Gomora

When an almost trip down the aisle gets a roadblock in the form of handsome co-worker, the result will either be a story like a Greek tragedy, or a beautiful testament to the idea that what is meant to be will always prevail.

Nkululeko, our 28-year-old groom from Vryheid, felt so strongly about his 26-year-old co-worker, Kitso, that he didn’t let the not-so-small matter of her being engaged stand in the way of winning the heart of the lady of his dreams.

Kitso says she has no regrets about returning the ring and embarking on a journey of love with Nkululeko. Five years into their journey, they’re cementing their relationship and committing to each other as man and wife.

Kisto has been Nkululeko’s rock and has stood by him and seen him through his battles with drug, alcohol and cigarette addictions, and introduced him to a sober life and to church.

Two beautiful and colourful cultures will meet and harmonize when our Zulu groom takes his Pedi bride, with a fitting backdrop of the scenic Walter Ssisulu Botanical Gardens.

The couple is evidence that an interruption to a plan can sometimes be a detour to one’s destiny.
