The couple made their relationship public earlier this year when they appeared together at a rugby match. Just a month later, the two had a beautiful mountain-top engagement in Cape Town.
” WE ARE ENGAGED ?❤️ I am lost for words. I am flippen going to marry the man of my dreams ? I am in absolute awe and gratefulness to have the privilege, firstly to love you and now to start a new journey with you” she said at the time.
The couple got married at the Pat Busch Mountain Reserve in Robertson, near the Cape Winelands, the past weekend and Tatjana took to Instagram to announce their love, simply saying: “Mr & Mrs Smith 🤵🏻👰🏻♀️”
Tatjana rocked a beautiful white wedding gown while Joel wore a smart black tuxedo, paired with a fresh pair of white sneakers.

The wedding was a beautiful celebration of their new love and brought two families together to celebrate their marriage. Rachel Kolisi and family came down from France for the Springboks trophy tour and then for the wedding too.
Rachel took to her Instagram story and posted a picture of the couple, congratulating her brother on his marriage to a “spectacular woman”.
“My brother got married to the most spectacular woman this weekend and I literally couldn’t be more grateful for this love.”
According to The Citizen, Tatjana said she’s achieved great things in swimming but said Joel brings her so much joy, while Joel said his life has changed since he met her, and that his life was so much better with her.
