Newlywed couple on TikTok loses R61k

Not all couples are lucky to have guests on their special day. Briefly News reported on newlyweds who were counting their losses after some guests failed to show up to their wedding. A report indicated that the couple was left 'heartbroken' after more than half of their guests who RSVP'd didn't show up for their wedding.

For the bride, it was not the case at her wedding, which she did not want to hold to some extent due to many red flags. "

During the wedding day, I was so sad. The videographer refused to come in the morning. My in-laws used the wrong route and were held up in traffic. By 1 am, they had not arrived. I started crying. The wedding was getting late. But we eventually did the wedding," she told Afrimax English.
