The country’s most loved couple of the moment just gave us yet another healthy dose of the feels. Following his amazing performance at the 2019 Rugby World Cup, Springbok captain Siya Kolisi wrote a touching tribute to the woman that has supported him all the way.
Siya and Rachel Kolisi have been together for many years, and have faced harsh criticism and racial abuse ever since they began dating. However, their love proved true. Now married and parents to four children, (two biological and two adopted), the couple have won over the hearts of the nation following Siya leading the Springboks to victory at the World Cup.
Rachel has been by Siya’s side supporting his rugby journey since they met, so of course she was front and centre cheering him on at the major sports competition. Her dedication has not gone unnoticed by Siya, and in a beautiful Instagram post, he thanked his wife for her unwavering support.
“I love you @rachel_kolisi Thanks for always being there for me, believing in me and pushing me to be the best I can be.” he wrote in an Instagram post.

Since being posted, the image has raked up over 100 000 likes, and various South African celebrities such as Janez Vermeren and Anele Mdoda have commented their support for the couple.
The couple seem to be incredibly loved up at the moment, and even jetted off to Paris together following the end of the Springbok Champions tour. Rachel shared this adorable picture from the city of love.

Sunshine, icy drinks, flowers and, did we say sunshine? If you’re a summery soul, an outdoor wedding will be perfect and hosting your wedding in the hot months will be a blast. With so many fun things to incorporate, you can go wild! Here are some sizzling ideas.
Garden games
Let’s be honest, it’s not just the kiddies that love to play in the garden. Adults can have all the fun too. Have some games set up if your venue includes a garden, so folks can get some fresh air between the ceremony and reception. Think crocquet, ring toss, and jumbo Jenga.

Fruity cocktails
If the sun’s out and the temperatures are soaring, there’s nothing nicer than to sip on an ice cold fruity drink. You can have ready made cocktails or even have a station where guests can mix their own.

Live music
Music really does set the vibe and live music creates a relaxed atmosphere. Many local bands are not too expensive, or maybe you have a muso-friend. Of course, you might just want to splurge and hire a professional band, then go for it!

Floral decor
Nothing says ‘summer’ like flowers. Make the most of it by bringing it into the decor. Centre pieces on the tables, bunches behind the chairs and along the pathways will create a paradise look.

Light, airy materials will add to an overall light and lovely feel. Go for light colours like cream, lavender and peach.

Beach theme
If you have an informal wedding, tropical themes are very in. Go for sunglasses, drinks in coconuts and bare feet. Remember the sunscreen!

Parasols
If you and your guests are going to be in the sun all day, you don’t want to burn. Parasols are the perfect solution. They look classy and provide perfect protection. Remember to add additional shade, like gazebos.
