Man proposes marriage on lobola day- Mzansi is impressed

Love is in the air as we are in the month of love, with Valentine’s Day approaching we are expecting to witness all kinds of love; from romantic love to platonic, familial and self-love.

Valentine’s Day is known to be a special day for lovers, that is when love gestures and love stories are expected. However, this TikTok user headlined the celebrations with a heartwarming video of a man proposing marriage to his partner on the day of Lobola negotiations.

In the clip shared by username, @roserapudi a man walks inside his partner’s homestead right after the negotiations with a bouquet of red roses. When he approaches the yard, his daughter runs to him and he picks her up, and they go together to his partner. He then goes down on one knee and takes out the ring and asks her to marry him. As expected, the lady agrees, and the rest of the family jubilates while they share a kiss; with their little one dancing.

The lovable trio was dressed in matching outfits for the occasion.
