South Africans tried to count the money but struggled to do so accurately through the boundary of a screen. The groom’s family gave out presents to the bride’s family, including blankets and other goodies to show respect and unity between the two families.

The photographer took more footage and posted it online for the rest of Mzansi to witness the newlyweds’ love story. The groom stuffed more money into his bride’s hat, which pleased some South Africans who watched the video.

Some Mzansi people thought the idea of gifting the bride with so much money was a bad move and shared the worst-case scenarios in the comments.
