Lithuanian artist Egidijus Dragūnas, widely known as Sel, shared a tender moment with his wife Žaneta, posting a black-and-white photograph on Facebook of them kissing. The simple yet heartfelt caption, "I love you," resonated with followers, who flooded the post with messages of support and congratulations. Comments ranged from "Beautiful feeling, Egi. Great to hear that you can also be a happy person, not just a 'star'" to "Love, patience, understanding, respect! Beautiful moments."
I love you
The couple's anniversary was recently celebrated, with Žaneta marking their first year of marriage on Instagram. "A year ago we said YES," she wrote, accompanying the post with a shared photo. This public display of affection comes after a period of adjustment for the couple. Dragūnas previously revealed in a Delfi TV interview that their marriage was not a grand affair. He admitted to not being a strong believer in the institution of marriage itself, especially at his age of 49 when he wed.
Dragūnas detailed a pre-nuptial agreement with Žaneta: they decided to live together for at least a year to ensure their relationship could withstand daily life before planning a larger celebration. This cautious approach aimed to avoid the common pitfalls of quick marriages ending in separation. Their wedding ceremony was intentionally private, held at a closed church with only witnesses present, while parents joined them later at home. They planned a quiet gathering, but friends surprised them, turning it into a modest celebration.
A year ago we said YES
Reflecting on their first year of marriage, Dragūnas acknowledged the challenges. "We are rubbing off on each other this first year – we argue, we fight. We are trying to understand each other, to harmonize our characters. It's responsible work," he confessed. Despite the ongoing process of adjustment, the couple's recent public display of affection signals a strong bond and a shared commitment to their relationship.
