In her growing up days, Yutee Rone, the beautiful fashion entrepreneur and wife of gas baron Julius Rone, had found the allure of books very irresistible. In reading, she had come to understand the power of love, especially as it is found in romantic novels that foreground the lives of some fictional characters that are romantically attracted to one another. That’s aside the volume of romantic movies she had seen. But nothing compares to the lesson on love that her dutiful mother shared with her.
When she later ran into Julius, she knew she could pull it off romantically with him. And fate, the ultimate determiner had, to the admiration of all, led them in their romantic adventures.
A few years of courtship, having studied each other like a book, the lovebirds made their intentions to be husband and wife known to their beloved families and friends. They later walked down the aisle, amidst pomp and circumstance. Interestingly, 20 years later, the lovely couple is still keeping to the vows they made before God and man to remain in love forever. Specifically, Rone, the GMD/CEO of UTM Offshore Limited, has kept to the vow he made before the priest and other guests on that fateful day. Despite his busy business schedules, Rone utilises every opportunity at his disposal very well in showcasing his untainted love and care to his family. However, the couple compliments each other, as Yutee, the creative and visionary mind behind Yutee Rone Atelier, has been credited to the stability of Julius as a successful businessman who is boisterous yet humble, intelligent, a hard worker and most importantly a loyal friend who has anchored his life to God.
Last week, the charming couple pulled all stops, as they played host to family members and friends during the celebration of their 20th wedding anniversary. The day, again, reminded them of the very moment they became one and promised never to part, while they also renewed their marriage vows.
