Cameron van der Burgh and Nefeli Valakenis have officially tied the knot in what was an auspicious occasion, and yes ladies, he is officially off the market now.

Who is Cameron van der Burgh?

Cameron van der Burgh, born on 25 May 1988, is a South African gold medalist swimmer. He is hailed throughout the world of swimming sports as Africa’s first home-trained world record holder.

He has represented the country well since his Olympic debut in 2008, winning gold, silver and bronze medals in every contest he has competed in. However, there would have never been a deep enough pool to tame him the way Nefeli has.

She has always played a vital role in keeping Cameron grounded and this week has been nothing short of amazing for the couple

When did Cameron van der Burgh get engaged?

The Burghs exchanged vows at the breathtaking Ktima 48 in Anavyssos, Greece, on Monday. In attendance were both of their families and a select group of their close friends, who did not shy away from sharing images of the amazing experience on Instagram.

The couple took a step further into their long-time courtship and announced their engagement in December 2016. It seems that a lot of planning may have gone into this one, justifying the reason why it took this long to officially get married.

Where will Cameron van der Burgh and Nefeli’s honeymoon be?

We do not have much information about what the plans of the couple are or where the honeymoon is set to be. However, we can confirm that there is definitely a deal between the Burghs and SABC 3’s Top Billing to have the wedding showcased on the show.

We will have to wait and find out who caught the majestic bouquet and what the future holds for the progressive newly-wedded couple.
