DUSHERN & LORETTA MOODLEY

Marriage ensures memorable adventures

DUSHERN Moodley, an electronics engineer of Ballito, and Loretta Moodley, a structural engineer of emkhomazi, were married at the Kendra Hall in Durban on January 7.

HOW WE MET

Loretta and I have been inseparable since we were introduced by a mutual friend. It was like finally finding your best friend.

THE PROPOSAL AND WEDDING

We had a traditional Tamil proposal. Loretta was happy with that, but I wanted to show her how special she was and planned a surprise, leaving clues for her to find me. She eventually found me at the top of the Michelangelo Hotel, overlooking the Joburg skyline. We had an intimate dinner before I popped the question. Our wedding was a traditional Tamil ceremony with 600 guests.

BIGGEST CHALLENGE

Planning a wedding in Durban while living in Joburg was challenging. We tried to make time to meet all the service providers to ensure every detail would be perfect.

VIEWS ON LOVE AND MARRIAGE
