To mark the occasion Ayanda, who has two children with Peter, took to her Instagram stories to recount the day they met.

“Four years ago on May 31 2021, I met the guy I wanted to annoy forever. Life has changed so much since then but annoying you is for life. Love you with all my heart my love. Thank you for changing my life and making me the happiest wife ever,” she wrote. 

Five months ago, congratulatory messages flooded Ayanda's timeline after she revealed she was engaged. 

The media personality took to social media to share the exciting news, giving her fans a glimpse into the romantic proposal that left her breathless.

The proposal included an aisle lined with white flower petals, leading to LED lights that read “Will you marry me?”.

The romantic set-up was accompanied by the sounds of a violin player serenading her as she walked down the aisle, and the cameraman made sure to capture her emotional reaction.

“You are the perfect sunset where my quest for love has found its ending and the spectacular sunrise where my most meaningful adventure begins. Thank you for the greatest gift of all: your heart and our sons. I am deeply honoured to be your first and only wife, the one chosen to share this lifetime of love with you,” Ayanda captioned the Instagram post.
