The lovely couple, Shandre, 29, and Kurt Pelston, 37, tied the knot at the Matroosberg Nature Reserve on Saturday as a chilly cold front brought snow to many areas of the Western Cape, News 24 reports.
Speaking exclusively with the news outlet, Shandre says the couple got engaged in March and really wanted to do something different for their wedding.
"We got some inspiration from watching TV. We decided we would love to have a snow wedding, and the following weekend, we took a drive up to Ceres and found Matroosberg Nature Reserve. We immediately booked with them," the bride said.

Social media users react to the snaps of snowy South Africa
Vuyelwa Vanqa:
"Are the mountains of Ceres the Boland mountains or Drakensberg mountains? Ceres shares the same attributes with those ones of a place where I originally come from- Mount Fletcher which is surrounded by the Drakensberg mountains where snowfall is not a tourist attraction but experience it every winter #BeautyOfNature."
Anam Amazizi Matshikiza:
"Stayed there for the last 3 yrs of my schooling years. Super cold."
Vuyo Daniel Alexander:
"Wow, this is beautiful I never knew it snows in South Africa like this "
