On the 22nd of June, a couple tied the knot at a Home Affairs in Wynberg, Cape Town.

Mark shares that he heard noise "building and building as Nina approached."
It made it an amazing experience that the couple will never forget.
Mzansi added the magic and "in any other country, it couldn't have gone down like this," says the couple.
They also mention how it was a very simple process, there was a small room where they were able to say their nuptials and proceed with legalising the marriage.
Luckily, the lines wasn't too long for these lovebirds.
This wedding will forever hold a special place in the hearts of the Wynberg residents.
We wish this couple all the best in their marriage and hope that their honeymoon is filled with as much love as their wedding.
Stay tuned for the happily ever after.
