Nick popped the question after seven good years of dating. He proposed on the 17th of July 2016 – on my 22nd birthday. He took me to one of my favourite restaurants for dinner. After having dinner, I saw him get down on one knee. I was surprised because I thought he was kneeling down to pick up something he had dropped on the floor but bang there he was popping the big question holding a gold diamond ring,

Our wedding was always planned for before the idea really transpired. We had a 300 page diary that we used to exchange between the two us during our dating years. In it each of us would write whatever idea or dream came into mind regardless of costs. We would state our dream venues, the cars we wanted, marriage officer, the menu, the dress code, guest number, entertainment, etc. After the proposal and after he had done the lobola ceremony it was now just a matter of discussing and agreeing on best options
