She'd just returned from adventures on the Pacific islands of Samoa. He was just finding his way in the wild world of Joburg. The day after Petro's birthday, they met (without too much fuss) at their church small group. A few months was all it took for Gerald to realise that something was up. A few cheesy jokes, a couple of dates, and a long hike in Modderfontein marked the start of their journey together. It was also at the monthly Modderfontein market where the two officially started dating. What followed was almost half a year of hiking adventures, dining out, and generally celebrating life together with friends and family. It turns out the cliché is true: when you know, you know. On the 3rd of January, 2020, on a mountain overlooking Hartebeespoort Dam, a ring glimmered and "yes" was said. As we all know, 2020 did not turn out how any of us had originally planned. Corona made sure that our wedding was an intimate affair. The first year of life together has been wonderful, and now we look forward to celebrating our marriage with all of you!
