TieTheKnot CapeTown & Overberg
Helene and Stuart Houston celebrated their I DO's Helene and Stuart Houston celebrated their I DO's on 19 September 2020 at the beautiful little Chapel at The Range, in Tokai. Here is their reflection on their Tie The Knot Cape Town experience... "A great many of our guests have come up to us after our ceremony, and the days that followed, expressing their sheer awe at the absolute uniqueness of our wedding, the words spoken, and the messages imparted via Symi's beautiful subtlety. The words were just so us, belonging to us, and part of us in a way that I don't think anybody else would have been able to grasp, much less pull off. Symi and Ava, thank you for your hard work, your unfailing support, the many many voice notes (lol), and the creation of a day that for us that was simply so amazingly incomparable and which will long live on in everyone's memories.

"....when we meet someone, they can tell us about where they were, and what they did, and the lessons they learned. But they can’t tell us whom they will become, because they don’t know yet. As a husband, and as a wife, you’re not only the only person with a ring side seat, you’re arguably the greatest influence in who your spouse will become over the years. This adventure is interactive. This journey you’re undertaking is one where you not only share the light you shine for your own path, with your spouse, but you share the padkos, you share the road map, and you share the flat tyres, and sometimes when you thought you’d be the driver, you realize that you’ve been the pillion rider for some time already. Because this person is more than your greatest cheerleader, and influence, This person is the brain to your pinky, This person is the rubber ducky to your bathwater, This person is your partner in crime, Your rock. And the one who teaches you to speak about the feelings that are really too big to put into words, The one whose path is aligned with your own. They allow you to be the very best version of yourself, by simply not accepting anything other than what they know, is your truth..." Symi
#lockdownwedding - Behind the scenes 2 Finaly Rua #lockdownwedding - Behind the scenes 2 Finaly Ruan and Tanique's big day arrived! 19 September 2020 Intimate, fabulous and one of a kind "Love each other, irrevocably, and without terms and conditions. It’s a simple statement, but once you’ve lived with it for a couple of decades, it becomes quite a novel. Because the love that is required in a marriage, isn’t a love you can do all by yourself. Neither of you can love the other enough for the both of you. It only works if you are both in on the agreement, 100%, with no fine print. This love is a dance, like a tango, where you are balanced on the strength of your partner, their momentum, and their grace. This love is an eternal quest to seek the magic in each other, to find the little thing in your spouse that makes you the very happiest today, that inspires you to be the best you can be, that drives you to get through the impossible situations in your day, and releases you back home at the end of the day with heart that yearns for each other. This love is a no pain, no gain love, that takes on the sweat and tears and grief with the same strength and presence as the victories and applause."...
