Our love story began in 2004 at Waterkloof Primary School, for Claudio this was love at first sight, however the feelings were not mutual yet. We always remained friends but Claudio continued to try escape the “Friendzone”. It took 6 years, on a confirmation camp in Cullinan, for Claudia to realise that it was her turn to make the first move. All it took was an exchange of BBM pins and on the 12th of September 2010 at Boys High Matric dance, our HAPPILY EVER AFTER began. We were young when we started dating, “high school sweethearts” as they say. We grew up together and supported each other as we went through varsity and started our careers. Eight years’ worth of memories later, while Claudia was doing a secondment in Boston, Claudio travelled 16000 km to meet his “Babez” on a trip around the USA with a ring in his pocket waiting for the perfect moment to “pull a hammy”. On the 2nd of May 2019, at Bridal Veil Falls in Yosemite National Park, a perfect setting for a romantic unforgettable moment. The best is yet to come!
