The Langas, one of South Africa’s most loved celebrity couples, are a gift that keeps on giving. They are really nurturing our hopes in love while keeping it real, real and real.

One year after Dineo and Solo Langa tied the knot in a spectacular wedding that was captured on the Kwakuhle Kwethu 3 part wedding TV Special, the two have come back to distill their experience so long.

In a couples vlog shared on YouTube, the couple reflect on their one year as not-so-newlyweds (even though it feels like yesterday because the entire 2020 has frozen time), while treating fans to new footage from the show as part of their anniversary.

Married couples often say that marriage flips the landscape of the relationship and shifts the dynamics. For Dineo, while their marriage has elevated, transformed and elevated their outlook on life, nothing really changed. The two had already dated 7 years prior to getting married, but their flow has only intensified.

“I don’t feel anything really changed”, she said. “This was always our frequency as a couple throughout the 7 years before we got married. We were always like this. It’s been really good.”

“I think marriage has added a nice texture to us. For us becoming one… the understanding of the unity. You grasp it at a different level once you understand the ‘forever’. Forever is, for any human, hard to grasp. You can’t really wrap your head around it. Day to day, we understand our commitment to each other deeper and deeper…”

The couple melted the hearts of South Africans when they documented the journey to marriage on the wedding TV special, which can be streamed on Showmax.

Viewers got glimpses into the hectic reality of putting together a wedding, the very real uniting of families, the stresses around the logistics of the actual ceremony, as well as all the emotions as a young couple commit each other, for ever.

But while the show’s crisp picture and awe inspiring scenes captured viewers, the whole experience was no walk in the park. As with any wedding, things don’t all go smoothly.

Amongst other things, Dineo reveals getting lost in the Vaal on her way from KwaThema, while Solo reveals that the slaughtering of the cow was delayed so far that it has to take place around midnight.

KwaKuhle Kwethu initially premiered it’s 3-part wedding TV special on 1Magic in 2019, before the show was windowed down to Mzansi Magic. Those who still want to catch feels can stream it on Showmax.
