Good day,

My name is Gerhard, and I have been an overland tour guide, throughout Southern Africa, for the last 10 years.

Life was great, I had the opportunity to see amazing places, and meet even more amazing people, I even met the love of my life, we dated, we got engaged, and we started planning our wedding, but then just when the date was set and the deposits paid, Covid struck...

We were trapped halfway across the country from each other

At first we were put into a 21 day lockdown, which was bad because we were trapped halfway across the country from each other, but we believed, as our government told us, that we would not be separated for too long, and that after a short lockdown we would be able to also get back to work, however the true seriousness of the COVID pandemic had not yet seen the light of day...

4 months later, with lockdown being extended again and again, we were still apart, and starting to make a serious dent in our savings, debt still had to be paid, and we were getting worried that even if we could actually have the wedding, would we be able to work enough to be able to pay the outstanding costs of the wedding?

A month from our wedding date, the government told us that no weddings were allowed to take place, and so the venue postponed the date indefinitely until it was allowed again.

Help me to give the love of my life the special day she deserves

2 months after our original wedding date, the lockdown was lifted to a level 1, and the go ahead for weddings got given, we were told that tourism would reopen at the end of the year, and so considering that we could work and earn an income again, we picked our new date from the few that the venue had available, we were filled with joy, not only because travel was allowed and we could see each other for the first time in 6 months, but also because we were going to survive, get married, and restart building a life together.

Now however we are in February, I have managed to find a part time job, allowing us to make ends meet, but money is tight, and even though we are extremely excited, and happy that the wedding can actually go ahead, we are worried about the costs outstanding, so thus I am here to ask for your help.

If you can find it in your heart, and if you are in a position to have some extra, please help me to give the love of my life the special day she deserves.

I would be happy if you could use the [Help by sharing] button to share about my project!
