Where It Happened

Fairmont Zimbali Resort

Fairmont Zimbali Resort

“An unspoiled shoreline, rolling hills and lush flora have come to define the Zimbali Coastal Resort region. Set along South Africa’s sublime east coast, nestled between a forest reserve and a shimmering sea, our Durban resort’s exquisite natural beauty is dotted with pockets of urban flair and enhanced by the rich Zulu heritage of the KwaZulu-Natal province.”

How We Got Engaged

We started dating in August 2007, and had been dating for 6 months when we decided to move in together and we have never looked back since.

In July 2012 Brian popped the question at The Coral Tree Restaurant in the stunning Fairmont Zimbali Lodge.

After a decadent dinner Brian took me out onto a private secluded balcony with the rolling ocean and moonlight beaches as our backdrop, he got down on one knee and proposed.

Needless to say I burst into tears and accepted, making me the happiest girl in the world and him the luckiest man.
