How did you meet? Richard and I met through a friend one night. We were both out and we were introduced. After that we kept running into each other. Finally after months of seeing each other, Sarah was out at the same place for her best friend’s Bachelorette party. That night they kissed and after that started dating. How did he propose? Rich proposed to Sarah at a private club in the Bahamas. It is an amazing restaurant on the beach and we went there because it was Sarah’s birthday. After dinner we went upstairs for a drink on the veranda and he gave her a gift. The ring was wrapped in a shoe box...

How did you meet? Growing up in the same neighbourhood; hanging out in the same circle of friends; going to the same teenager parties; eagerly anticipating the next summer month to get a glimpse of Laetitia in shorts or a skirt… Hey, it was simply a matter of time before the Gods, not to mention the brides’ perseverance – she took ten months to convince him we were meant to be, brought us together… How did he propose? After nine and a half years together he finally decided to pop the question… (smile). He completely surprised her with a trip to Johannesburg (a trip she’s always wanted to...
