The ceremony will take place indoors & the reception outdoors. Don't worry, we'll have plenty of shade, shelter and good vibes.
We love you and wish we could celebrate with everyone, but due to space and logistics, we’re keeping our guest list intimate — we kindly ask that invitations are for the names addressed only.
Kry vir jou 'n babysitter!! Jou kinders gaan jou pla, los hulle by jou ma ;) In Layman's terms, our wedding will be a grown-ups-only gathering, so we kindly ask that children not attend. We appreciate your understanding!

We found our hearts where the gravel road starts — in the wild stillness of Namibia, where the sunsets set the sky on fire and the stars don’t bother with city lights. Bushwhacked Orange River has been part of Venus’ life since childhood, a place stitched into her story long before our paths crossed. When Jean-Pierre first stood beside that same river, he fell for its quiet magic — and maybe a little harder for her too. So we chose to marry here, where the desert meets the water, and where our love feels most at home.
