Couple: Mikal & Marnu

Venue: Destination Wedding at Gourtiz

A tale of tears & champagne

Whilst driving back from filming this wedding, I remember thinking back to our first conversation we had with Mikal and Marnu. 

From the get-go they were so intentional about every little detail; and throughout the whole wedding day you could see the effort they put into celebrating the day. On their wedding day itself, the smallest things made them so excited, like putting their rings on for the first time! Somewhere in an unused audio clip, someone said this as they heard from far away how the bridesmaids reacted to seeing Mikal; “Wow that sounds rough! It’s just tears and champagne today”. I

 think it’s a perfect and accurate description for the beautiful day. Lots of emotion, but also so much celebration, together with all their family and loved ones! What a privilege to be able to film your day Mikal and Marnu! 

Enjoy their story! 

Tell us the story of how the two of you met:

We met through a friend, both of us denied that we experienced a spark for about 6 months. After a lot of thinking and spending time with each other I approach Marnu and told him “my friends keep on asking me what we are and I don’t know so what are we?” He laughed, kissed me and well that’s how our story starts. Not a massive meet-cute but after 5 years we are still (maybe even more) in love. 

What do you enjoy doing on weekends? :

Either chilling in our pjs, watch tv and drinking tea at home or getting dressed up and going to a new place in Cape Town or going to Atlantis dunes for some 4x4ing.

Tell us each your favorite characteristic of the other person:

Mikal: For me it’s Marnu’s ability to make any and everyone feel loved and that they belong. He has the best heart and makes everyone feel safe. Marnu: Mikal has the kindest most compassionate heart of anyone I have ever met. She sees the good in everyone and everything.
