Wedding in the Wild I f you love animals – especially lions – this is for you! You can now rent a nature-themed wedding chapel at Felidae Centre, a

rescue and rehabilitation sanctuary in South Africa. Proceeds from bookings go towards caring for wildlife in the reserve. Say “I do” alongside the 180-acre lion enclosure, where a pride of 10 lions resides. On the big day, the team at Felidae Centre will feed the lions around the chapel to give your guests maximum exposure to the animals from a safe fenced area. It’s an experience of a lifetime that you and your wedding guests will talk about for years! felidaecentre.co.za/wedding-chapel
