How did your love story begin?

 

As a little girl I always believed in true love that one my prince charming would fine me ,and I thought i met him but sadly I was mistaken. I fell for all his lies ,he cheated on me and while I was pregnant I found out he was married and he didnt even have the decency to tell me.I saw it all on Facebook and from that day I promised myself to focus on myself and my son.Show him that I am a strong and independent women .I found myself basically giving up on finding true love after things didn't work out between myself and my son's father. I started my cosmetic career at a retailer where a mature woman (My now soon to be mother inlaw) took me under her wing. She jokingly mentioned that I'm gonna be her daughter in law. I eventually met her son and well ... The rest is history. This is really to honour this dear woman, who raised her son to be the Man of my Dreams...

Tell us all about the proposal.

 

After being friends for 6 months,he courted me in August 2018. Then in December 2018 I was at his house and just not having a good day, he then told we that we should dress up and go out. When I got home my mother (wich already knew that he was gonna propose that day) was making a big fuss about what I wear and the way i looked, I still didn't realise that something big was gonna happen that day. Jamile then asked me to meet him at Cape Gate and said that we will go out after that. When I got there he told he told me that he just wanted to show me a watch at NWJ wich I didn't find strange as I knew that he loves watches. When we got in the shop I didn't realise that a love song was playing in the background wich normally didn't happen. He then suddenly told me that the watch was not there anymoreand walked towards the rings and pointed 1 out and asked if I liked it. He then told me to try it on aswel and I fell ok love with it imedietly once I told him that it's actually very nice and that I liked it alot he told me to check the price and on the price tag it said " will you marry me" ...he really cought me off guard and planned everything so well. Once I accepted the ladies took out a bunch of my favourite roses and the ladies at NWJ was kind enough to capture our beautiful moment aswel.
I will always be ever greatful to the team at NWJ Cape Gate.
