Our Story

 

OUR STORY

Her Story

We met unexpectedly on a Friday night ... Out in Umhlanga with mutual friends ... your quirky charm, cheeky smile, bike knowledge and sparkling eyes intrigued me.

You asked for my number the following day through our friends and waited until the Monday to message me. We chatted for days, had our first, second and third date until the restaurants closed.

You have made me laugh from day one and until now, somehow we always in-sync and can finish each other’s sentences or even guess before we say it. You know what I want to eat before I order, you sometimes know me better than me, you are my best friend and the love of my life. The 1st December marks our start on forever, I’ll always choose you, we were made for each other xoxo #myperson

His Story

She was on a date with her bestie, Chandzi in tow and I was out with my fishing mate Will.  She was like a moth drawn to the flames of my charm and before long the other guy was going down in flames. This poor guy from Joburg,  his goose was cooked OR so I thought. Only for me to be dumbstruck when Miss Simmons returned to his side and began stroking his arm.

With confusion set in and intrigue, I thought I'll show you who's boss and started in on poor Chandzi but I only had eyes for our Sami. 

I sourced her number from Will, a few days passed, I played it cool.

But after our first date, I knew I had been anything but cool.

Sami showed me her charms and soon I knew I was being schooled.

​

I have found my Angel and I look forward to a long happy life with my beautiful Love and my person!  May we always be in-sync & if we get lost, may I re-center and look to my North Star.
