South African couple wins big with a wedding of their dreams

by Staff Bona
Ankia and Tilana, two young ladies, are about to tie the knot after winning the wedding of their dreams, valued at R464 600.
Their love story revolves around cherishing life’s simplest yet most meaningful moments – from dancing on gravel roads to sitting together on the kitchen floor. Their bond was not built on extravagant gestures or lavish gifts, but rather on finding joy in the little things they shared, like holding hands and sharing laughter.

Despite facing obstacles, they remained steadfast in their love for each other. Their story is not about grand gestures but about the profound connection they share, rooted in simplicity yet enduring enough to last a lifetime.
After participating in the WIN A WEDDING giveaway across various 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!
