Welcome to one of the biggest moments in my life.
Yesterday afternoon I asked Samantha to marry me… and she accepted. At approximately 1pm, at the end of a pier in Portsea, I officially became the luckiest man on the planet. Sam’s father (her parents are out from South Africa for a week) captured the event from afar…
Afterwards, we went back to Sorrento for an impromptu celebration and spent the rest of the day informing family and talking about the big day… something I’m sure we’ll be doing much more of!
As for what we’ve decided so far, we’re keen to tie the knot around April next year. That may seem like a long way away, but this year we’ve got me starting a new business, two trips to South Africa (including a week in Mauritius!) and us finding and buying our first home. Phew! It’s exhausting just typing that! We’re also very fond of the cooler weather… so we want to make sure the Summer days are long gone before we strap ourselves into the wedding livery.
We’re also talking about having a second celebration in South Africa shortly afterwards (renewal of vows etc) to enable Sam to be around the friends and loved ones that wont be able to make the trip over to Australia.
Well - thanks for reading and sharing this special time with us. I’m sure you’ll get further updates from time to time. If you’ve got any words of wisdom, send them through!
