OUR STORY
where it all began
Their modern day love story began in July of 2019. Graeme took Elmarie out for their first proper date on her 22nd birthday at the Maslow Hotel in Sandton.
That following September, Graeme whisked Elmarie away to Ballito and asked her to be his girlfriend. The couple has shared many treasured memories – indulging at beer festivals, taking trips to the Kruger, and heading down to Cape Town to support the Ulster men. The two have also experienced the testings of long distance dating.
This Ulster man not only fell in love with South Africa but also an Afrikaner.
Graeme arranged a surprise holiday to celebrate their 4th anniversary to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe where he popped the question at the 8th viewpoint by the falls.
The next chapter of their love story begins...
