Our Story
First meet
23 September 2016
Courtney had started working at Firewater as a receptionist, and she had only been there for about a month when Ian decided to pay a visit.
Unbeknownst to Courtney, Ian was a previous employee of Firewater.
On this fine day, Ian just walked right in with a cheeky smile, not waiting for Courtney to announce him, leaving Courtney with a bit of shock and confusion.
Ian would later rejoin the Firewater team as the Studio Manager.
First date
16 April 2017
What started as an awkward cramped evening in Katy’s Palace ended with deep, meaningful conversations and life stories over really good burgers at GBC.
The interesting part was that Courtney didn’t know it was meant to be a date until just before.
Proposal
13 July 2020
On top of a hill in the middle of Magaliesburg, on a very windy day, Ian, Courtney and Rusty prepared for a family photo. With all the wind, eyes were closed in all the photos so Courtney decided that she would close her eyes until the last few beeps of the camera timer went off. This time the flash Courtney saw was from a ring and not the camera.
Wedding
9 October 2020
We are so excited for this new chapter of our lives and we can’t wait to see what the future has in store for us as husband and wife, But we are even more excited to be taking these first steps with you.
Our Favourite Memories
The Nitty Gritty
COVID
With the current rules being as they are, yes, we are only allowed a maximum of 50 guests at our wedding - although we secretly prefer having a smaller and more intimate wedding 😉
Temperature taking:
Your temperature will be taken on arrival prior to entering the venue
Masks:
Although masks are said to be mandatory, we could think of nothing worse than not being able to see your smiles.
If you insist on wearing a mask, you are welcome to, but it will not be mandatory.
That being said, we do recognise that the virus is still a reality. If you are able to isolate as much as possible for 2 weeks prior to the wedding, we would humbly request that you pretty please do so.
Feeling ill on the day:
If you are feeling ill or experiencing any COVID symptoms, we urge you to please not attend as to avoid spreading any possible infections to staff and other guests. We will completely understand.
Kids
So here it goes...
We love your kid(s), we really do, but we really want to spend time with YOU with as little distraction and worry as possible.
Not to mention the ponds, peacocks and 50-person limit that are not very child-friendly.
And so we respectfully request that you make arrangements in light of this.
Let's be honest, you need the break anyway 😉
Alcohol
Accommodation
Gifts
So we really don't need any gifts, but if you insist, the best gift we could ask for would be a donation to the "Help get Rusty to Ireland" fund. Please contact us directly if you wise to make a contribution.
Dress Code
Semi formal to formal and no jeans allowed on premises.

308 Boundary Rd, North Riding AH, Randburg, 2169
