Sowetan Weddings - Love Is how you relate and respect each other

Boitumelo and Loeto Moremi

My lovely,fun loving wife Boitumelo Moremi is deaf.  Many people thought I was really insane to marry a deaf woman but they didn't know that deep inside she is such a wonderful, loving and caring person. It’s been a year now since our marriage and we are blessed with a beautiful baby girl Gabrielle Moremi who was born healthy and with full use of her ears to our surprise.If iv'e learned anything its that, Love is not about judgement but its about how you relate and how you show respect to each other along with faith and communication, those are absolutely key.

An army of security guards the police and presidential protection unit watched over the in style.The venue,held at the Inkwenkwezi Game Reserve near East London in the Eastern Cape, where the ceremony was held in a giant white marquee that had been erected.

The Duduzile, 28, wore a beautiful white off-the-shoulder wedding gown covered with Swarovski crystals, and a stunning pair of silver Christian Louboutin heels.

She was accompanied by her father and four bridesmaids dressed in red gowns.

 Around her neck a custom-made diamond necklace worth R1,5 million hung. She and her bridesmaids were both decked out in more than 1,000 diamonds worth at over R4,5 million.

Members of the SA Police Service were on hand to make sure Duduzile's diamond jewellery didn't go missing on loan from a top jewellery store and delivered to her shortly before midday.

Near the entrance of the tent a framed photograph of Duduzile's late mother, Kate Mantsho, stood proudly on a stand in front of a burning candle.

Mantsho unfortunately committed suicide in 2000.

Sambudla,the husband 31, wore a stylish cream suit and matching bow tie. Elephants roamed the grounds in the background as the couple exchanged vows.

The couple met three years ago when Duduzile was on the board of Gupta-owned Sahara Computers.
