Teneal & Wiehan

Ages: Him 19 and her 21

Status: Engaged

How did you meet?: We met on my first night in Stellenbosch and the moment I laid eyes upon him I knew he was my soul mate. The moment I saw him I had to talk to him but needed an excuse so even though I didn’t smoke, I bummed a cigarette and asked him for a lighter. He proceeded to ask if we could share the cigarette and we did. Afterwards he said he didn’t smoke and well, neither did I haha. He asked me though what brand to start buying if he could see me… We have seen each other every day since and still own the lighter from that night.

When did you realize you were in love?: Love at first sight .. literally!

What qualities in each other make you a good match?: We are soul mates and Our souls connect like none other…*

What is your perfect date night?: Dvd’s, stormy weather, popcorn, fairy lights and tea… because as my Afrikaans fiance says, “tee troos al toos” xxx

What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced as a couple and how did you get through it?: My father lost his job and my student loan got denied… Wiehan and his family are currently helping me overcome this obstacle in my studies and our lives. If not for my man’s constant support and love I would not still be afforded the opportunity to study. He has kept me strong in my weakest moments… He is my rock.

What is one thing you would like to improve about your relationship?: Honestly…. the only thing that comes to mind is his stinky feet haha :p

What advice would you go back and give yourselves when you just started dating?: To communicate as well as we do now… To be honest from the start and to never be selfish. To always consider your partner’s feelings and to put yourself in their position.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful love story with us Teneal & Wiehan! Your Lovetrip is just beginning but you seem happy beyond your years!
