Amanda AND Eckardt
Holy Sh*t it's Time for Matrimony
Bride AND Groom
Eckardt
Amanda
He was a boy, She was a girl, could they make it anymore
obvious?
They met in 2012 on the street next to a road (no not what you
think!) through Amanda's best friend. It took a while for them to actually start talking
Like FIVE whole Years ! Amanda went to Eldoraigne and Eckardt went to Sutherland, funny enough, the only thing preventing them from meeting was ONE gate ... ( literally ... there was only one gate that is, TO THIS DAY seperating the two schools.. ?)
So the next chapter started in 2017 when she reluctantly
decided to go on a date with him. But from then on they have
been inseparable.
A few months after they started dating, they moved in together and during that time, they were both welcomed to each others' families with open arms. Amanda did the cooking (not so much anymore ... Eckardt kicked her out of the Kitchen. Yes, he is a better cook than her now) and Eckardt did.. uhh.. where were we?
Forwarding all the way through to 2023, Amanda still forces Eckardt to eat his Veggies and Eckardt secretly throws them away ( Oh, we all know by now the type of relationship Eckardt has with his veggies and windows.. ) and they spring clean their house almost every week.. ? Wait, what?
One of the things Amanda loves most about Eckardt is that he has the, biggest and kindest heart and very high on the list on things Eckardt loves about Amanda is that he never has to worry about her eating his Biltong.
Anyways ... Sticking to the trend of
FIVE Years ... Five Years later they
got engaged and now it's time for them to finally TIE THE KNOT.
