How did your love story begin?

 

Chevaar and I met during our first year of college at UKZN. He then asked me out on an ice-cream date. I guess it all began then!

Tell us all about the proposal.

 

Our proposal was on June 25th 2016. All our family and friends were there to join us in that magical moment and the beginning of something special. Chevaar went down on one knee and asked 'Will you marry me?' I said Yes!

Magical Moments

 

My wedding day was the most special day in my life thus far. It started with our photoshoot at Durban Botanical Gardens. It was so much of fun! We then proceeded to our wedding venue at Kendra Hall and were exploded with so much of love.
