Eileen Gould & Andre Botes

Married on Nov 4, 2023 in Gauteng

How did your love story begin?

 

Myself and Andre met 16 years ago through a mutual friend's gathering. We were smitten with each other from the get go and I can truly say it was love at first sight. We started dating on the 7th of the 7th month 2007!!! Wow... My lucky number lol. We have been inseparable ever since and I cannot begin to imagine my life without this handsome, kind hearted, caring man in it. We are so excited for what the future holds for us. I cannot wait to marry my absolute best friend.

Tell us all about the proposal.

 

Andre caught me completely off guard when he proposed. It was my 21st birthday and we had all of our friends and family there to celebrate my birthday. When the time came for all of our speeches, he informed everyone that he would like to make a toast on the birthday girl (that's me) lol. He got down on one knee and said the sweetest words. I don't think I even gave him a chance to even finish his whole speech that was prepared before I just jumped up and hugged him... Of coarse I said YES, I actually think I yelled it. I felt like the luckiest girl alive and I still feel that way today.

Magical Moments

 

We truly enjoyed every single moment, but my favorite part has to be our first dance. We danced on a cloud along with Roxette's beautiful voice singing "Almost Unreal" and that is definitely how it felt! ALMOST UNREAL
