I was stood up and phoned my best friend rather upset. He said to come to his office. We would have a drink or 2 there and then go out partying. I arrive there still and walk straight past Johan to go find my bestie. We head to the office bar and grab a drink. He then takes me over to Johan and his mate and introduces us. We all chat for about 10m and then Johan leaves to go braai at his house with his mate. I call him lame for leaving. My bestie and I go and party the night away. But I cannot get Johan out my mind.
The next day my bestie invites me to another party with him. I at first said no as I would not know anyone. Eventually he convinces me. We go to the party and Johan happens to be at the same party. We started chatting, drinking, dancing and at the end of the night Johan kissed me in the middle of the dance floor. About a week later Johan asked me to be his girlfriend and the rest is history....
2 December 2017. We were at a kiddies birthday party. Our friends were chatting about how they had proposed to their ladies. One friend asked Johan when he was going to ask me. Johan got up, got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I asked if he was serious a couple of times before saying yes. Our friends then rushed off to buy shampies to celebrate. They arrived back with a flashing pop ring as well (Johan did not have a ring)
The next day we were at Johans Dad. Johan spoke to him and told him he had proposed to me. His Dad then gave him his late Mother's ring. This made the engagement just so much more special.
December 17 2018 we will say our I do's.
