‘Today 16 years together, joy and sorrow. Wouldn’t have wanted to miss a day with you and would do it all over again,” Nicolette writes with a photo from the old box. And on that photo the children of the couple react with amazement. “By the way, I showed this picture to the girls and the response was, ‘Eeewwwwl, you guys are really weird there.'”
Bas also reflects on the joyful news with a photo of Nicolette and a bouquet of flowers. He buys a bunch of roses for his Nicolette every month. The number of roses in the bouquet is equal to the number of months they have been together. ‘192 months of courtship. (Ps wouldn’t recommend this tradition to anyone, especially if you started dating around Valentine’s Day)’, he jokes. He does add that he also donated the costs of the roses to Giro555 in multiples, before he receives criticism.
Celebrities friends of the couple respond en masse in the comments of the lovebirds. For example, Flemming, Shirma Rouse, Jim Bakkum and Roué Verveer send emojis and congratulations.
