The couple met every day and soon developed a deep connection quickly.

They spoke for hours on the phone and met in person five days later. As he was between jobs, she was in between projects, they were both free and thus able to meet on a daily basis. That was perhaps the main reason why they were able to get to know each other intimately despite the short time span.

Sheila accepted Deon's proposal in Hokkaido, after just six months of dating. Talk about fast!

"I thought it was so romantic that he was so sure that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me." She quipped.

Previously in her past relationships, she put extreme pressure on herself as she kept telling herself that the relationship could not fail no matter what.

"It inflicted a lot of unnecessary stress on me. Later, I learnt not to let my past control my present; it was around this time I met Deon."

"With Deon, I decided that my relationship didn't have to be perfect. I wanted to just go with the flow, and not let the idea of 'what if' affect me."

Sheila that it's important for couples to be tolerant of each other. That is the key to happiness.

Sheila thinks that a couple needs to quarrel "logically" and not fight with emotions. A couple should never bring in past baggage or emotions.

Though 6 months seems a little crazy even in Sheila's own words, she believes that when the right one comes along, you just know it! Which is why she decided to say yes so quickly even though it was a whirlwind courtship.
