From a high school connection in 2004 to a love that stood the test of time, distance, and life… we finally chose forever. I mean if he doesn’t stalk you for close to 20 years is he even your soulmate 🥹

We first met in high school back in 2004, just two teenagers who felt something, an instant connection if I can say, even if we didn’t quite know what to do with it at the time. Life, of course, had its own plans. We grew up, went our separate ways, him to Australia, me to South Africa and found ourselves in different life paths , different seasons, and different continents.

But somehow… we never really lost each other. Between emails, messages, and the occasional “Hey, how are you?” (which, let’s be honest, he sent more than I did 😄), he stayed right there, consistently popping up, checking in, and yes… keeping a close eye on things. Both of us being loyal Liverpool fans only made it easier for him there was always a match, a score, or a reason for him to start a conversation. 20 years the man was consistent!!!

What started as a quiet connection all those years ago has grown into a love that feels like home,this time, with intention, courage, and a love that had patiently waited its turn. And now, after all the distance, the timing, and the journey… we are finally walking into our forever together. 🤍

Deep down, we always knew there was something real between us. It just needed the right time. And when life finally aligned, and the moment came where we were both ready… we chose each other fully, intentionally, and without hesitation.

We first met during high school holiday lessons for A-Level. What started as a distant friendship always carried something deeper beneath the surface.

After finishing school, we tried to turn that connection into something more, but long distance—and, if we’re honest, my lack of patience and maturity at the time—meant it wasn’t our moment yet.

Life took us in different directions, but we never truly lost touch. Over the years our conversations became more frequent (thanks to our shared love for Liverpool). In 2022, we decided to take a chance on us again.

This time, with growth, perseverance, and true love on our side, our story found its way back—and led us to where we are today.
