How did your love story begin?

 

Me and my fiance we meet in 1998 we both were at school we loved each other the first time we were together at my friends place the was a party and people came with their girlfriends and i was alone he came to me and asked me if it's OK to seat next to me and i said its OK then we started talking and seeing each other more often till now we still together it's been 20yrs

Tell us all about the proposal.

 

I was pregnant with my late son and he was so scared that my father will chase me away because of him so he decided to tell his parents and they send a letter to my father to ask him to come over to pay lobola after that i had a stillborn baby so that breaks us out so we decided to wait up until i felt pregnant again then he send people to pay lobola before i gave birth on the day of lobola he proposed to me and i said yes
