The festivities for Thibaut Courtois and Israeli model Mischel Gerzig’s wedding began on Sunday with a posh pre-party by the water in Cannes.

On Sunday in the early evening, the pre-party began at Cannes’ Bijou Plage, a private beach with a restaurant. The potential couple has already appeared in a number of social media videos and images. Mischel shimmers in a short, white, sleeveless dress with matching earrings. Courtois also only wears white.

In addition, the two gave a brief speech in which they thanked everyone for coming tonight. Mischel continues, “I’m genuinely worried. Gratitude for visiting. When you are here, you are a very special person to us. We really love you.

This gathering is only the welcome party; the wedding ceremony and associated celebration will take place on Monday at a still-secret venue. More than 300 people would have been invited, despite the fact that they would have been advised to keep the wedding small.
