We knew each other from a far for a couple of years since we went to the same church. I would say I first noticed him during our friend's wedding in 2020. We were paired to dance together at the wedding and I thought to myself he is kinda cute. According to him he didn't feel any spark until after the wedding but I don't believe him. I think he liked me too from the wedding but could not admit to it.

A few weeks after the wedding, this beautiful girl kept coming to my mind. I could not shake it off so I eventually approached her in the DM's. It started off as a simple chat to check how her driving test went and from there we hit it off. We moved from one hour phone calls to seven hour calls very quickly. Two months after chatting with her I asked her to be my girlfriend. In typical Thoko fashion, she made me wait for almost half a day before she could give me a response.

I knew from the first day I approached her that she was going to be my wife. A few months after our one year anniversary I asked her to spend the rest of her life with me and she said yes.
