In a moment reminiscent of a fairytale, former Miss South Africa Natasha Joubert exchanged vows with her long-time partner Enrico Vermaak over the weekend, culminating a year of meticulous planning and heartfelt anticipation.
Vermaak proposed to Jobert in February 2024 during a romantic sunset yacht cruise from the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. The couple have been together for eight-and-a-half years.
They celebrated their love in a lavish ceremony held in the picturesque backdrop of Cape Town, surrounded by their respective families and close friends.
Although images from the wedding remain closely guarded, Joubert kept her fans engaged by sharing glimpses of the lead-up to her special day.
In heartfelt posts on social media, she offered a sneak peek into her preparations, including a video showcasing her hair and skincare routine.
One particularly emotional post read: "IT'S HERE!!! Get ready with me for the last day as a Miss! I'm so overly blessed to have this dinner with the people nearest and dearest to me!😭❤️ I'm becoming a wife."
In another post she expressed her excitement: “I can’t wait to marry you today."
Vermaak echoed her affections in an equally touching Instagram tribute, writing: "Today, I marry my best friend, my greatest love, and my forever. With you, I’ve found my home, my heart, and my happiness. Here’s to our forever.👰🏻🤵🏼♂️."
The wedding day itself was planned to perfection, thanks to the expertise of Alon, a wedding and events specialist based in Stellenbosch.
Taking to Instagram, the company previewed the couple, stating: "The moment has finally arrived – Natasha & Enrico’s wedding week is here! 🥂✨Reflecting on the incredible journey of bringing their dream day to life, we’ve loved every step of the process.
"From the very beginning, their vision was clear, and it’s been such a privilege to bring it all together. With Natasha’s grace as a former Miss SA and Enrico’s charm, it’s been nothing short of magical.
"A massive thank you to each team who has been working extremely hard behind the scenes, we could not have done it without you. Stay tuned, as we’ll be sharing every stunning detail of their unforgettable celebration after the big day – you won’t want to miss it!"
