Marriage Preparation & Officiation · Johannesburg

The wedding lasts a day. The marriage lasts a lifetime.
One deserves as much care as the other.

"I have found the one whom my soul loves." — Song of Solomon 3:4

More than a beautiful ceremony.
A foundation.

Before Forever began with something I noticed. The most beautifully planned weddings are not always the most beautifully prepared marriages. I created this space for couples who understand the difference and want both. A day to remember and a life worth living together.

01

A Safe Place

There is nothing you cannot bring into this space. Your fears, your doubts, your history and your hurt are all welcome here.

02

Faith at the Centre

Jesus is not a box to tick in your ceremony. He is the foundation we build everything on.

03

More Than a Ceremony

I am here to walk with you through the preparation that makes the ceremony meaningful.

04

Closer to Each Other and to God

Two people who leave this process knowing each other more deeply, trusting God more fully.

Before Forever · Robynne Todd

Words from those who
have walked this journey

"

At a time when my marriage felt unsafe and beyond repair, Robynne stepped in with such compassion, clarity, and strength. She helped me recognize harmful patterns and guided us through a difficult but necessary process of change.

With prayer and Robynne's support what followed was not just reconciliation, but a true transformation in our relationship. Today, our marriage is built on mutual respect, understanding, and healthier communication.

Looking back, I believe it would have been so valuable to have had her help in addressing important issues BEFORE we entered into marriage.

"

Working with Robynne as our wedding officiant was such a special and meaningful experience. It never felt like just "planning a ceremony" — it felt like she truly cared about preparing us for marriage.

She has such a natural gift for connecting with couples, creating meaningful moments, and making people feel seen and supported. We are so grateful she was part of such an important day in our lives.

Before Forever is for every couple who believes
their marriage deserves more than a beautiful day.

Intentional

You are not just planning a wedding. You are choosing a life. You want to walk into your marriage with your eyes open and your hearts aligned.

Searching

You believe in God and you feel His presence in your relationship. You want your faith to be part of your marriage. This is a safe place to explore that.

Healing

Life has not always been kind. You carry some hurt into this relationship and you want to make sure it does not follow you into your marriage. This space holds that with care.

"What God has joined together, let no one separate."
Mark 10:9

"From the moment we meet I want you to feel seen, understood and believed in. I want you to leave our first conversation knowing you are in good hands. Not because I have all the answers but because I will show up for you fully, ask the questions that matter and hold your story with care."
Robynne Todd · Before Forever

My hope for every couple is the same. That you leave this journey knowing yourself more deeply, loving your partner more fully and trusting Jesus more completely.
