Hello, my name is

Henrike

and I'm the creative mind ​behind ForeverLikeTheMoon.

About Me

I am 25 years old and spend most of my days ​working as a software engineer for Bash in ​Cape Town.


As an avid planner, I wanted to make sure I ​had everything I needed to organize the ​perfect wedding once I got engaged. When I ​couldn't find a suitable wedding planner on ​the market, I took it upon myself to create my ​own in October 2021. Realising that other ​brides might benefit from it, I decided to ​publish it and make it available it to others.


Following the publication of the planner, I ​started doing freelance graphic design work ​for wedding stationery. However, when I ​realised how expensive printing services can ​be, I decided to try producing the stationery ​myself. Fast forward, and my small side hustle ​has now become a small business, ​specialising in crafting wedding stationery for ​couples throughout South Africa.


The story behind the name

The name ForeverLikeTheMoon is inspired by ​Psalm 89:37, where God compares the duration of ​His covenant with David to the everlasting nature ​of the moon.


Marriage is a sacred bond between a husband ​and wife, meant to endure forever like the moon. ​Just as the moon is a "faithful witness in the sky," ​marriage is intended to demonstrate God's ​faithfulness, reflect His love, and serve as a ​reminder of His covenant.


Therefore, marriage is not simply a decision but a ​testament of faith and a promise to honour and ​cherish one another through all the joys and ​challenges of life.

Like the moon, established forever,

a faithful witness in the sky.”

Selah

​Psalm 89:37
