Once upon a time to happily ever after.

Our Love Story From a land that once felt far away, Emiel journeyed through toll gates and winding highways — not just in distance, but in hope — to find the love of his life. Little did he know, that love came wrapped up in big brown eyes, a wild laugh, a soft heart, lots of punch buggies, and a tendency to get a little bit lost. On one of their very first dates, Cass almost took him all the way to Brits, simply because that was the only highway she really knew. But somehow, amidst the misdirection and detours, true love found its way. Emiel, an adventurous and hopeless romantic, has treated Cass like a princess from day one. Whether it’s surprise flowers, thoughtful gestures, or showing up even when it’s inconvenient, he’s been her biggest encourager, her true best friend, and has always been her safe place. Together, their days are full of joy and just the right amount of chaos: Game nights, where 30 Seconds gets loud, competitive, and filled with some questionable explanations and the winner is anyone who’s still standing from laughing too hard. Car singalongs, with windows down and hearts wide open. And that one magical moment, a kiss in the rain, where time stood still, and the whole world faded away. A true fairytale moment. (And yes, we promise it really happened. We're not just trying to sound romantic. And to our moms — no, we didn’t get sick afterwards.) And then there’s Taylor Swift. Yes, Emiel became a Swiftie, not because he had to, but because he wanted to (kinda). He’s belted out her lyrics with Cass like a true fan, sat beside her for three full hours in a cinema full of screaming girls watching the Eras Tour film (we’re still not sure he’s recovered), and now knows more Taylor lyrics than he ever thought he would. Because when you love someone, their joys become yours too. But beyond the giggles, the chaos, and the romance, there’s something deeper. It’s what makes this love story more than just romance. It’s what has always stood at the centre of their love: God. From the very beginning, even before they knew each other’s names — God was already at work. Writing their story with purpose, aligning their paths with divine timing, and planting love in their hearts that reflects His own. Their relationship has never been just about butterflies or perfect fairytale moments, but about grace in the everyday, prayer through the uncertain, and joy rooted in something far greater than themselves. They’ve laughed together, cried together, worshipped together and most importantly, grown together in their faith. God has been their anchor in the highs, their comfort in the lows, and their constant in every season in between. They believe their love is a testimony, a glimpse of heaven’s goodness on earth, a daily reminder of how deeply they are known and loved by the One who brought them together. This isn’t just a wedding. It’s the beginning of a covenant, one built not just on promises to each other, but on the unshakable foundation of Christ. So, with hearts full of awe, surrounded by love, and led by faith, they’re inviting you to join them as they take the next step on this incredible journey — not just as Mr. and Mrs., but as a team, and a living picture of God’s faithfulness. Expect laughter, tears of joy, and maybe a few questionable dance moves (we’re still working on that part). But whether you’re coming for the love, the dance floor, or just the cake, Cass and Emiel promise a day full of unforgettable memories. Stay tuned for more details and get ready to celebrate big because when these two say “I do,” it’s going to be one for the ages.
