3 Months later...........
It's crazy how my life changed in a whole three months. It's crazy how happiness easily comes and easily goes. It's crazy how I feel so alive and content with my life.
Today is one of the most happiest days in my life , the day that I'm going to say I do to the love of my life. The day that my heart is going to be fulfilled with happiness joy and pride.
The day I threw my ego away and accepted It's no more about me only but also about my partner. Today I'm getting married to the one that makes me have a purpose .
The past three months have been the best firstly I learned that I was pregnant and I'm on my 4th month. The past 3 months I've been planning for my big day. The day I make myself and my family happy.
I'm fully prepared the only thing left is for me is to go down the isle. Im wearing a mermaid see through dress that also shows my baby bump. Well I also cut my hair of, meaning all of it. Tomorrow is my coronation with my husband. The day we take the throne and rule the Zulu kingdom.
Today I'm walking down the isle alone ,I wanna change things I wanna hand myself to him. My family already handed me to him during our lobola and traditional wedding but no I need to show him that not only I'm handing myself to him but all of him to me.
There about 200 attending the reception and others will be broadcasted live on tv then the celebration will be held at on cruise and around 2000 people will be there.
I find myself nearing the reception doors and the music starts getting louder. This is it I think I'm going to be fully someone's wife and not just someone but Mthunzi's wife. The doors open and everyone is staring at me with smiles on their faces, but I shift focus to my lovely husband who looks like his about to breakdown.
I take slow steps toward him with the rhythm of the song , every step I take the more he gets emotional making my heart also miss a beat and my breathing to stop for a second. I also feel tears fighting to be released but I hold them back. I'm wearing a veil but it does not cover my face I wanted me and him to see eye to eye.
I stop in front of him and bow . The poster starts with his preaching. I listened to what the pastor had to say and I fully heard him. The time for us to say our vows came .
"I believe both of you have your own vows". I nod. "We'll let the groom start". Mthunzi looks at me in the eyes.
"Love is crazy and confusing was what I thought before I met you, then I met you and I definitely knew that love was truly crazy and confusing. I've went through a lot due our love. I've faced heartbreak,pain ,depression and many more but it was worth it at the end. The crazy part is I've heard people say that love is not supposed to hurt but ours hurt so bad baby. What's crazy is that I became patient with you I never gave up . Grandpa told me that loving you won't be easy and all and I believed him . There were days people used to tell me you would not comeback to me but my heart and mind told me you'll come back. When it comes to you my heart and mind always agree. Una you caught my heart the minute my eyes saw you the minute you breathed next to my space the minute you told me I was rude for not greeting you. I fell in love with what your presence does to people I fell in love with how your name makes them nervous as you always say ' Nicki Minaj said say my name make em nervous' . Una I promise to love cherish and be with you through it all . I also promise to be a good dad to our bundle coming and the kid we have and the kids we are going to have. I promise to be your husband and till death do us apart my Donna my empress". I was a crying mess . The then slipped the ring on and kissed my finger.
"Such strong vows now it's the ladies turn".
"Mthunzi , the father of my kids ,the keeper of my heart and soul. Dating all those men instead of you felt wrong and I used to ask myself what's wrong with me, but I never got the answer till the day I sat down and looked and you. I knew that it was not them that I wanted it was you . I was so afraid of commitment that I went to the wrong places. Carrying this little baby I'm me makes me happy cause I know we've found our future king ,our missing piece. I would go beyond anything to make sure your happy baby. You know I'm a woman of a few words but all I want to say is I appreciate you and thank you for being patient with me . I've hurt you in so many ways that I sometimes feel like hating myself for making you go through all that but I also remember that we all have to go through a tough patch before finding our purpose. I love you with everything and I promise to be a good loving, responsible,caring and loyal wife and mom. I promise and vow to be there through. Till death Sthuli". I put the ring on his finger.
"Those were strong words". The wedding went on and on.
The day went by smoothly and I can't wait for tomorrow.

Mthunzi
The day has arrived where me and my queen become the rulers of the Zulu kingdom. After years of training for this it has finally came . I'm so happy I now get to fulfill the duty of being king . I get to embrace being the chosen one. I get to connect with my ancestors on a higher level.
Me and my wife are changing wearing our attire we woke up around two to go to the mountains and came back around four and slaughtered a goat to ask our ancestors to be able to be there with us as we perform this ceremony and for permission to do this ceremony.
Our ancestors are going to respond with the atmosphere instead of the hydrosphere. That's how the Zulu works.
Me and my wife are done dressing and we look like goats straight up. No offence we only have goat skin on and cow intestines on our body but I really don't mind. Una is the only one complaining .
"Babe this is wet why ". She's also pouting. She looks so cute
"It's intestines so they are obviously wet baby".
"Omg this ceremony has to hurry up".I laugh at her silliness
"Ngiya'kutanda yezwa". I kiss her cheek.
"Not more than I do".
"Who said so?". I raise my eyebrow at her.
"I just know". She responds walking out "now let's go and take our seat my king".
"After you my queen".
We were welcomed my the seer standing next to the 2 chairs in the throne.
"My king im gonna need your wife to cleanse the 2 chairs". I just nod in response and Una gets up.
She takes the water and spit her spit in , she shakes the bottle saying the clan names.
Ndabezitha
Zulu kamalandela ngokulandela izinkomo zamadoda
Zulu omonyama ondelela zimhlophe
Wena kaPhunga noMageba
Wena kaMjokwane kaNdaba
Wena wenkayishana kaMenzi eyaphuza umlaza ngameva
S'thuli sikaNdaba
S'thuli sikaNkombane
Wena kasihhaawuhhawu siyinkondlo bayikuzile ngoba ikhuzwe abaphansi nabaphezulu
Wena kanogwaja Okuhle ngonlenze
Wena kaMbambelashobo
Ndabezitha
She comes back and stand next to me.
The seer also connect with the ancestors.
"You can go sit now my king and queen ". I take my wife's hand and we go sit on our chairs and I feel the strength enter my body and as the spear starts twitching in my hand.
The seer starts shouting the praises of our ancestors with my beast groaning .
"I welcome you King Ndabezitha and Queen Ingwe ".
The wind starts blowing harshly.
"It is done". I say.
All the men in my family start growling with their beast
