Once upon a time, two busy high school teenagers never quite managed to ignite a platonic friendship. Years later, the love story started years later thanks to a high school reunion. Before they knew what had hit them, the love birds were heading off to Rome together, two months later on a romantic getaway…

Ten years after meeting, 8 years under the same roof, 11 countries navigated and after attending 14 weddings, two of the most beautiful gifts blessed them: the children, Zoé and Jules. Despite “boys only” weekends Billy attended throughout the years, his 17,206 exaggerations, the 23,579 corn crackers eaten by Jeanne, and her 36,809 remixed stories, they decided to say ‘Yes’ on October 16, 2017 in Namibia, and chose Marrakesh to celebrate their union.

Jeanne and Billy’s two-day wedding weekend was all about family, friendship and laughter in a chic rustic setting. A true luxury barefoot atmosphere, the venue choices were perfect for the theme; a charming blend of Moroccan tradition and French chic. The welcome party happened in the middle of the Agafay desert at a tailored camp built by ‘Hello Moments & Co.’ that flaunted a cream and white theme. The next day, for the ceremony and reception, the couple chose a hotel known for its green oasis of charm, ancient olive trees, stylish swimming pools, views across the rose gardens to the Atlas Mountains and the magnificent orangery. The theme of the wedding inevitably became – ‘The Olive Branch’.
