Julia & Solomon
It seems unlikely that a task as boring as bed shopping can lead to a person finding their true love, but for 24-year-old Julia, that’s exactly how her love story unfolded.
A reluctant shopping trip on behalf of her sister saw Julia meeting a very eager-to-help Solomon, our 28-year-old groom, who was determined to make sure Julia found the perfect bed.
The bed was an instant perfect match, but it took Solomon a full year of sweet-talking Julia to convince her that he was her perfect match, as she had decided to give dating a miss and focus on raising her three-month-old daughter.
After having finally managed to secure a first date with her, Solomon’s mind was made up. He was covinced it would be the last first date for them both; he would make her his wife! True enough, two months later he asked for her hand and she happily accepted.
It’s the couple’s differences that makes them so well suited to each other. Julia describes herself as crazy and stubborn, while Solomon is the picture of calmness; together they’re the perfect fit.
It’s not just Solomon’s sales skills that are noteworthy, he’s quite a whizz in the kitchen too, a skill that endears him even more to his lady, whom he spoils with breakfast in bed and daily home-cooked dinners, no matter how tired he is.
It will be a beautiful fusion of Sesotho and Sepedi cultures when the young couple solidify their union and write the next exciting chapter in their love story as man and wife.
