- Former Miss SA Liesl Laurie and TV personality and medical doctor Musa Mthombeni are celebrating three years of wedded bliss.
- The pair got engaged in June 2021 at a Durban mountaintop and tied the knot in August the same year.
- To mark the occasion, the pair jetted off to Greece.
Former Miss South Africa Liesl Laurie and TV personality and medical doctor Musa Mthombeni are celebrating their third wedding anniversary in the scenic city of Athens, Greece.
Taking to Instagram, the couple have been sharing snaps and clips of their getaway.
Not only are they vacationing in the Mediterranean city, but they also took a cute video celebrating their union on Sunday.
“August is a very celebratory month in the Mthombeni household. Toast to 3 years married and 4 years of umjolo,” wrote Musa.
They are known as the married couple that celebrates around the world.
“Greece – a country known for its history, gods, goddesses and myths. This city will play location to our 3 year anniversary. I heard Hercules was the guy around these parts not so long ago; well, BigDaddy and 2 piece wives (my sister) are up with this one!
“Should I ask the Greek government if I can erect a statue of Liesl next to the Acropolis as an anniversary gift? I won’t be outdone by Mark Zuckerberg,” he wittingly captioned his post.
The pair got engaged in June 2021, and Musa surprised his now wife by popping the question on a mountaintop in Durban.
“This was the moment that I reminded him that I LOVE my ring and this special proposal so much, but I LOVE him even more,” wrote Liesl.
The couple later revealed that they had their white wedding ceremony in August 2021, shortly after their engagement.
“And then this weekend, it just so happened was also our one-month anniversary, and we were like, ‘Alrighty, let’s make it happen’,” she wrote on her Instagram account at the time.
Sharing details from their special day, Liesl said they each invited 15 family members, and their guests were asked to wear black at their wedding ceremony, which took place at Hello Timber in Pretoria.

About her wedding gown, Liesl said: “Priorities are different for everyone. For me, I didn’t want to spend money on a wedding, and I rented that dress.
“So everyone is so shocked that the dress was rented. But why would I spend R45 000 on a dress, because that’s a high-end dress made by a maker in Italy, if I’m not mistaken? And to buy that dress here in South Africa started at like R42 000.”
She went on to say: “We went for the options that were the cheapest but obviously also still the prettiest.”
