Rumbi and Tom’s Wedding

HOW WE MET
We are feeling super pumped about this couple!! Some would call ours an unexpected match. We met online – at a time when we both were ready to take a break from dating.

Tom reached out to connect and made it a point to visit me while I was living in a different town at that time.

A few weeks later, thanks to good counsel from close friends, we made it official. We’ve been together since October 2019. Our roora was in April 2022 and our official ceremony was in September 2022.

ADVICE
I wouldn’t really say there’s one piece of advice that fits all. From personal experience, what was key for us was to realise that every wedding journey is different. The most important thing for us was to keep focused on the goal which was ultimately to start building our life together. Weddings are great but it’s the ‘After I Do’ that was key for us.

In addition , we’d spent months preparing for our wedding and even though there were a few hiccups here and there, the key for us was to be fully present and take in our day. We absolutely did that and thoroughly enjoyed it as a result.

It was back in 2016 where i was a shop assistant at Edgars, one of those ‘not so busy’ afternoons. A guy came in, he was light and tall and pretty. He came towards me and said ‘hie’. To myself i thought the guy was so pretty but i also thought he was a customer anyway. He was looking for a feminine present. According to him he was buying for her sister but i later found out it was his girlfriend’s. I was soo friendly to him so i helped him look for the present though he ddn actually buy, all he could say was im coming back lol. He came back i think for 5 consecutive days but now he would say he was coming for a hie thing. We exchanged numbers, we became friends. Things were flowing and we were really having fun. He would visit me and we would talk for hours, going out and all.Though, at that time, i was in a relationship and he was also in a relationship. So it ddn go anywhere lol it was one of those that end at the talking stage. I wanted him to ask me out lol but he ddn , we talked i think for more than a year but with no action. Eventually in 2018 we lost touch……

we spent 2years without a word. In 2020, man called around September. Honestly i had totally forgotten about him🤣🤣off course there were times where i would jus think where the guy was but well..So he said we needed to catch up and all. We spent 3months talking until around December he started asking me out. I would always ask why he wanted me and all he would say is ‘i wanna put a ring on that finger’. To me it was jus one of those😂😂you know a guy telling you he wants to marry you from the first date..I decided to date him, we dated for 1 year 10 months and it was chocolates and roses😍the level of understanding between us is priceless..in October this year he decided to marry me. He kept his promise, he put a ring on my finger. I am just grateful

Simba And Sharon

One thing about Love..it will always find you …. …Simba (fiancé) was in Taiyuan city, China doing Masters degree in mechanical engineering and Sharrony (fiancée) was in Shanghai city, China studying bachelors degree in international business. So we met through a mutual friend who connected us. The initial connection was online and we started talking. Then one thing led to the other and we began dating. That’s in 2019. From 2019 to present we would visit each other every opportunity we got. Our visits were affected by the pandemic though, it got affected to the extend that we spent a whole year without seeing each other between 2020 and 2021. But we kept close contact and communication through calls, video calls and texts. The pandemic didn’t affect us much because right from the beginning the vision was set and clear. So, basically that’s what has led us to this engagement
