Your partner should be your best friend

MARVIN Markco Govender, a machine operator at Clover SA, and Sedika Rampersadh, an administrative clerk with Dehal Incorporated, both from Durban, were married on July 8 at Omega Church in Merebank. HOW WE MET

We met at school through a mutual friend, who thought we would be perfect for each other, and she was so right. THE PROPOSAL & MARRIAGE

No shocking proposal was needed because, after 10 years of dating, we knew it was time to take the next step. We had a traditional wedding and had an amazing reception at Merebank Community Hall with 250 guests sharing our special day. WEDDING BLACK BOOK Les Belle Femmes. MB Tailors.

Juggling the guest list for our intimate wedding was our biggest challenge, considering it can make or break your budget. It’s a good idea to confirm your list before making any other decisions. VIEWS ON LOVE & MARRIAGE
