A celebration of love
The touching video captures a moment when an older woman approaches the bride from below the stage, resulting in a warm embrace between the two. As the camera pans out, viewers can see excited guests standing and dancing enthusiastically to the beat of the music, celebrating the joyous union. Although the groom isn't visible in the footage, the focus remains on the bride who outshines everyone with her simple yet beautiful traditional attire.
Wedding planning in South Africa can be quite costly, with professional wedding planners charging anywhere from R10,000 to R50,000 depending on their experience, the complexity of the event, and the level of service required.
Factors that influence these costs include the planner's expertise, service level (from full-service planning to day-of coordination), wedding size, location, number of consultations, wedding date, additional services, travel expenses, and duration of planning.
Xhosa weddings are rich in cultural traditions and can follow several different paths to marriage. In traditional Xhosa culture, there are four main ways to initiate a marriage. The first is when a man asks for a woman's hand in marriage after she accepts his proposal, then informs his father of his intentions to marry.
The second method involves the parents of the bride deciding they want their daughter to marry a son from a certain family. The bride's family sends a representative to plant a spear at the compound of the groom's family at night, and if the proposal is accepted, the groom's family will return the gesture.
A crucial part of Xhosa weddings is the Ilobola process, where the groom's family makes a payment in cattle or cash to the bride's family shortly before the marriage. This traditional practice symbolizes the union between families and shows the groom's ability to provide for his future wife.
