Wedding bells are ringing for two young ladies, Ankia and Tilana, who recently won the wedding of their dreams, valued at a whopping R464 600.
Ankia and Tilana’s story celebrates love through life’s simplest but most special moments – dancing on a gravel road, sitting on the kitchen floor, and simply using every given moment to celebrate their love for each other.
Love brought Ankia and Tilana together not through grand gestures or expensive gifts, but through finding joy by doing the smaller things together. Holding hands, sharing a laugh, or just being with each other was enough to set the butterflies off.
Once they had taken flight, the couple’s love blossomed into a deep connection that transcended words. As time went by, their love only grew stronger. They continued to dance on gravel roads, sit on kitchen floors, and celebrate every moment they had together. And even though they faced many obstacles along the way, they never lost sight of what was truly important: their love for each other.
Ultimately, their love story is not one of grand gestures or dramatic moments. It’s a story of two young people who found each other and knew they were meant to be together. A story of a love that is simple, yet philosophical. A story of a love that’s grounded on the small things in life, but that is powerful enough to last a lifetime.
Ankia and Tilana decided to dream big when they entered our WIN A WEDDING giveaway, which ran across Habari titles including Woman&Home, Rooi Rose, Getaway and Bona in 2023.
Ankia and Tilana – along with two other couples who made it through the judges’ rigorous selection process – were interviewed by the competition’s judging panel and in the end, the young couple’s love conquered all and landed them the wedding of their dreams!
