Fish Hoek Valley Museum invites you to share your wedding and engagement stories

From seaside proposals to mountain-backdrop weddings, the Fish Hoek Valley has been home to countless love stories over the years.

Now, the Fish Hoek Valley Museum is inviting the community to help capture these moments in a special project called Valley Romance.

The museum is looking for photographs, stories, and memories celebrating weddings, engagements, marriage proposals, or any other tales of love connected to Fish Hoek and the surrounding valley.

“We’re excited to see the romantic side of the valley’s history,” said Sue Maude, curator of the Fish Hoek Valley Museum.

“Whether your photos are recent or decades old, formal or informal, they all help tell the story of the people who have made this valley their home.”

Ms Maude explained that every contribution adds a human touch to the area’s rich heritage.

“These personal stories remind us that history isn’t just about buildings and dates - it’s about the lives, relationships, and moments that shaped our community.”

Original photographs will be carefully handled, scanned, and returned to their owners, ensuring that your memories are preserved safely for future generations.

If you’d like to share your photos or stories, contact the museum at curator.fishhoekvalleymuseum@gmail.com.

“Help us celebrate the love stories that make our valley so special,” Ms Maude said.
