To: Ryan Brown
My significant other, Ryan Brown is the best. We have been together for 17 years and have an amazing three-year-old daughter, Riquel. Ryan always does and says the right things at the right time and I am so proud to say that I share him with my amazing daughter. He even lets Riquel paint his toe nails and put make up on. I could not have asked for a better man and father in the world.

From: Lezay van Wyk

My husband is the best! Not because he pays the bond or buys me flowers, because he cares enough to know me. Shaun, you gave me the gift of knowing how it feels to be loved!

He is loving, warmhearted and takes time to listen. There is never a dull moment with him. He is the most comfortable person to be with.
After three decades, my significant other demonstrates his romantic/saving streak by picking red roses from our garden (without thorns)… yet turns a blind eye when I attack his credit card.

My other half, a fabric which they don’t make anymore. Chameleon personality, astronomical explosions. Want to bang my head against the walls at times, but in his eyes I see the love which shines through for me.
From: Amy Ansell
To: Reg Ansell
My Valentine, loving husband Reg, is still my best friend after 50 years. We have weathered health problems together and share a joyful hobby, photography.
From: Fathima Abdulla
To: Mashooq
A life beside you wouldn’t be, if it weren’t for 14 February, where six years ago you gifted me 23 hours of your day to conquer my heart. I still do look at you through the eyes of the girl in the arms of a boy that took her breath away that fateful Valentine’s Day.
From: Thando Angel Ngwenya

That he loves and serves and has a relationship with God! He never gives up and always looks for the good! He loves reaching the people for Jesus like I do and loves me for who I am as I do him. He gives with a good heart not expecting anything in return.

From: Charné van Musschenbroek
To: Mitch Pearson
My newly Fiancé, Mitch Pearson, is possibly the best in the world. Being together for five years this year, he still makes me laugh and blush. He still opens car doors for me, as well as pulls the chair out for me whenever we are seated at a table. He has sacrificed so much for our future. I’m currently a full-time student and he works his butt off for the two of us. He is so supportive with me studying and after hard days work, he still has enough energy to help me study. I couldn’t have asked for a better best friend and future hubby!
From: Anne Potgieter
To: Gerhard Potgieter
My Valentine is going grey
Often a little grumpy
His girth has expanded
I’m glad with me he landed
I love him even so lumpy!
