A Botswana radio presenter has given social media users serious wedding envy after sharing what she ate at her friend's incredibly luxurious wedding in Pretoria.

Content creator @tammymogapi travelled from Botswana to Gauteng Province to celebrate with her friend and documented the entire food journey throughout the day. She shared the video at the beginning of June with the caption:

"Ne go leba yo o sebete! Re jele mo!! Inimitable Wedding Venue you owe us nothing!"

The post quickly went viral, receiving over 1,000 likes as viewers marvelled at the wedding's extravagance.

The video takes viewers through an entire day of incredible dining, starting with an elaborate breakfast that had three different sections. The first section featured all the sweet treats, including fresh fruits, granolas, cereals, amazing yoghurt, and different homemade competes.

The second section was a build-your-own omelette station where guests could customise their breakfast exactly how they wanted it. The final section included savoury options like bacon, chicken sausages, and potatoes that she described as absolutely delicious.

A wedding that lasted all day

Luxury weddings like this one require extensive planning and often span an entire day, which explains why breakfast and lunch were served alongside the main reception dinner. When the bridal party is getting ready early in the morning, it becomes a long process that can take several hours. Hair, makeup, photos, and preparations for such elaborate celebrations mean that everyone involved needs proper meals throughout the day to keep their energy up.

During the getting-ready process, the wedding party was treated to platters of nibbles, including burgers and shrimp, to keep them satisfied. The woman wasn't able to record the cocktail hour because her phone was charging, but she mentioned there was an incredible amount of food available during that time as well.

By the time the reception started, guests were treated to a proper five-course meal that sounded like something from a high-end restaurant. For the woman, the star of the show was the main course, lamb collar served with pave potato that fell off the bone.

Briefly News spoke to health expert Jayshri Rangasamy regarding the importance of serving both breakfast and lunch at a wedding that lasts all day, especially considering guests who may have health conditions like diabetes or low blood sugar. We also asked how proper meal planning can improve the overall experience and prevent medical issues during long celebrations. She stated that:

"Serving breakfast and lunch at a full-day wedding is essential, especially for guests with medical conditions like diabetes, as it helps maintain stable blood sugar levels and prevents fatigue, dizziness, or more serious health issues. Long gaps without food can lead to discomfort or even medical emergencies, particularly for those who rely on regular meals to manage their health."

"To cater effectively for long weddings, consider offering a light breakfast upon arrival, a substantial lunch, and snacks or grazing stations between meals. Always label food clearly, provide diabetic-friendly and allergen-free options, and ensure water and non-alcoholic beverages are readily available throughout the day."
