The country’s favourite couple, Nonhlanhla Soldaat and Hector Mkansi are tying the knot on New Year’s eve!
After a whirlwind of public participation including the search for the ‘KFC couple’ and then the masses offering to contribute towards their wedding, the big day is finally here.
While we are sitting on the edge of our seats to see the dress, here’s what we know so far.
Nonhlanhla’s dress cost over R30 000, the designer/supplier is still anonymous at this time. “I want my wife to feel like a queen because she is my queen, even her dress will show that,” was all Hector was willing to reveal.
The wedding theme is royal, with gold and champagne as the main colours. Royal weddings are notoriously lavish and over the top, so we’re excited to see what the decor looks like. We’re sure the couple will have the finest of everything, from the flowers down to cutlery fit for a king and queen.
The venue is unknown for privacy reasons, but we do know there will be 250 guests. At first, the Johannesburg couple had their hopes up to get the FNB stadium so that they could invite the whole country, but it was not to be.
“There were so many people who requested to attend the wedding and we also had it in our hearts. Unfortunately, we were told that the stadium is already booked for the date so we had to find a different venue,” Hector told W24.
The couple was initially offered numerous luxurious honeymoon destinations by resorts all over the country, but rumour has it they will hop on a flight for an international honeymoon in the US. When they return, they plan to do a province-to-province tour so they can meet and thank all their supporters all across SA.
The couple is eternally grateful to everyone who is helping to make their dream wedding come true. “I was just showing my wife how much I love and appreciate her and now she will get a wedding she never dreamed she would be having,” Hector said.
We wish them love and happiness!
