Another weekday wedding today blessed with gorgeous weather and a smooth, shimmering ocean. The bait fish announced themselves as a dark patch on the sea — it looked as though the water was gently boiling.
Petrone’ & Ulrich wanted a small, intimate celebration overlooking the ocean, with the venue reserved exclusively for them. The Laughing Forest in Elysium, just 50 minutes south of the old Durban airport, was the perfect choice. Set along a breathtaking 7 km stretch of unspoilt beach, it offered the perfect backdrop for their special day.
The beautiful bride looked radiant as she made her way down the aisle, the ocean breeze gently lifting her veil. Every moment reflected pure joy and love between the couple.
Their heartfelt ceremony was led by Dianne Visser, a soulful marriage official whose warmth and sincerity added a deeply personal touch to the occasion.
There were photo opportunities everywhere — in the lush bush, along the golden beach, and throughout the stunning gardens.
The Laughing Forest offers on-site accommodation for up to 30 guests, making it ideal for intimate gatherings. The bridal couple also enjoys a complimentary room — the perfect place to unwind after a magical day.
For most small wedding packages, Debbie handles every detail, ensuring each celebration runs smoothly from start to finish.
We wish Petrone’ & Ulrich a lifetime filled with laughter, love, and endless fun.
