Skatkis wedding in Paternoster

Bridal couple on beach during sunset

Bronwyn and Brent had their epic beach wedding at Skatkis in Paternoster. The day started out with an extremely high tide but luckily the ocean made space for them!

How did you meet?
We actually met on Tinder 😉 (dating app)

Our first date was to meet for a drink in Parkhurst. After a pretty bad date the night before, Bron wasn’t taking any chances and had arranged dinner plans with friends in case the date went south. Turns out it went pretty well and I ended up at dinner with her and her friend. Her friend left and we stayed until the restaurant closed.
When we both swiped right on Tinder, we never imagined we would be married in less than two years. Online dating does work (if you’re lucky enough)
