Rumi says: i am the ocean and its turbulent flood

Rumi says:
i am the ocean and its turbulent flood.
come merge with me,
leave this world of ignorance.
be with me,,
i will open the gate to your love.

To marry your best friend,
Means that you open a whole new gate to each other’s love.
Even if you have been together for 4 years!

From today,
You merge with one another – not to lose yourself, but to be with each other in a more meaningful, more intimate way.
And to get a whole new kind of wisdom.
There is a depth to living, and loving as a married couple that you simply don’t experience as a single person.

"She said I DO!" 1 Jan 2021 Nuschka and Liezl mad

"She said I DO!"

1 Jan 2021 Nuschka and Liezl made their forever promises to each other.

"Van vandag af.
Wanneer jy droom, en dink, en beplan, en instigeer, en uitreik –
Doen dit as gesant van jou vrou –
Stap die wereld in met haar hande om jou hart,
En haar genade om jou gedraai soos ‘n jassie,

Vlieg die vaandel van haar onverskrokke geloof in jou om skaduwee te bied teen die son,
Skuiling te gee teen die wind, ‘n handvatseltjie vir die tas van jou begeertes en aspirasies wat jou help om niks neer te sit wat jy eintlik wou saamdra nie. Onthou vir wie jy leef"

"She said I DO!" 1 Jan 2021 Nuschka and Liezl mad

"She said I DO!"

1 Jan 2021 Nuschka and Liezl made their forever promises to each other at their home.

"Van vandag af.
Wanneer jy die mooi in die wereld soek, en plesier put uit die skoonheid goggas en kaapse berge en wanneer jy jou hand op jou vrou se heup laat rus, en diep in haar oe kyk, doen dit openlik - in die werklikheid, en sonder filters en bedeesdheid. Elke handeling van genot en liefde is ‘n blyk van lof vir mekaar. Aanbid mekaar, bewonder mekaar, troetel mekaar. Onthou vir wie jy leef.

Want jou waarheid slyp die werklikheid. En alles wat jy dag na dag leef, en opmerk, en koester, word deel van die legende wat julle saam skep. Jy bou wat jy glo. Bou ‘n werklikheid waar julle onbevrees, en onbedeesd mekaar s’n is."

2020 Wedding memories 6

As 2020 draws to a close, we want to thank all the beautiful couples who tied the knot with us this year.

Not even Covid-19 and Lockdown was strong enough to dash wedding dreams as families and friends rallied around couples, keeping calm, encouraging and turning a crazy time of uncertainty, into a love filled celebration.

Time tables and schedules moved around, guestlists were reworked into smaller allowed numbers. Elopements became virtual weddings with guests not flying in, but ZOOMing in to attend love celebrations.

To all our couples, Newlyweds and our soon-to-be-marriedz... we want to say Thank you for trusting us with your beautiful day.

We wish all our wonderfull lovebirds a beautiful festive time

Live in gratitude every day, and find miracles in the smallest of things, they are all around you.

See people for WHO they are, and not for the 'label' they wear ~ cultivate tolerance, it's good for you.

Grow in your heart and your spirit, and walk in peace on this earth, caring for her bounty with diligence, and commitment ~ Take action ~ ALL life is sacred

Find the time ~ spend a day listening to the stories of your elders, harking their words and listening to their wisdom, for they have lived, and they, along with their words, have value.

Be filled with the amazement of a child discovering the wonders of its environment for the first time~ we are all still children deep inside.

Re-look at the things you take for granted, think on it, realize how blessed you are, and live in gratitude.

Manifest your dreams, live your day to it's spectacular fullness... the obstacles in your way are there for a reason ~ learn the lesson and heed the warnings.

Be well, be loved, be healthy, and be blessed
Ava, Symi and Bu

"‘n Huwelik is ‘n stewige, soliede soort van ‘n dik boom pot, want geen roes of ouderdom gaan dit laat verweer nie. Inteendeel, wanneer ‘n mens terugkyk oor dekades van getroud wees, is jy meer gek oor mekaar in dekade drie, as wat jy ooit was in dekade twee. Mens raak mekaar se gunsteling pot. Dis belangrik, want die ontdekkingstog van nuwe smake en resepte word ‘n gemaklike bredie van lekker herinneringe, saam lag, saam speel en saam langs die strand stap."

"You’re getting into a lifetime of belonging with one another.
You’re getting into a lifetime of being each other’s place of mercy, and love, and kindness.
And you’re getting into a lifetime of being each other’s inspiration...
... Everything you create in a lifetime, makes sense to you through the eyes of the one person who puts your own happiness above their own, who inspires you and enthuses you to put their happiness above yours, and who shows up for you, every day in ways you don’t even always notice....
... So my message to you today?
To start with putting each other’s happiness first.
To keep on showing up for one another on airports, in emails, over Christmas – and to never stop.

Start with celebrating one another, and by inspiring one another, by expecting one another to live a life of significance, and impact.

End every day with being each other’s home, each other’s mercy, and each other’s place of belonging where nobody counts.... "

"...from today, it is your solemn duty to fill your wife, and your husband’s life, their every day with bothering. Don’t whisper. That’s way too well behaved. Nobody ever married a cat or a ocean fish. When we truly love, we love with the honesty, and the awe of a puppy.

Protect that puppy love in one another at all costs.

Watch Disney Movies and Watch Perfume. Together.
Cook together, and laugh together, and raise your son together.
Sometimes, sneak away and be a couple together again.
It’s important.
Watch the excitement of sweet fruit, the frustration of sticky peanut butter as you make your way through life’s challenges, and sometimes, share that soggy potato chip.
Snuggle together and teach each other bad habits.
When you are quiet together, be as still as the night sky, and together be endless, boundless and untamed.
When you are loud together, do so with abandon, and if the neighbours complain, even better.

Give each other flavoured kisses at least once every so often, so for a few hours you lose all sense of smell and all connection with the world out there.

Immerse yourselves in one another.

There is no such thing as too much of one another...." Symi

"...Mercy is the magic potion of a relationship.

It’s important, because even though you need a sense of humour, and you need to keep on dancing for fun, mercy makes you see the wonder in every moment – even when the moment isn’t perfect.

Choose to be merciful to one another, even if you have to remind him to do something for you, or even if you have to ask again for someone to hear your advice. Remember that in that moment, of being merciful, you are reminding each other that WHO you are for me, is more important than WHAT you do for me.

The magic potion of mercy is something you should keep in your pantry.
Never run out.

Choose to be merciful when you start to walk slower, and when you have more jokes to remember so you take a bit longer to explain them to each other, and when you forget a little easier, because you’re running out of memory.

Choose to be merciful when some of the cards in the pack are a bit bent, and you can recognize the story before it’s being told, and be merciful when not all the pieces of the set of the boardgame are in the same box anymore.

Because in that imperfection lies the greatest love, the greatest beauty, and the greatest peace of all..." ..Symi

" ....there’s luxury, and extravagance, and indulgence in being content together.

There’s joy in being the one who bears arms but who finds rest and safety in your husband.

There’s contentment in being vulnerable in your wife’s hug, and allowing her to support you." Marriage officer Symi

.." it"s not the moments of perceived extravagance that makes life worth living.

That it’s not the wind in your hair, or the spray of the ocean in your face, but the way that you look at each other, tell each other about it, share the moment, that makes it luxurious.

That it’s not the moment of reaching your business success goals, but the exhilaration of being all in, pensions cashed in, policies paid out, and moving across the country, that makes you feel like you’ve accomplished greatness.

That it’s not the upgrade from Fatti’s & Moni’s to imported pasta that makes the meal worth your time, but it’s in sharing, and laughing, and being together.

It’s the every day things that signify the quality of your experience.... " Marriage officer Symi
