We met as 1st year accounting students at Varsity where both of us really had such an epic time... in, as well as outside the classroom/library. Of course we were just friends during this time. We then ended up doing our auditing articles at the same firm and it is here where things changed from a "Hi, I hope you're well... to a "Hi, I hope you're well... lets spend more time together... oh and I'd like for you to meet my parents..."
After 7 years of friendship (which includes a 1 year relationship) Jerik and Wilmari happened to be in the Kruger National Park with a group of friends. It was Wilmari's 1st outing in the Kruger and as luck would have it... she saw the Big 5. The day was perfect. Back at camp, and with the much needed assistance of friends, Jerik prepped a private corner with fairy lights and phodies etc. It is here where Wilmari found Jerik speechless, and on one knee knowing that things would change forever.
