Strika revels in the happiness of its employees, so we caught up with newly wed Debbie Breach (nee Pentz) to find out all about the happiest day in her life…
Q: Where was the bachelorette party?
A: For the first part of the day in a bridal setup it was: Camps bay beach to tan and beg for drinking money (the girls gave me a very cute bucket for tips), Caprice to drink and beg for cash and Cavendish for supplies…and more begging. Then in the evening dressed up in a Moulin Rouge themed outfit: we started off with food and drinks at Kink in Loop Street. We then headed back to Caprice for another drink and more begging. I don’t remember the name of the bar we ended up at but it was awesome!
Q: What’s the name of the lucky man?
A: Stephen.
Q: If you had to liken him to any Strika character, which would it be?
A: Uh…North Shaw maybe? Just because of the surfing…
Q: Did you leave him waiting at the altar just a little bit… to make him extra thankful when you did show up?
A: HAHA, no that’s mean! The whole wedding was late though…we only kept the guests waiting!
Q: Chicken or fish? What was on the menu?
A: Ooh that was a goodie! Crayfish dipped in wasabi butter for appetizers, Mezze platter for starters, fillet steak with a red wine sauce for mains and Dessert consisted of mini koeksusters, malva puddings, milk tarts, brownies and cheeses…and cake!
Q: Was the first dance traditional romantic, or gangsta rap?
A: VERY romantic: ‘Stolen’ by Dashboard Confessional.
Q: Which of these nicknames have you been called?
Lil Breaches
Breach over troubled waters
Breachy Keen
Ex-Pentz-ive
A: HAHA, holy moly! None yet…only you could think of those!
Q: What will you miss most about Pre-wedding Debbie?
A: Nothing at all!
Q: What would Pre-wedding Debbie like to say to Post-wedding Debbie?
A: Congrats. No kidding…this is a weird question.
Q: How many toasters did you receive?
A: None… I did receive a gorgeous coffee machine though ;-)
Q: Now that the wedding is over, what tips do you have for other Strika employees who might soon be going down the aisle?
A: Remember to relax and take the whole day in. It goes by sooo quickly. Have a videographer even if it’s a friend holding a video camera because you will want to look back at the day….and get as many people as you can to help out. It pays to be organized!
