Our Friendship
I met Kele while working in a consulting firm. She is an irresistable energy, with a crazy sense of humour and zest for life. Over the years we have travelled the world together, built businesses and shared many wonderful personal milestones.
What I love about her is her fierceness: in the way she loves, commits in all aspects of her life and stands by you as a friend and sister.
What you will love about her is that she is sure to get you onto the dance floor at the wedding, making the event memorable with her infectious passion!

Wedding Role: uSisi weCatering
Does the things that make for the pots to be there. Oversees the cullinary experience.
Our Friendship
Met in my first year of work, at a consulting firm. She struck me back then…with her urban socialization and confidence to easily command her space in this global firm….different to the somewhat conservative EC born and bred girl.
What I love about her is her deep connection and care for the African agenda. She has been a great teacher to me, exposing me to literature and experiences that have spurred me on my own journey into self-discovery.
What you will love about her infectious laugh. Tumi manages to keep a light-heartedness about life…that always helps you to see the bright side of any situation.

Wedding Role: uSisi weOrganisation
Key liaison with wedding planning team to ensure the production is seamless & excellent.
Our Friendship
I found her quite an enigma, even to this day…oddly so as we have built and maintained a very close friendship, over almost 20 years..The accuracy and inaccuracy of my Seshotho/Sepedi command is partially owed to her.
What I love about her is sense her of purpose: in her family, her work and everything she touches. She is a lady and loyal friend and one of the most resilient people I know. I am also eternally gratefull for all the times that she gathered us as friends, post a night of “celebration” – and led us to productivity the next day….oh to be young.
What you will love about her…you will not see it…. or know it… but know – how the day will run, will be thanks to her …operating in the background.

Wedding Role: Style Icon and Fashion Consultant
Our style icon and fashion consultant to the families. Ensures everyone remains presentable during the wedding.
Our Friendship
Met first year in University. My goodness was she full of life…making sure we didn’t miss out on any campus actvitities. Ever stylish and generous enough to lend us her clothes…
What I love about her is her committment to family – being a real example and teacher. I love that she is ever evolving and growing and being the best version of herself, at the different stages of life…whilst making it all look so easy and stylish.
What you will love about her, is that she is an absolute sweetheart. You’ll find her very easy to hang with and dare I say, also quite the dancefloor enthusiast.

Wedding Role: The Gel
The glue and the connector. Keeps the bridal party on track and in check through the process.
Our Friendship
Met whilst working in a multi-geography, Emerging Markets team. We found each other and connected immediately and easily connected in a light hearted and deep level all at the same time.
What I love about her is her carefree spirit. Truly liberated! Comfortable in her skin, in her life choices and the pace of life. She loves deeply and is very authentic. She has a very special place in my heart, as the person who brought me to my soon to be husband.
What you will love about her is that you will party really hard with her through all the celebrations. “Kuzoba Lit”

Makes sure all content is prepared on time and delivered with excellence
Our Friendship
Met her through a friend, over what was meant to be a day visit to my humble abode, that lasted the whole weekend, seeing this new friend only emerge on a Sunday. Such was the connection with this dear friend of mine.
What I love about her is her depth and how she lives and experiences this life with the highest level of consciousness. She is curious…sharing this curiousity with me and opening my mind and world views.
What you will love about her is that …you will probably leave the wedding having made a new friend.
