PICS: Basetsana and Romeo Kumalo celebrate 18 years of marriage

Johannesburg - Power couple Basetsana and Romeo Kumalo have celebrated 18 years of marriage, reliving their big day with their kids by their side.

Bassie wrote a loving message to her husband, thanking him for the time they have spent together so far.

"21 years of being together and 18 years of being married has been my greatest joy. Thank you for all that you have taught me. I feel like we grew up together and raised each other, since we were so young when we got married and what we just wanted to do was to be together no matter what. We wanted to have a family, travel, run businesses, have fun and just be, so many dreams we had in our younger days and so blessed that most by grace we have been granted, [sic]" the note reads in part. 

The star also shared another post of herself with her kids, mentioning that even though they were not around on her wedding day, she got to relive the experience with them on her 18th anniversary.

"So the tribe have always asked why they were not at the wedding in 2000, trying to explain to a 6 year old and a 4 year old that they were not born has been a mission, so they asked us to get married again today, so they can be part of it...today they got to be part of our special day, and cut the cake. [sic]"

18 years ago I walked down the isle with my father in hand to marry the love of my life, my heart person, my inspiration, one who brings me immense joy and pleasure. You looked me deep in my eyes and promised to love me and protect me, and you have lived up to those vows and so much more. You believe in me, you want the best for me, you push me when I doubt myself, you celebrate my achievements like they are your own. You look at me as only YOU can, you laugh at my lame jokes, you go to war for me ....I have never known this kind of love. Thank you for choosing me. I would choose you over many lifetimes. I love doing this thing called life with you. It’s a great and beautiful adventure, never a dull moment. You are an extraordinary dad to our kids. Wow I marvel at you and how you parent. You are no walk in the park with them but you are so present and engaged. You still make me laugh uncontrollably. 21 years of being together and 18 years of being married has been my greatest joy. Thank you for all that you have taught me. I feel like we grew up together and raised each other, since we were so young when we got married and what we just wanted to do was to be together no matter what. We wanted to have a family, travel, run businesses, have fun and just be, so many dreams we had in our younger days and so blessed that most by Grace we have been granted. You have given me that and so much more. Ngiyabonga Mbulaz’omnyama, Mashobane, Mntungwa. Uthando lwakho lungenze umuntu emphakathini. Mina nawe sofa’slahlane. I wish you long life, I wish you eternal joy, I wish you peace, I wish you health and I wish you all that you wish for yourself. Thank you for making me the happiest and content woman. I love you.
