How many South Africans can say that they’ve had a proper white wedding? Probably not many, but this KZN couple had a literal white wedding covered in snow this past weekend.
This past weekend parts of the country, including KZN, the Eastern Cape and the Free State were covered in snow, but that did not stop this bridal pair from Ladysmith from saying their “I dos”.
Nor did it stop them from taking breathtaking pictures with the snow as the perfect backdrop.
Wedding planner “Weddings by Rose” took to Facebook to share stunning pictures of the bride and groom along with their bridal party, at the wedding which took place at the Thandana Wedding and Conference Venue in the Ladysmith area.
“Who says you can’t have a wedding in snow in Ladysmith… Sneak Peak of today wedding,” the wedding planner wrote on Facebook.
The bride whose gown was as white as the snow, beamed with happiness regardless of the obvious cold. The AccuWeather app showed minimum temperatures of 3 degrees Celsius in Ladysmith during the weekend.
In other pictures, you can see the bridesmaids and groomsmen, all dressed in shades of blue, making their way across the snow.
Mesmerised by the unusual bridal scenery, people flocked to the comment section to express their delight.
The post has been shared over 800 times and had been liked by over 23,000 people.
