Elizabeth and Ignatius are getting married!
Our first date was on 1 October 2022, when we met in De Waal park for a walk.
From there followed movie nights, hikes, Woordfees (x3), music festivals, family getaways, new friends, and a lot of laughter.
Who would have thought that, two and a half years later,
an Afrikaans boy from Pretoria and a Shona girl from Mutare
would be ready to spend the rest of their lives together.
We're so excited to start this new chapter, and we can't wait to share it with you.
Our wedding festivities are taking place over a weekend from Friday 23 to Sunday 25 May 2025, starting with a welcome braai on the Friday night,
and ending with a farewell breakfast on the Sunday morning. We'll be in a beautiful and peaceful setting, surrounded by nature.
We invite you to join us for a weekend of connection, fun and celebration.
Venue
De Uijlenes is a working farm two hours from Cape Town, just outside Gansbaai.
We've chosen this venue because it provides the space and amenities for our guests to relax and enjoy the weekend in a beautiful environment.
It also features ample on-site accommodation.
Accommodation
We have secured comfortable accommodation on the venue for the weekend, at R400 ($22) per person per night.
Each room has its own bathroom, and full self-catering facilities are available.
You can also order breakfast for Saturday when you check in on Friday.
To secure your booking, you can make payment at paypal.me/iwbarnardt and
include your name and the number of nights you will be staying. Alternatively, please ask Ignatius for his bank details (South African bank account).
Little ones
A number of our guests have young children, and we would love for them to join us for the weekend!
During the ceremony and reception we will have a children's area set up with games and activities,
and a trusted babysitter to look after them.
Dress code
Formal and fabulous!
Gifts
We will be grateful for your presence at our wedding. If you feel moved to give a gift, we would be honoured, but please know that it's not expected.
One thing about living in an apartment in Cape Town - we don't have a lot of space!
We've set up a small registry at Yuppiechef with some key items we'd love to add to our home.
You can also contribute towards specific items for our honeymoon via our
Honeyfund registry.

Please let us know if you'll be joining us by 31 March 2025 by filling in this form.
