How he popped the question:
When we met at Cubana in June 2007, he already had his airtickets booked for his holiday to visit his mother and friends back home (Hungary). He was booked to leave Cape Town on 10 July 2007, and on Saturday 7 July 2007, while having green tea at Cubana Newlands, he invited me to join him in Europe. Without a pause, I said yes! He left on 10 July and I left Cape Town on 31 July and met him in Munich. We then traveled to Italy and he proposed to me in Venice!

Special Moments:
Kieraan arrived before me in a separate convertible Jacquar at the Mount Nelson Hotel. So, when I arrived, he waited for me outside the main entrance. My son was driving with me, and was suppose to open my door for me. However, hubby couldn’t wait and rushed to my door and were stunned to see me for the first time in my RED designer wedding gown! He just stood there and said: “That’s my wife!” I felt so proud to finally be Mrs Matuz!
