We first met as teenagers in 2010, just 15 and 17 at the time. Something sparked, and the very next morning Ray messaged Chanel\u2026 but no reply!<\/p>\n
(Oops.)<\/p>\n
Seven years later, in 2017, we reconnected over coffee and from that moment, our story truly began. Since then, we\u2019ve grown, not only as individuals but together, navigating life\u2019s highs and lows, always with love, laughter, and faith guiding us.<\/p>\n

Charlie and Honey, our fur babies, have brought us endless comfort, joy, and companionship. From playful walkies to quiet cuddle sessions, they\u2019ve been a constant reminder of unconditional love in our journey together. In 2023, we started a brand new chapter in Cape Town. It\u2019s here that we found ourselves deeply rooted in a church community that has loved, challenged, and poured into us in ways we never expected. Guided by the truth we\u2019ve received and the people who\u2019ve walked alongside us, we\u2019ve been shaped, both individually and as a couple, into who we\u2019re becoming, with a clearer sense of purpose, faith, and direction for the future. Now, surrounded by those we love most, we\u2019re so excited to begin this next chapter together, and even more grateful to celebrate the beginning of our forever with you. With love, Chanel & Raymond<\/p>\n
