A South African couple captured the hearts of thousands on TikTok after posting footage of their traditional Pedi wedding on 28 July 2026. The video, shared by TikTok user @lunluncat, showed the couple celebrating a traditional wedding following an earlier civil union at Home Affairs. The clip quickly gained traction, racking up hundreds of comments from viewers charmed by the occasion and the cultural customs on display.
Traditional weddings are a celebration centred on bogadi, the Sepedi tradition of lobola, in which the groom's family negotiates with the bride's family as a gesture of appreciation and commitment.
