Generally in the Xhosa culture the white wedding comes first and the traditional wedding comes either the next day or within the next week, depending on the family. Khanyi & Sibu had their white wedding a few days before. I've covered 3 traditional weddings prior to this particular one and every one of them were different, this one stood out for me. From the moment I saw Khanyi she was relaxed and when she walked out of the house where Sibu "fetched" her from, there was this instant glow on both of their faces when they saw each other. Too often the bride lets her nervous get to her and she freezes, not in this case, Khanyi was right at home.
Unfortunately I never got to spend much time with the couple before or after their wedding but I would like to wish them a happy 6 month anniversary and may they continue to be as happy as they were on their big day :)

Something I admire is that both families gelled perfectly, and that's ideally what everyone searches for from their in-laws.
Here's to many more traditional weddings
