Couple ties the knot after 17 years of dating

Couples always take different time frame before they can tie the knot. Some people rush to the altar after dating several months while others wait years to take the big step. Recently a certain lady, Nompilo Majola, took to the #ImStaying Facebook page to share her aunt’s love story, which proved that timing is not everything.
