Tameka & Andre
Tameka and Andre first met on the 27th of August, 2021, after they both ‘swiped right’ on Bumble. After multiple rescheduled meetings due to covid, and months of messaging each other, their first date was in Andre’s old stomping ground of Brunswick. Tameka drove from work to meet up for gelato and a rhubarb pie. Fortunately, they were out of pie, which Andre took as an opportunity for a second date.
Tameka and Andre have been inseparable ever since, enjoying gelato in Port Douglas, becoming parents to sweet Maisie and Francesca, and ever hoping to increase their Saturday quiz score.
“It took some persistence. We messaged each other for a few months before we actually met. Once we did meet, I was taken by her authenticity and warmth.”
— Andre
“I sometimes wonder what would have happened if we’d both given up on ever meeting. I can no longer imagine a version of my life without Andre. He both challenges me to grow and loves me as I am. He makes me a better human. It’s a precious and rare thing.”
— Tameka
This was the place Andre set up on Brighton beach to propose to Tameka.
