TV personality Minenhle Dlamini has opened up about how she met husband Quinton Jones in a recent interview with Jacaranda FM.
Minnie tied the knot to husband Quinton in a star-studded wedding ceremony in Cape Town last month, though she said her wedding did not have that many celebrity guests.
“I just invited my friends, I mean, if you saw, a lot of people said it was star-studded, and I was just like, it really was not that star-studded. I think it could have been so much more If I really wanted it to be like that, but I wanted it to be my close friends and family,” she said.
Minnie said she met her husband seven years ago when she first moved to the City of Gold.
“We both worked at Urban Brew studios. He was obviously much senior than I was, I was just like an assistant runner. He basically became my best friend. He was one of those friends where I’d be like in the club, and I’d be partying, and he would be like, ‘I think we should go home now,’ and I would be like, ‘why?’ and I would say, ‘okay, dad.’ Our friendship grew and grew,” she said.
It took some time before the two became a couple, as she said they were never single at the same time. They always stayed friends for that reason, until an opportunity came, and they both found themselves single.
“He was like, ‘well, why don’t we start dating?’ and I was like, ‘no, that’s just weird, let’s just not, you’re my best friend, you know?’ and he was just like, ‘no, why don’t we just give it a shot, no one knows you like me, and no one knows me like you’. I kinda was just like, ‘nah, let it slide for like a year, but we’re kind of like together, but we were not official.’
“And we were doing that for about a year, and then he took me on holiday, and then he asked me to be his girlfriend. It was really cute, and I was like, ‘I think I really like you and stuff,'” she said.
Minnie said her husband was not into the spotlight, hence he also took her away when he proposed.
“He’s very chilled,” she said.
