Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, the happy couple weren't able to have their "big white wedding" as planned, but that's still on the cards for 2021.
Coetzee, 30, has been a stalwart in the last line of defence for the Lions since 2012, having played 98 Super Rugby matches for the union as well as 13 Tests for the Springboks.
Congratulations to the couple from the Sport24 team!
Mart took to her Instagram page to post the following message:
The ONLY accessory a woman needs to have ...is her HUSBAND- legally and FOREVER.
And i'm wearing mine with so much pride ( i know my face says it all)
Even
though it wasn't the big white wedding as planned (... yet, and believe
me that day WILL come somewhere in 2021) the feeling of being married
to my best friend and the love of my life exceeds all my expectations.
This
Corona virus came upon us like a thief in the night. Took away which
was supposed to be the most beautiful and special and memorable day of
our lives. Our wedding day! Similar to waking up and to find your house
empty and you had absolutely NO idea it was coming, what just happened
or what to do , we were robbed from our fairytale day. NO idea it
would've been so extreme and that there's absolutely nothing you can do.
BUT with that said , SO much was also given to us in this
time. The opportunity to start our lives together, say our i do's, make
our vows to each other, and the most important part , being able to do
this before two witnesses and our AMAZING God. (Plus i got to wear my @badgleymischkabridewedding shoes ???? BONUS)
Sometimes
life happens- and everything doesn't go as planned or according to our
plans- but with this beautiful human and husband next to me- life can
bring whatever it wants.
We're ready.
Me and you, just us two.
Forever &
Always
??
