In her words:

"When you get married, the first person you have to ensure you keep out of your marriage is YOUR MOTHER! Those love and concerns and wanting to find all is okay in the guise of love? It is not healthy! You start sharing what is happening you are done for! They begin to interfere!"

"No vex sisi but I will never place my marriage first before my mum/parents, in fact I will never marry any girl that isn't welcomed by my mom. C'mon I can't be the source of sadness for my mom who brought me into this world just because I found love. No, not me!"
