June ‘09, braai smoke in the air, The chatter of friends, new faces over there, This is where Marica met Jon And here is the story of how they got on.
A beer festival in Kent in a cowshed she stood, Glamorous green wellies squelching the mud, Swapping their numbers they knew they’d meet soon And dinner in Canterbury was playing their tune.
Frozen Margueritas, Duck fajitas, a bottle of wine, They both loved Cape Town, it must be a sign! Marica was planning Christmas alone, So Jon intervened: “hey, come to my home�
An icy drive up to the Saddleworth hills, Seasonal festivities and sledging thrills, Swapping of presents, fun in the snow, Fireside evenings to thaw out their toes.
Six months of fun, it’s New Year 0-nine, Dancing all night it felt the right time, “We’re more than good friends – we need a plan” A couple they became from the first of Jan.
Twenty eleven and engagement beckoned Jon plucked up courage – got more than he reckoned! Marica said “maybe…but first ask permission” “Ja asseblief” was Tertius’ decision.
