Our Wedding

Eight years ago, our paths crossed in a way that would change the course of our lives forever. 2017 was the year something magical happened, and we found ourselves not just falling for each other but discovering a deep and unwavering friendship that would become the foundation of everything we’ve built together. From that moment on, we’ve been each other’s greatest supporters, closest confidants, and the best of friends.

The love we share is built on laughter, trust, and shared dreams, and our love for one another has only deepened with time. We’ve travelled the world hand-in-hand, exploring new places and creating memories in every corner of the globe. Each adventure, whether big or small, has been made infinitely more meaningful simply because we’ve experienced it together. The love we have for each other has never been something we’ve taken for granted. It’s a love we’ve fought for, and one that we will continue to choose every single day for the rest of our lives. Through the highs and lows, the quiet moments and the grand gestures, we’ve learned that love is a journey, not a destination. And ours is a journey we’re so incredibly grateful to share. Now, after eight years of growing together, laughing together, and loving each other more deeply than we ever thought possible, we are finally making it official. Saying “I do” is the promise of forever, but it’s also the celebration of everything we’ve already created. With hearts full of love and excitement, we look forward to continuing this extraordinary journey, side by side, for the rest of our days.

Leane' & Retief

Meet Our Bridal Party!We are so blessed to share our day with the people who have been with us through laughter, late-night chats, big milestones, and everyday moments in between. These are the friends and family who have shaped our story, supported us endlessly, and stood by our side long before this wedding day. Each one of them holds a special place in our hearts, and we couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without them beside us. We hope as you celebrate with us today, you’ll get to know and love them just as much as we do.Here’s to the people who make life sweeter, love stronger, and this day unforgettable.

I met Leané when we were 15 — “two broke girls” - who instantly connected through laughter, countless inside jokes, and a friendship that felt effortless from the very start. From laughing until we cried to getting each other through every high and low, our friendship has always been full of love, chaos, and pure fun. Over the years, nothing has changed — she’s still my ride or die, my go-to for everything. We’ve grown together — from school days and teenage dreams to distance and adulthood — and somehow, our bond has only deepened. No matter the miles between us, she’s been my constant source of love, strength, and joy; the kind of friend who became a sister.Somewhere along the way, I met Retief, her amazing husband-to-be, who quickly became one of my dearest friends. He was always the one looking out for us — holding our handbags while we danced the night away and making sure we got home safe. Watching the two of them together feels so right, and now, getting to stand beside Leané as her Matron of Honour feels like the most beautiful full-circle moment for my heart.

Some people come into your life without you asking or even knowing that you needed them. They arrive as a friend and become family. Retief is that kind of family member. From holidays together, to Wednesday soccer, and finally that braai where everything started. The end of Retief making his own decisions. (I know, that’s not entirely true… but he definitely started taking longer to answer his phone.) Leané began passing on her unique creativity and calmness to my friend and helped shape the person we know today. She has invested so many years into the Retief rehabilitation project that she simply can’t say that she doesn’t know what she’s getting herself into anymore. Even though most of the time you’re 10,000 km away, I believe your mom’s tracker still works and we will all arrive safely at the wedding. We look forward to celebrating the beginning of the marriage of two people who are truly meant for each other. May your life together be full of adventure and love.

I’ve known Leane for most of my childhood, and somewhere between laughing until our stomachs hurt, dancing to golden oldies, and sharing those deep, soul-level conversations, she became more than a friend—she became a sister. Then came Retief, and watching the two of them turn their friendship into a love this genuine has been nothing short of inspiring. Together, they’re the kind of couple that makes you believe in timing, in connection, and in choosing each other every day. I’m so grateful for the joy, the support, and the many memories we share, and I’m beyond honored to be part of their special day—cheering for a love that’s as real as it is beautiful. With all my Love Cylene

How i fit into Retief and Leané’s story, Retief brings the Castle Lites, Leané brings the class, and I bring…well, mostly more Castle Lites. Together we’re the perfect mix of laughter, and bad beer decisions and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Over the years, Leané and Retief have become such an intertwined and irreplaceable part of my life. From our very first beer pong game, where it was basically friendship at first sight. We’ve been close ever since. Retief brings the fire playlists and the kind of tax advice that makes you wonder how you ever survived adulthood without him, while Leané arrives with all the emotional support, pep talks, and ‘you’ve got this’ energy anyone could ever need. Watching their love and relationship grow over the past five years has been nothing short of remarkable, and it’s truly an honour to be part of the day where two of my favourite people step into their next chapter together. There’s never a dull moment with them, and I honestly can’t imagine my life without these two wonderful humans who make everything brighter (and significantly more entertaining).

How I fit into the picture of future Mr. &amp; Mrs. Dreyer: Leané and I go way back — all the way to high school where I met one of my wife’s best friends, and she called me out on something I did as a teenage boy (and she was absolutely right).Somehow, that’s how our friendship began. From then on, she became one of my closest friends — the kind who keeps you grounded, gives honest advice, and always makes you laugh when you least expect it. Then she met Retief, her husband-to-be and I’ll admit, I was a little nervous to see who could keep up with her. But from the first time we hung out, we instantly clicked — same sense of humour, same love for beer, and countless hours of PlayStation battles. He quickly became one of my best mates. When my wife and I visited them in London, he even helped me pull off my proposal — which just shows what kind of friend he is. He stood by my side on my wedding day, and now I have the honour of standing by his.

Our friendship began back in Grade 4 in 2010, and from that moment, we were absolutely inseparable - we even made matching T-shirts with our faces on them (a true fashion statement, if I do say so myself!). Leané came into my life when my family and I were going through a lot, and somehow, she became the laughter and light I didn’t know I needed. Even though we went to different high schools for a short while, we found our way back to each other. Now, with her in London and me in Namibia, distance has only proven how unbreakable our bond really is. We’ve shared tears, laughter, questionable life choices, and countless chapters — and through it all.... she’s been my sister, my therapist, and my biggest inspiration. Standing by her side as her bridesmaid feels like the perfect full-circle moment in our beautiful, slightly chaotic story.

Get ready for the love story that will make you laugh, cry, and question our sanity. It all started in the gym, where Retief and I were on a mission to lift more weights and crush our personal bests. But little did we know, we were about to get schooled by love. I remember the day vividly - Retief was struggling to bench 150kg (yeah, right!), and I had to call him out on it. Our trash talk turned into a bromance-fueled workout session, and we were both too busy flexing our muscles to notice the ladies... until we weren't. Fast forward a few months, and Retief met his match - his beautiful wife-to-be! Suddenly, his priorities shifted from "who can lift the most" to "who can make this girl laugh". And let me tell you, he's been lifting his game ever since. Now, as I stand here as Retief's groomsman, I'm honored to celebrate the man who's traded in his sweat-capped glory for a lifetime of love, laughter, and adventure. Cheers to the happy couple! May your love be stronger than Retief’s bench!
