We're getting married!

In a town full of vineyards and oaks standing tall, Where students drank wine and wrote essays (or stalled), At Stellenbosch Uni, with sunshine and flair, Two hearts wandered closely—completely unaware. There was Nicholas, with hair in a bun, The only oke rocking it, thinking, “I’ve won.” They called him Man Bun Nick—rugby star, laid-back cool, With bruises from tackles and jokes after school. Then came Kayla, all sparkle and sass, With wild horsey dreams and a love for a laugh. But give her some wine and a slippery floor, And down she would glide, then laugh even more. That’s how she earned (not quite by choice): The nickname immortal—Bambi on Ice. They both drank coffee at the Neelsie each day, They jolled hard at De Lapa in true Matie way. They skipped the odd lecture (with zero regret), But fate wasn’t ready to let their paths set. So off they both went to the Jozi sprawl, Where the taxis don’t stop and the pigeons are tall. And as Maties all do, they found their own crew, With Brandy and Coke and Summertime too. They were friends at first—tight-knit and true, With weekend braais and midweek stews. But then came a party (whose birthday? Who knows?) And something just shifted—a spark, we suppose. Did music swell softly? Did time slow its race? Did Kayla trip twice, still saving face? (Probably yes.) But from that fateful night, Things just felt different. Things felt quite right. What started as banter turned quickly to more, To long chats, sweet glances, and walks to the door. Casual Fridays got a romantic twist, And hands that once hovered… no longer missed. Two years in shared chaos with digs full of friends, Then came the big move (and fewer loose ends). Now they share space with two furry delights: Alba the queen and Pep’s zoomie flights. Oh—Kayla’s still horse-mad, that much is clear, She’s happiest in boots with a horse near. Nick’s still the chill one, with dad jokes galore, But he’s got her heart—and a little bit more. So now you are summoned, dear family and friends, To witness the moment where this story bends. From man bun and Bambi to husband and wife— They’re sealing the deal and starting their life. They’ve penned their story with laughter and cheer, Now they invite you to gather near— To dance, to toast, and share in the view… Because Nick and Kayla are saying, “I do!”
