We’d love you to celebrate the day with us
Saturday27 November 2027
Nottingham Road, KZN Midlands
We met at a friend's dinner party in Pietermaritzburg, where Musa announced to the table that he did not dance and Eliza decided, there and then, that he was the proudest man she had ever met. He spent the rest of the evening proving her wrong about everything except the dancing.
Four years, two dogs and a great many long walks in the Midlands mist later, he asked her under the oaks at the farm where her grandparents were married. He has since taken dancing lessons.

The old dairy
Wave us off from the front steps.
The farm is a short drive from the village. We have picked a few places with lovely rooms and easy roads to the chapel.
The farm is an hour from Durban and twenty minutes off the N3. The last stretch is gravel, so take it slowly.
A shuttle runs from the farm to Nottingham Road at midnight, so nobody has to drive.
We would be honoured to have you with us. Let us know if you can come, and tell us about any dietary needs.

Having you there is the loveliest gift. If you would like to give something more, we are saving for a honeymoon in the Lake District and a proper writing desk.
Lakes, fells and a lot of tea
For the letters we keep promising
Roses for the farmhouse
Formal, for a garden in early summer. Think long dresses and suits in sage, blush, plum and deep green. The lawn is soft, so leave the stilettos at home.
We love your little ones, but this is an adults-only celebration. Thank you for understanding.
Midlands evenings turn cool after a warm afternoon. Bring a wrap or a jacket for after dinner.
