Weddings at Bistro 13

Adriana & Scott had their beautiful wedding at Bistro 13 just outside Stellenbosch. With Scott’s Scottish blood it was such a nice touch for him them to get married in a kilt. I loved her long sleeved lace dress. It was something different and she looked amazing!
They are two amazing people. A privilege indeed!

How did you meet?
We met in the summer of 2006 at a local hangout place. He was working behind the bar and when I first laid my eyes on him, I knew that I loved him. We started dating for a month and then I had to break the news that I was going to work on the cruise ships. Sadly we had to part for a year, during which we lost contact. I came back to South Africa after my contract and a few months later we walked into each other at the same local hangout. Since then we were inseparable and now after about 9 years I got to marry my best friend!

One wedding tip that you can give other wedding couples.
Don’t stress the small stuff. In the end, your day will be perfect and beautiful. Because what matters most about the day are you and the man that you are going to marry.
What is your relationship motto?
Our motto as a couple – Have fun, laugh allot, travel the world, discover new places, hug a lot, always be gentle, give each other room to grow, say you are sorry, love with all your heart, bring out the best in each other and always be there for one another.
