Our story unfolded quietly — in understanding, in laughter, and in the spaces where hearts learned
one another. When Pieter came to truly know Lichelle’s heart — her compassion, her love for people
and children, and the purpose behind all she does — she knew she had found home. He fell in love
with her blue eyes, her gentle kindness, and the way she could always draw joy from even the
simplest moments. What began as friendship grew into a love rooted in faith, shaped by prayer, and
strengthened through time. Like a tree planted by water, their love has grown steady and sure —
unafraid of seasons, flourishing in trust, and bearing fruit in hope. Nearly four years later, this love
continues to choose, to trust, and to hope — leading them here, grateful for what has been and
expectant for all that is yet to come.
