a little about us

Our Story

“A rainy Tuesday. A crowded café. Two strangers who both reached for the last copy of the same book.”
What started as an accidental meeting became the most important day of both of our lives. Three years, four countries, and one very nervous proposal later — here we are. We couldn’t imagine sharing this day with anyone but you.

Maya

the one who picked up the book
I grew up in a small town in the south of Africa, convinced I’d spend my life surrounded by books and cats. I never expected to fall in love in a coffee shop in Jo’burg on the worst weather day of the year. But here I am, happier than I’ve ever been.

Nairobi, 2024 To our dearest family and friends,

There are moments in life you know you'll remember forever — and asking you to share our wedding day with us is one of them. We have laughed together, cried together, and somehow convinced each other that forever isn't nearly long enough.

We didn't want a formal announcement. We wanted this to feel like a letter slipped under your door — personal, warm, and a little imperfect, just like us.

So here it is. We're getting married. And we cannot imagine doing it without you in the room.

With all our love

with all our love Maya & Allan
