Meet Lumè - Verena's friend and nail tech! What started as a simple nail appointment quickly turned into a bestie bond.

After years of friendship, Lumè is not only one of Verena's amazing bridesmaids, but also a never-ending source of support, a sounding board, and endless laughter.

Meet Bert—the braai master, DIY guru, and the only man who actually finishes a home project before starting the next one. After countless late nights in the "braai kamer", endless hours spent roaming Builders Warehouse like it’s his second home, and a few DIY projects that went exactly according to plan, the groom realised Bert wasn’t just the bride’s brother—he was about to become family in every possible way. Whether he’s cracking jokes over the fire, showing up when it truly matters, or completing a home renovation with military precision, Bert is the guy you want in your corner—especially if you need a laugh, some solid advice, or someone to hand you an ice-cold beer while the braai coals settle.

Meet Kobus – but if you actually want him to listen, call him Boetie. Every groom needs a right-hand man who brings the laughs, keeps the energy high, and knows exactly when to hand over a drink. Boetie brings the energy, the fire (literally as the designated braai master), and the good times. He’s also the one controlling the playlist, making sure the music matches the vibe and keeps the party going. A true friend in every way, always there and a part of countless unforgettable memories.
