Funnily, physical therapy brought Tanya Masiyiwa and Lethabo Molobi together.
During one of her treatment sessions, she introduced us, Tanya explains.
Who knew that simple introductions would be the beginning of our fairytale?

The chemistry was electric.
The couple were engaged the following summer, after Lethabo proposed at The Ivy Chelsea Garden in London.
I had never seen something so beautiful that meant so much.
Tanya was living in London and studying at Cambridge at the time, and Lethabo was based in Johannesburg.
I wish to have such courage in my life.
Im pretty sure we were still planningonour wedding day!
The celebrations officially kicked off on the beach in Cape Town with a traditional ceremony.
For this ceremony, Lethabo wore a custom Tswana-inspired suit.
This meant he could express himself while still honoring his heritage, Tanya notes.
The creation was brought to life with the help of Kevin Zhou.
For the third ceremony later that day, the bride wore Viktor & Rolf and jewelry by Anabela Chan.
This was inspired by my little sister Joanna, who has launched her fashion brand Amayi.
The wedding ceremony was completely surreal.
After the ceremony, the newlyweds joined their family members for some time alone before joining their guests.
This was one of the more special moments because it all really sunk in, Tanya says.
And, we were able to have our loved ones with us.
