What is true love? What is real love? Love that has no hidden agendas doesnât need much. Itâs not fancy meals at fancy restaurants or fancy rings and fancy weddings. When you love someone truly, that special connection is all that matters. This story about a couple who got engaged after proposing at KFC is proof of that kind of love. Real love is not based on material things or othersâ opinions.
This woman tried to shame a couple for proposing at KFC
Hector Mkansi and Nonhlanhla Soldaat were dining at a local KFC when he popped the question.
âThe team at the restaurant was surprised at the request, but they were helpful in creating the big moment. We received our meals, and when she looked inside, she found the rings, and thatâs when I went down on my knee.â
Hector Mkansi
While you might think the same way this woman did, we tend to think the exact opposite.
A woman named Anele posted a tweet about the proposal. Trying to destroy their special moment. In the tweet, she shamelessly wrote, âSA men are so broke they propose at KFC.. they have absolutely no class, I mean who proposes at KFC #KFCPropsalâ.
Thankfully, her horrible and nasty tweet was since removed and she even set her profile to private.[1]
KFC decided to try to find the couple
The video footage of Hector proposing at KFC went viral, and it did not take long until KFC tried to find the happy couple.
The internet did not fail to disappoint in helping locate the newly engaged couple. And thanks to all the media attention the proposal footage received, a few more corporations jumped in to help support them on their new journey.
Hereâs what proposing at KFC did for Hector and Nonhlanhla. They received countless gifts from some very generous companies and people who loved their story![2]
Huawei gave both Hector Nonhlanhla a brand new cell phone and Puma kitted them out in an estimated $680 worth of merchandise!
Koo food gifted around $1,400 worth of groceries to the couple
McDonaldâs helped the couple attain their dream of having a honeymoon by offering them an all-expenses-paid trip to beautiful Cape Town, including VIP access to a Toni Braxton concert!
And, adding to McDonaldâs gift, Uber offered to sort out any transportation they would need while on their honeymoon.
We donât think hector had any idea how his proposing at KFC would enable him to provide so much for his new bride to be. The gifts did not stop there!
A well-known bank in South Africa offered Hector and Nonhlanhla a brand new life by wiping all their debt. Just incredible!
This jewelry company decided they too wanted to ensure the beautiful couple would have the perfect rings for both of them worth about $3000!
Traditional wedding attire and a chef for their special day was sorted.
And to top it all off, this company, Moremi Kitchens, gifted them a brand new kitchen!
A Happy Ending
The couple was obviously overwhelmed by all the love they received. Hector never imagined proposing at KFC would end up being the best decision he could have made.
âWe are still in disbelief; both of us have to ask each other if this is really happening from time to time. We couldnât be more grateful to God and every single person that has shared in our little love story. Our dream has come true; we never in a million years thought something like this would happen to us.â
