ZANA Geldenhuys, the Kempton Express/Pick n Pay June/July Bride of the month, answers some questions:
Look at her wedding pictures here
1. How long have you known each other?
We’ve known each other about eight years as we went to the same high school.
2. Where did you meet?
We met in our 10th grade English class. I had just changed schools so I was the new girl in the class and he sat in front of me.
3. Was it love at first sight?
Not at all! He’ll say that it was love at first sight but I only really got to know him in our second year of varsity. Still to this day he keeps on saying he always knew I was the one but he barely spoke two words to me.
4. What did you dread most about your wedding day?
About people being late, and they were.
5. Which part of your wedding day did you enjoy most?
Definitely my husband’s speech. He’s not very comfortable speaking in front of others but he really put in so much effort. I was crying through the whole thing. It was so special.
6. What do you love most about your husband?
He has the biggest heart of anyone I have ever met! He cares and loves so deeply and he treats everyone with respect and dignity. He is an amazing friend. Not just to me but to our entire group of friends. He will drop everything when a friend needs him.
7. What do you hate most about your husband?
He constantly leaves every single light on in our house but it’s getting better.
8. What do you love most about your mother-in-law?
The same reason I love my husband. She has the biggest heart and the sweetest soul. I love her like I do my own family. She’ll always go out of her way to make sure her children are happy and cared for.

Pizza.

Crispy bacon and avo salad from Sandwich Baron.
11. Which is your favourite restaurant?

We love trying out new restaurants, so our fave date night is driving to any new spot or meeting up with our friends for a braai. My husband and his friends have been joined at the hip since school so all of us are mostly together over weekends.

Yes, he does, cooking dinner is just as much his job as it is mine and we get to spend time together in the meantime.

I am the sales, marketing and branding coordinator at LiV ENT, which specialises in ERP solutions.
