STORIE:

Lanine & JD — A Modern Love, Timelessly Told

On 2 May 2026, under the soft autumn light at Running Waters in Port Elizabeth, Lanine and JD celebrated their love in a day that was equal parts modern, classic, and heartfelt.

Lanine was a vision in her intricately detailed gown — a masterpiece of beading and sheer floral lace that blended elegance with contemporary style. JD looked effortlessly sophisticated in a dark check suit, the perfect complement to his bride’s timeless grace. Their first look said it all: quiet excitement, deep love, and pure happiness.

The ceremony was intimate and genuine — filled with emotion, laughter, and the quiet confidence of two people meant for each other.

Their black, white, and gold reception décor reflected the couple’s refined taste: bold yet understated, with soft candlelight and a hint of glamour. The stunning five-tier cake, sculpted with modern folds of fondant, became a showstopper — both artistic and symbolic of the layers of their shared story.

Every moment of the evening felt warm and joyful — from heartfelt speeches to a packed dance floor and the couple’s romantic first dance that left guests smiling through happy tears.

Despite the cool, windy weather outside, the celebration glowed with warmth and connection. It was more than a wedding; it was a reflection of who Lanine and JD are — stylish, sincere, and beautifully in love.

When asked what made their day special, they said simply:

“It felt like us — real, beautiful, and full of love.”
Our wedding was a true reflection of who we are — elegant but effortless, modern yet timeless. Every detail, from the classic black, white and gold décor to our heartfelt vows, felt authentic to us. Despite the windy weather, the love and warmth that filled the room made the day unforgettable — it felt intimate, joyful, and completely “us.
Our favourite moment was seeing each other for the first time at the ceremony — everything around us faded, and it felt like time stood still.
