Our Love Story

where it all began

Jane and John walking together
2019

A chance hello

A borrowed umbrella on a rainy Harare afternoon turned into coffee, then dinner, then a thousand conversations.

Dancing through life

Salsa classes, road trips to Nyanga and a shared love of terrible karaoke — we became each other's favourite person.

The question

At sunset by the lake, John dropped to one knee. Jane said yes before he finished the sentence.

Forever begins

Two families, one celebration. We can't wait to begin our forever surrounded by the people we love.

“Love is patient, love is kind… it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”1 Corinthians 13:4–7
