Our Love Story

​

We actually crossed paths 11 years ago when Tameka was working at the Red Lion Hotel. There was some small talk and a follow up friend request on Facebook but not much more. However, as the years passed, they did keep in touch via socials and kept an eye on each other's life journey. And during that time, they grew to know more about each other and what they saw, they liked.

Now fast forward to 2020 -the start of lockdowns, toilet paper brawls in the supermarket and 5 reasons you were allowed to leave your home! One of those reasons happened to be exercise, which lucky for these two, they both love. Ballarat's default weather pattern was in full swing, it was raining, windy and freezing cold and Tameka and Matt were both out in it. Matt training for a marathon and Tameka just getting her daily exercise. Tameka posted about it and Matt took the opportunity and just slid straight into her DMs suggesting they might like to exercise together one day "what about today?" Sharp move Matt! And that, family and friends is how we all ended up here today!

Tameka and Matt had been waiting for the right one to come along. Waiting for the one who simply adored them. The kind of person who would bring out the best in themselves and make them want to be a better person, the person with the same passion for weight training who would drop everything to be with them at any time no matter what the circumstances; the person who would make them smile with their similar dark humour as no one else did. Matt and Tameka had found the one in each other, and over the years from those walks around Ballarat, they took up their next adventure.

They grew close rapidly and within a few months, they became 'official'. From there they worked to combine their lives and bring their worlds together; they befriended each other's mates and were thrilled to be welcomed by each other's families.
