OUR CELEBRATIONS
Edwin + Khanyi
We hope you enjoyed our Umhlambiso ceremony on 27 April 2019 and now we’d like to invite you to join us in celebrating our marriage ceremony on 23 August 2019!
Technically, you should already know a little something about us which is why you received an invite but assuming you don’t…. here is a brief description of who Edwin and Khanyi are…
We’re a couple who are big on family and love. We appreciate and celebrate the small things in life and understand that all things are truly possible through God and a relentless belief in one’s self.
We are thankful to have people like you in our lives and it would be a great pleasure for us to celebrate the milestones of our lives, together with the people who have played a role in making us who we are today.
May you please join us in celebrating our love for each other as well as the joining of two families, two cultures and two nations under the union of marriage!
Ed and Khanyi meet at a mutual friend’s birthday party which, unknowingly to them, had doubled up as a blind date organized by their friends.
Ed, having just arrived back home from working in the U.K. was not
looking for love just so soon. Khanyi, on the other hand, was on her ‘independent woman’ aka ‘Being Mary Jane’ year and hence love had become a controversial dissertation topic for her...
but alas, after
the both of them met…cupid, their friends and ultimately God would have other plans for them.
After several charming dates and non-stop chatting, the pair could no longer deny the connection and begin dating. The first kiss follows shortly thereafter…
The couple take their first trip together to Ed’s motherland, Kenya, for “holiday”. Having not seen each other for a few years, Ed’s family is overjoyed that Ed has finally grown up and brought home a loving, fun, beautiful
and potential (soon to be) bride. Well played Ed!
Ed and Khanyi tour Nyeri and Nairobi before ending the 2017 year on Diani Beach in Mombasa, Kenya.
Ed surprises Khanyi with a birthday gift which includes a planned trip to Paris, France to watch her all time tennis hero and then fictional husband Rafael Nadal in the 2018 French Open.
Little does she know that Ed has further plans during their trip. Rafael won’t stand a chance against this brazen Kenyan…
After enjoying the French Open and sightseeing in Paris, Khanyi thinks her highlights are over. Next stop is Venice, Italy where Ed has one more surprise looming.
On 12 June 2018, with the blessings of family and planning with friends, Ed wins Khanyi’s heart in straight sets when he proposes outside a church on San Giorgio Island in Venice.
She never espededit…Game,Set, Match made in heaven.
Wedding planning stress soon follows…
Ed and Khanyi celebrate the joining of two families and cultures in a traditional Umhlambiso ceremony in Leondale Johannesburg

The Wedding ceremony will begin promptly at 15h00 and guests are encouraged to arrive between 14h00 and 14h30 in order to mingle, take pictures, receive welcome drinks and be seated in good time for the ceremony.
After the Wedding ceremony, the reception will take place at the same venue which will include an early dinner, speeches and of course, further celebrations of the union.
Both the Wedding ceremony and the reception will take place at Memoire Wedding and Function Venue in Muldersdrift, Johannesburg (<strong>map below</strong>).

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
Unfortunately, by having a small flat, space has proved to be very limiting for us. Whilst we would appreciate the traditional gift registry in the form of cutlery, crockery, appliances etc, we fear we would not have anywhere to put them.
