Our Love Story: How We Got Here
Act I: The Coincidence February 2019. It was her very first day at a new job, navigating the usual office nerves, when she crossed paths with Ezra. He had recently moved from Port Elizabeth to Joburg and bought a place in Midrand. When she mentioned she also lived in Midrand, they did some mapping and realized the universe had played matchmaker: Ezra’s new place was down the exact same street. Act II: The "Jameson" Contract Seeing a perfect opportunity (or just a clever excuse to hang out with the new girl), Ezra made an executive business proposal: “Let’s carpool.” But gas money wasn't going to cut it. Ezra laid down his terms with absolute legal precision. His required compensation for chauffeuring services? One bottle of Jameson Select Reserve. No substitutions. The contract was signed, the whiskey was locked in, and the morning commutes began Act III: The "Old Married Couple" What started as a practical carpool quickly turned into a deep, effortless friendship. In fact, they bypassed the polite "getting to know you" phase entirely and went straight into pure, unfiltered banter. Before long, the entire office was placing bets on them. Everyone at work would laugh and tease them, constantly saying: "You two argue exactly like an old married couple!" As it turns out, our coworkers weren't just teasing—they were predicting the future. Act IV: The Upgrade From those morning drives, endless teasing, and a shared bottle of whiskey, a best-friendship grew into the deepest love. The banter never stopped, but the partnership became forever. Seven years after our office friends called it, we are officially making their predictions a reality. On November 28, 2026, the carpool officially turns into a marriage. We can’t wait to celebrate the ride of our lives with you! (And yes, Jameson will be served).
