It seems like only yesterday when the country first gushed over the breathtaking images from Siyabonga ‘Slikour’ Metane and Melissa Wilkinson Metane’s white wedding.
But in fact, it has been 12 full months of what looks like wedded bliss.
The couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary yesterday, 14 October.
In moving tributes to one another, they both shared what their union means to them on social media.
Melissa thanked her man for being her best friend and lover.
“I’ll take my time just to be thankful that I have had 365 days full of you. Thank you for being my confidant, best friend and lover. Let us continue to learn and teach each other that love is about sensitivity, passion and unconditional giving of self to another person. Not only have I seen the Truth in your eyes, but You are TIME in Itself... for You My Love are My Past, My Present and My Future,” she said to the rapper," she said.
Meanwhile, Slikour wrote about how Melissa had completely changed his perception of what dreams are truly made of.
“As boys we fascinated by how much money or how many luxury cars or material things others have. You then get married and your fascination becomes of something money can’t buy.....time. When you hear other people say they’ve been married for 20 to 30 years you look to them with so much fascination and respect for that time. Marriage doesn’t kill our dreams, love or innocence nor does it remove the challenges, temptations, distractions, complacency or any of our sins. Ironically it puts them all on a spotlight and it’s a path to confront our strengths and weaknesses with someone who has the time and faith to see you find the best version of yourself in the journey of life, with love being in the middle of it. So @melissa_iam my friend, my love it’s only a year of us supporting each other to be the best version of ourselves. As long as life wakes us up every morning it will be a life time task, i don’t only ask for time but the love to be constantly in between us in this journey of highs and lows. Happy First Anniversary and blessings to more time and love,” he said.
Fans and fellow celebs have wished the couple continued love and strength in their marriage.
