Sometimes love begins with a cup of coffee, uncontrollable laughter, and overstaying our welcome wherever we were, just to steal a few more minutes together.

A little bit of background:
We knew of each other back in school, crossing the same halls and living through the same seasons, but we never really knew one another.

Ten years later, everything shifted over one simple coffee. That one cup turned into many more,.. every day after work. What started as a coffee date became countless conversations, inside jokes, adventures, and those everyday moments that somehow made life so much brighter.

After dating for two years, Juan proposed on a hiking trip in Tulbagh, surrounded by breathtaking scenery and mountains. Just before the big question, Juan casually said, “I spy with my little eye something… black.” After a long struggle, Tyra finally turned around, looking for something black... only to find Juan down on one knee, holding a perfect black diamond ring.

At that exact moment, a sudden wind swept over the mountain.... it felt like the Holy Spirit was right there with us. And when Tyra said yes, the wind stilled, leaving only the two of us, grinning and breathless.

Our story isn’t just about how we met or how many years passed, it’s about timing, growth, and finally finding each other when it made sense. We may have missed each other once, but this time, we’re exactly where we’re meant to be. And this time, it’s forever.
