Gabi & Andre said their vows at the picturesque Casablanca Manor Wedding Venue in the Valley of the Eastern Magaliesberg range. It was a beautiful rainy day. Gabi looked amazing in her beautiful gown fit for a princess and along with their wedding theme being elegant with touches of pink and grey, it truly was a fairytale day.
“You can almost say it was an arranged marriage. For many years both sets of parents had tried to set us up as they thought we were perfect for each other and one night they succeeded. We spent the whole night until the next morning talking and getting to know each other and from that moment on we were inseparable!”
GABI VAN DER MERWE
“Andre took me away for a romantic weekend in the bushveld. We had just finished unpacking and sat down on the patio to take in the surroundings when Andre was next to me on one knee, declaring his love and asking me to be his wife… Of course I said ‘YES!’ It was perfect!”
GABI VAN DER MERWE
“My favourite part of the wedding day was when the minister declared us husband and wife and we had our first kiss!!”
GABI VAN DER MERWE
“My favourite parts was when I saw my beautiful bride walking down the aisle and of course when she said ‘I do’, making us officially husband and wife.”
ANDRE VAN DER MERWE
“Take a moment to embrace the moment with your husband/wife… The day really goes quickly.”
