A Love That Crossed Oceans
Once upon a time in the vibrant city of Cape Town, fate worked its magic through a mutual friend, bringing Siobhan and Ryan together in 2017. It was a meeting that sparked something special—but their love story was about to take an adventurous turn. At the time, Ryan called Johannesburg home, while Siobhan had just committed to a year-long work contract in South Korea. Instead of letting distance keep them apart, they embraced the challenge, building a bond that stretched across continents, proving that love knows no borders. After a year of heartfelt messages, airport reunions, and time zone calculations, Siobhan returned to South Africa, where the couple set their sights on something even bigger—their next great adventure together. They packed their dreams and moved overseas, choosing the UK as their new home, ready for all the exciting chapters ahead. But one chapter remained unwritten—their dream wedding surrounded by the people they love. That all changes in 2026, when they finally celebrate their love the way they always imagined, with laughter, joy, and the perfect "I do!"
