OUR
Story
His Side
It was a sunny day at a friend's wedding party, with family and friends.
For some reason this lady "Ingrid" was at the party.
We were eating and she was sitting across the table from me. Her shy smile, the sparkle in her eye and warm character caught my attention. She was wearing a silver fitted gown with a pair of Cesare Paciotti shoes; what actually got me thinking was her gap tooth!
I knew I had to meet her, I had talk to her. Her kind friends facilitated our introduction. Little did I know that that was the end of my past and the beginning of my future, the start of the man Henry :)
We have made amazing memories, we have had the best of times, fun times and like every relationship we have had our "not so happy times". Such is life, when you love someone like I love Wiferrari (Ingrid).
Through all the challenges we grew, our love strengthened and our relationship matured. During and after adversity, God surrounded us with good friends that had loving and supportive hearts, friends who have been with us in our relationship through the best and the worst times.
After a while, family became interested, curious, they wanted to know more about this beautiful soul. This took our relationship to another level and we kinda had an idea of where we were headed, well, I knew that she was my soul mate.
Then on my birthday in 2015, we went out for a dinner in one of the classic restaurants in Knightsbridge, and I thought to myself , this is the time to be a man . We engaged in a romantic conversation then I proposed to her, and she said YES. 26th Sept 2015. This was the happiest day of my life.

Together as one
Her Side
It is a friend's wedding. Everyone is dressed to the nines and I didn't do too bad my self.
Confidently, I walk in and my lovely friends hail my name to announce my arrival. Mhm, that's how we do. It is June, my favourite month, (you guess why). Introductions begin and I get to shake hands with a tall guy, nice big strong firm hands with dark shades on. Who is he? It's sunny so he rightfully has sun glasses on. I'm curious. 'Oh well' I thought.
​
What happens next? I am standing and he takes my hand and I unconsciously help this big guy up a high level; we walk past each other and there's electrostatic. Has he noticed me? Those sun glasses! I decide to stay indoors not dancing. ''Why won't he say boo to me?' I thought. 'Never mind'.
I go home and the HUNT began.
​
Our first date coincided with my birthday. Perfect. I get to see his face! I was determined to have fun and I did. He is a helpless romantic.
​
The four seasons have come and gone in our relationship but by the grace of Jehovah we've weathered through them all and The Lord Jesus has brought us to where we are. How lucky am I? No, blessed. My testimony is I am because Jesus lives. We have been surrounded by positivity that it is cushioning and comforting to know we are not alone.
​
Moving forward, days before his birthday, Henry insists I must dress up elegantly and meet him at a restaurant in Knightsbridge. Seriously? And that far for a birthday meal? Well, I made the effort - ha, it's Knightsbridge!
I walk in, and yes, confidently (I made a humongous effort). I still said to myself 'seriously?' A tall hat wearing man walks me to my table to see a 007 Henry standing and waiting. He shows me to my seat. This was different. We eat, have a drink, start talking and next he was on one knee! The room went silent. I said YES.
​
Bless the waiters. They popped bottles of champagne. I don't drink but hey, cheers!
​
The rest they say is history and I say is a continuum. 26th September 2015 it was and I am still amazed.
