment with us. We can’t wait to dance, laugh, make more unforgettable memories, and start this next chapter surrounded by the people we love most.
