Raja Jigme Khesar and Queen Jetsun Pema from the kingdom of Bhutan recently celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary. They shared the happy moment by uploading family photos on Instagram.
The love story of King Jigme and Queen Jetsun is in the public spotlight. Their love affair is considered like a story from a fairy tale.
Queen Jetsun is just an ordinary girl living in Bhutan. He was only 7 years old when he first met King Jigme who at that time was already 17 years old.
Who would have thought that the meeting with King Jigme during the picnic made Jetsun the Queen Bhutan after 14 years later.
Jetsun was initially intrigued when he met a handsome man who turned out to be the crown prince of the kingdom of Bhutan. Jetsun, who was still innocent at that time, expressed her feelings and said she wanted to marry King Jigme.
“I want to marry you, I like you,” said little Jetsun Worldofbuzz quoted on Wednesday (13/11).
That innocent confession made the young King Jigme confused. However, on the other hand King Jigme also falls in love and promises to marry Jetsun when he grows up.
However, at that time Jetsun did not realize that Jigme was actually the crown prince of the kingdom of Bhutan. Jetsun only realized this when he was 10 years old.
Closeness in childhood made Jetsun finally betrothed to King Jigme and became the talk of the people of Bhutan. This turned out to be a burden for Jetsun to get a better education.
Years later King Jigme met again with Jetsun who was studying at Regent’s College, London, England. King Jigme immediately fell in love again and wanted to marry Jetsun who was then 21 years old.
King Jigme finally married Jetsun on October 13, 2011. The wedding ceremony was held in a traditional Bhutanese style.
“I’ve waited long enough to get married. But it doesn’t matter when you’re married that long to the right person. I’m sure I married the right person,” said King Jigme.
