Maid of Honour
LARISSA Du PREEZ
Maid of Honour
Meet Larissa Du Preez. My younger Sista from anotha Mista. I don't know how it happened, but me and this one just clicked. She's my straight to the point girly, whose energy I just love. She's my "let chill" and vino the night away, or my, let's hit the city and "wreck shop," with hopes of remembering it the next day, girly. Either way.. we are who we are when we're with one another. Wow, have we had some times!! Thank you for making being here in France a lot easier! Lastly, thank you for standing beside me as my
Maid of Honour!
Bridesmaids
JACKIE STRYDOM
Bridesmaid
Meet Jackie Strydom. My Dear!! What can I say!? She is a sweetheart of a woman. I've absolutely adored her from the first time we met. Only grew to love her more as time went on. Her spirit and her energy are so refreshing to be around. I have loved her positive outlook on life and how she puts that positivity into anything she's doing. We've shared some good times over the years and they've been incredible. I miss them now that she's so far away! From an amazing chef to an amazing person, that's Jax!! Thank you for the smiles and the laughter. I so appreciate her agreeing to stand beside me on our big day! I love you bunches for being Just who you are!
JO MUTTON
Bridesmaid
Meet Jo Mutton.. Weirdly enough, I feel like we're each other's "Spirit Animal." Lol. I know she gets that. Our similarities as strangers meant it was inevitable that we'd be friends. There's a freedom about her that I see in myself and I think the feeling is mutual. Her desire for solo travel, exploration, self discovery.. Where she feels the world is at her fingertips, this is so me, too. To the desire for speed at her feet!! Vroom vroom! We meet in that space and those are just some of the reasons I adore her. From quiet talks to stomach hurting laughter!! I love her energy. She has an infectious laugh and equally infectious smile. Thank you, sweetie, for agreeing to stand beside me on our special day.
AVA BURR
Bridesmaid
Meet Miss Ava Burr. Sweet little Angel. Can I tell you how much I adore this little one? Her soft nature. Her caring spirit, and her beautiful soul. I've been blessed the past 9 years to see her blossom into an incredibly beautiful young woman. I always wanted a daughter, and while that didn't happen for me, I've been lucky enough to experience what it's like to love one in her. From our early days of fashion shows, to pie to face games. From serious talks, to raccoon eyes and "Jeff/bob" (Inside joke) I loved the laughter! I thank her for being the beautiful person she is. Thank you for agreeing to stand beside me and your father on our special day.

Best Man
JEAN Du PREEZ
Best Man
Known in the industry as "The Legend" (according to him) Jean and I have forged a long lasting friendship of over a decade. We've experienced a lot of fun memories from around the world, navigating the seas. It makes sense that after standing beside me as my 1st officer, that he stands beside me as one of my best men on my wedding day.
CARLOUX Du PREEZ
Best Man
Are we seeing double? Carloux and I share a warped sense of humour. He has an infectious laugh and is always ready to party. He'll be one of the 1st ones on the dance floor after a few drinks.
Ushers
MATHEW BUCKLAND
Usher
Named the "Silver Fox" or "The Badger," but, he is far from being a nocturnal animal, and carrying tuberculosis. He has the ability to fall asleep at most events, regardless of surroundings. Matt and I have spent countless hours cycling together for charity, and he's a handy man to have around if there's something wrong with your yacht. An all around stand up guy that I appreciate standing beside me for my big day.
ADARIUS REYNER
My Son - Usher
This talented musician and human skyscraper. The oldest of Karen's 2 boys. He has the charm and dance floor moves to amuse most from hundreds of meters away. He is someone you really have to look up to, cause there's no choice, unless he's sitting down.
AMARION REYNER
My Son - Usher
The "Quiet giant." Karen's youngest. He's an online gamer and gifted poker player. He may not do much talking, but you hear him when he speaks. He's currently The single ladies man, looking for The lovely ladies.
CALUM BURR
My Son - Usher
My 13 year old gentle soul, my son. He's my polite, handsome, and sometimes cheeky, little man. Calum loves anything sporty and anything fast... and has the skills to excel at it all! He's a hit with the girls, but then what can you expect, look at him!
ADAM MARSH
Usher
Adam is a highly skilled carpenter by trade who never has a tape measure, and when he does, can never read it due to having no glasses. He is a self proclaimed, professional sailor, during the summer months onboard the finely tuned race boat Halloween.
