• The precious couple that got adopted by the nation, Nonhlanhla Soldaat and Hector Mkansi, finally had their dream wedding on December 31, 2019. After Hector was filmed presenting Nonhlanhla with a ring in a Gauteng KFC, the two went viral and their story became a homegrown legend.

    The much-anticipated wedding took place on New Year’s eve as any celebration should. Laced with fairy lights, the venue was absolutely breathtaking and the white, champagne and rose gold colour scheme was magical.

    Nonhlanhla’s pearl white dress was elegant, with a portrait neckline and no sleeves, which accentuated her figure perfectly. A small, understated bow on her waist tied the look together. She opted for a veil embroidered with lace and a stylish up-do with small white roses in her bun.

    Her bouquet, like the flowers used in the ceremony and reception were all light peach and white roses, adding to the fresh-meet-glamorous feel of the day.

    Hector was not to be overlooked either, wearing a very modern champagne coloured blazer and black bow-tie.

    The two beamed and looked more in love than ever. You would never even guess that they’ve been married all along, and this was their second wedding! We wish them happiness and love.

    Now this proposal is definitely a winner. One man decided to put his girlfriend to the test in a game of ‘Family Feud’ and ended up victorious in more ways than one.

    In the popular Family Feud show, two families are pitted against each other and asked a number of questions and have to give what they think would be the most popular answer.

    Joshua Powell from Fayetteville put his own personal touch to the game and proposed to his now-fiancée Kiana Myrick in a ‘Family Feud’ style game with family during a Christmas party.

    During their round, Powell asked Myrick wedding-themed questions like “”Name a day a woman always dreams of?” and “Name something a woman wears all-white to.” Finally he asks her, “How would you finish this: Will you marry me?”

    After a pause, Myrick laughingly says “Yes, I will”, then turns around to see Powell down on one knee.

    Watch the video below:

    Since being posted to Facebook, the video has gone viral and currently has over 2.5-million views, 12k shares and 3.3k comments.

    Speaking to WNCN, Powell says that him and Myrick have been together since high school and plan to wed in 2021 once they have both graduated from college.

    Congrats to the happy couple!

    Two best friends from the US, David Dobrik and Jason Nash are self-proclaimed pranksters and are always out to get one another. So, when Nash teased social media influencer Dobrik saying no one will ever marry him, Dobrik set out to prove him wrong. By marrying Nash’s mother!

    Dobrik (22) filmed the whole episode and explained to Lorraine Nash (74) that it was all a joke. She didn’t hesitate to jump in and play along.

    Dobrik took to Twitter saying “My friend told me I would never find love and get married. So I flew to his moms house and married her on the spot. Now that same friend is my stepson. True love always wins”

    After leaving Jason and the rest of his family thoroughly stunned with the Las Vegas wedding and Hawaii honeymoon, the pair called it off a month later and filed for divorce.

    Dobrik seems to have hit two birds with one stone, as he not only pranked his friend but also already got 10 million views on Youtube.
