"The tears were flowing," Horn told YOU Magazine, which published exclusive photos from the wedding captured by Kyla Diamond Photography. The images show the pair at the picturesque wine estate, a romantic backdrop that set the tone for what was clearly a deeply personal celebration.

Quan Horn's journey from High School romance to the altar

Horn, who was born on 27 June 2001, has built a reputation as one of South African rugby's most exciting young talents. He predominantly plays fullback and wing for the Golden Lions and made his Springbok debut in July 2024 against Portugal. His versatility has made him a valuable asset in the national setup, and in mid-2026, coach Rassie Erasmus made the bold call to start Horn at flyhalf against the Barbarians, a position outside his usual roles.

Off the field, however, the 24-year-old has shown a softer side. His relationship with Mujeanne dates back to their school days, making their wedding a milestone that carried far more weight than a typical ceremony.

A wedding day he will never forget

The couple chose the Stellenbosch wine estate as their venue, and the setting lived up to the occasion. When Mujeanne appeared in her wedding dress and made her way towards him, Horn was visibly moved, unable to hold back his emotions in front of their guests.
