Our Wedding

So in March 2015 Patricia saw a flyer on the lamp pole in Edenglen advertising a Free Bootcamp in Edenvale, she contacted JP who was the bootcamp coach at the time and she joined the bootcamp... One of those campers that used to linger around waiting for a few minutes to chat to JP after bootcamp, so it continued... A few months went by and JP didn't really realise that Patricia was flurting, thank goodness first impressions aren't always important, but wont elaborate on that... anyways it took a friend Kelly to take JP's phone and after reading all the messages back and forward told JP how blind he was and that Patricia was flurting with him.We went on dates, dinners and movies and when JP dropped Patricia off, no kisses, just a goodbye hug... With us gettting into that unofficial-official status JP decided to make his move...on the 21st July 2015, JP invited Patricia to dinner on his sister's birthday because he planned the whole thing without realising. With the help of his Best friend Kyleigh, he managed to organise a bouquet of white roses, with a red rose in the centre, and attached to the centre rose was a little note was "Ma che bello questo amore... Vuoi tu la mia ragazza?"... Not realising that Patriicia's italian wasn't up to scratch, she didn't realise that JP was actually trying to ask her to be his girlfriend. Anyways, after that evening that's where it all started...

How it all started...

JP and Patricia had been dating for a year and 2 months, and after JP met with Liviana and Andre prior to their overseas trip, planning the perfect ring was a must.... using all of Patricia's ideas and pictures with the personalisation of her love for horses a beautiful unique ring was designed...So they had an International Herbalife event in Prague, Czech Republic, but decided to detour before the event and spent a few nights in Rome, Italy... When they arrived JP was so scared of the ring getting lost that the first day in Rome was "The Day", they went onto a hop on- hop-off bus through the city of Rome, passed the Colleseum, the Vatican City, the Piazza di Spanga, The roman forum, and a few other tourist attractions until they got to "La Fontana di Trevi", the Trevi fountain was the place JP has thought would be the most beautiful and romantic place. (Wishful thinking)...The place was jam packed with tourists, and they could bearly move, but JP managed to find a quiet spot to the right side of the fountain where they threw a euro into the Trevi fountain, and as the wish was made, He said to Patricia, "There is one more wish, would you marry me?", Patricia was so excited and tears of joy roled down her cheeks. The moment was incredible and they then took tons of photo's, spend the rest of the day roaming around Rome as a newly engaged couple.
