He is a big man, with an even bigger heart, also widely known as the beer pong champion in the group. He always tries to make people laugh and bring the good vibes, and would walk 1000 miles for his friends.

Kylan du ToitKylan du Toit
Maid of Honor
She is the polar opposite of the bride to be, who somehow managed to end up the Maid of Honor. A caring, big hearted and loving woman, but she would 100% save her cat before her husband in a house fire. She has a great sense of humor and a big love for some sarcasm. She is also the designated babysitter of the Bride to be.

Groomsman
He is an adventurous free spirit with a love for exploring the great outdoors and vibing with friends. Whether he's cruising with the windows down, sipping on a Brandy, or firing up the braai with a side of green salad, he's always down for a good time. When he's not chasing sunsets or hanging with his furry mates, you can find him chilling in his own bubble – but don't be fooled, he's a non-stop whirlwind of energy once you get to know him 😄

He has a deep love for a good braai, where laughter, stories, and great food come together. Grounded, loyal, and easygoing, he appreciates life’s meaningful moments and the people who make them special. He is especially happy to celebrate this special moment with Demi and Zander as they begin their journey together in marriage. Seeing their love grow brings him genuine joy, and he wishes them a lifetime of happiness, partnership, and shared adventures.

Keeper of secrets, drinker of spirits.

Reinette UysReinette Uys
Mother of the Bride
A proud mother of the bride. She is "Bok vir sport" and adventurous. She likes people around her and likes to entertain. If she's not out and about on a weekend, then she will be in the garden or as her husband (Nicky) says: "Behind her computer working". Her favourite vacation is going on a road trip and camping along the way. Quote: "Unfortunately, I am not on pension yet, thus time for road trips and camping is limited so I make the most of it as time allows." Very happy for the couple with their new journey together and could not have asked for a better future husband to take care of her daughter.
Nicky UysNicky Uys
MC
Husband of Reinette and proud stepdad to Demi. He worked 25 years at Santam as a heavy commercial assessor and has been on pension for a little while—though he is still doing a bit of assessment work here and there for extra income. His great love outside insurance is 4x4 and overlanding with his wife; they used to be bikers until their backs said otherwise. He is always down for a Jägermeister and believes it's the best medicine. He quoted: "It is a privilege and an honour to be part of the celebration....."😁
