Nicole and Darryl

Boy meets Girl - how did you meet; where did the magic begin?

We were set up on a blind date at Primi Piatti and it stormed so badly that we couldn’t leave.

How would you describe yourselves?

We are a fun-loving couple. I am more reserved and Darryl is more outgoing, so we complement each other well.

When did he propose and how did he pop the big question?

9th October 2015 on Patong beach in Thailand. The location was just beautiful, and Darryl organised everything – he even thought to organise a local photographer to capture that precious moment. We were walking along the beach and I wasn’t wearing my contact lenses, so it really was a surprise when we arrived at the beautifully set up table on the beach and he got down on one knee!

Why and how did you decide on an engagement shoot? Did you specifically book it or was it an extra offered to you when you booked your photographer?

Our shoot was an awesome included extra from our talented photographer

Where did you shoot your engagement shoot and how is the location linked to you?

It was shot at the Emmerentia Botanical gardens - a recommendation from our photographer.

Did he choose your bling or did you pick your ring together?

He picked my gorgeous BLING and I couldn’t be happier!!
