"It’s not how long you know someone. It’s about the impact they have on your life." My name is Toni . I met Michaela back in 2021 through my partner Kyle. We went for dinner one night and found ourselves laughing uncontrollably. Michaela stopped us and said even if one day you happen to break up with Kyle promise we’ll remain friends. It’s in that moment I knew she was there to stay.

My name is Monique Adams , Ray little sister. I met Michaela back in 2013 , the week of orientation & we became friends. the year 2015 , my brother described this girl to me, but I did not know who he was talking about, he just kept on talking about her legs but anyhow fast forward to the next day he eventually showed me the girl & it was Michaela yes guys , my brother is getting married to my FRIEND !!!

I am Michaela's only sister, when she was born she was my little doll and I always felt I needed to protect her and teach her things that I never knew... I am pleased to say that I no longer have to protect her because she has Ray now and I trust her and her heart in his hands.

My name is Lerato, a friend to Ray. Before I undertake the customary duty of giving Ray a little panic attack reading this... (jokes 😂) I have had the distinct pleasure of knowing, for a considerable portion of my life, both Ray & Michaela as a couple. Michaela, not many people are as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside, but you hit the nail on the head. I'm not going to dwell on your love story, but one thing for sure, you are everything Ray needed. You've had such a positive Impact on Ray's life. You've brought so much discipline and direction in his life. You've helped him rewrite his story and now God has given you both the opportunity to write your own marriage love story together 🤍. I appreciate the amount of effort it has taken you to keep this well-oiled machine put-together (Ray). You've unlocked the most beautiful versions of Ray I never knew existed. It really does take a strong woman to handle a broken man. Thank you for bringing out the best in him and making him the happiest man. Ray, I met Ray in grade 5 in Glenstantia Primary school. A friendship or rather brotherhood that's never wavered or questioned despite taking slightly different paths, a bond that's remained strong. I don't know the number of times you have singlehandedly pulled me out of life's quicksand, it's almost embarrassing to count, so I know you’ll be everything Michaela deserves and more. As Ray's friend, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing his growth and evolution. From athletics racing tracks, muddy soccer fields, crazy street/night life, to this momentous occasion, I couldn’t be prouder of the man he has become. I take a lot of pride being able to share this moment with the you. May God bless your union & your love knows no bounds 🥂 (Remember, a marriage is more than just a partnership for life, it's two people committing to reflect God's love in their love for each other)
