Lesotho Princess Sekhothali Seeiso arrived at the church in a grey Rolls-Royce convertible and she looked stunning in a purple wedding dress with gold details in the bodice and skirt. She paired the unique wedding gown with a matching purple veil.

Her bridesmaids showed up in purple dresses with traditional prints and ruffle details on the shoulders.

“I want to thank the Ndebele nation for its support throughout the process of this marriage. I’m out of the land of the singles,” he said.
