I had lunch the other day with another one of my favourite Joburg couples & very good friends; Thithi Nteta & Dylan Lloyd. As previously mentioned (in my last happy couples post ) I love love. And I love happy couples. Especially stylish ones who look in sync but casually unplanned.
So instead of just posting pics this time I thought I'd get them to answer a few questions & let us in on what it's like to be a nauseatingly happy, stylish, cool, urban (lol! I hate that word), totally freakin' awesome couple. Enjoy!
1. How long have you guys been together?
T: We have been together for 6 months and friends for over a year
D: We have been together for 6 months , 2 weeks, 4 days, 18 hours & 3 mins. But courted her for a year.
2. What are your non-negotiables in a partner?
T: - Lying, lack of passion and ambition, no sense of style
D: - Shallow personality, Dishonesty, Bad weave
3. Do you guys (ever) intentionally coordinate your looks?
T: Hehe... No. But I always like to see what he is wearing so that we aren't out dressing each other. Lol!!
D: Yes, from our undies to our socks, Jokes. It's important for me to look good next to Thithi, else I'd be ignored as if I were never born. Nah, we're a reflection of each other. She's always looking fly, so I gadda be her mirror.
4. @Thithi: Why Dylan? Dylan is my friend and I really care for him and his well being.
T: I want the absolute best for him and he is always in my prayers because I don't just love him, I care about him immensely. Also he has a good sense of style and is crazy funny
@Dylan: Why Thithi?
D: In 3 words, a mazing soul! It's because she's intelligent, principled, ambitious, deadly funny, awkward (I love this) and mad trustworthy. A true friend who I respect with every organism in my body. + she's flyer than all dem other itches.
5. Do you celebrate Valentine's Day? Or any other relationship orientated events (anniversaries etc) And why?
T: I think we celebrated Valentine's day because it happened to fall on our date night... I could be wrong. We celebrated our 6 month anniversary. Personally the reason why I want to celebrate my anniversary with Dylan is because I am really happy and want to be reminded by something as lame and cheesy as an anniversary that being this happy in a relationship doesn't always happen.
D: I don't really celebrate valentines but I did this year. Went mad kitsch & cheesy, did the fake rose, singing card and teddy bear, and an oversized coffee mug. Best R100 I ever spent at the traffic lights. Anniversaries? Mad important to reinforce the reasons why we're together and love each other. Par cor to that!
