It is being done discreetly, and I will be attending.\u201d  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">Meyer matriculated from Port Natal High School in Umbilo in 2008.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">A former teacher, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the couple had begun dating when Meyer was in Grade 12.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">\u201cWhen they started dating, we were very excited and thrilled for her. She did not let their relationship affect her schoolwork, as she continued to do well,\u201d said the teacher. <\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">\u201cWe have been reading in the newspapers that she will be getting married to the rugby star. She was one of my good students and was very sweet, a lovely girl.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facebook In this picture posted on Facebook, Linca Meyer shares a moment with her fianc\ufffd, Springbok and Sharks centre Francois Steyn.
