South African Robert Gumede’s Extravagant Surprise for his Wife’s 40th Birthday

Robert Gumede just raise the bar by organised a surprise four-night birthday party in three countries. He wisked the former Miss Durban wife, Portia with 60 closest friends.

Gumede told City Press, “The reason I wanted to surprise Portia is that she never had a birthday party as a child because her parents couldn’t afford it. When we got married, that was her first proper party. She never had a 21st or even a graduation party as a medical doctor. I wanted this to be memorable; a continuation of our wedding.”

After planning secretly with his eldest daughter for two months, he sent flowers and embossed hardcover coffee table-book style invitations to 30 couples he wanted to attend her party. The 34-page invitations came complete with interesting information on the Seychelles, Madagascar and Mozambique, the countries they were to visit, as well as a tribute to Portia from her husband to celebrate her 40th birthday and their 6th wedding anniversary.
