It's not (just) about the white dress
The off white Maggie Sottero mermaid or trumpet designer wedding gown made of raw silk or duchess satin fabric, three tier vanilla wedding cake: simple yet sophisticated, sounds of ululating in the background, Brenda Fassie's vulindlela blaring somewhere in the background, family and friends gathered together to celebrate... I know many ladies, some of them my friends and others acquaintances, that make it a point to buy wedding magazines every month, are always on top of the latest trends regarding weddings, never miss wedding expos, already know what kind of wedding dress they want, already have their three bridesmaids, already have their wedding cake flavor all figured out, already know the venue for their wedding and have already figured out their seating chart for the reception. And oh how can I forget, they already have their wedding playlist, ( others even want Judith Sephuma, or Caiphus Semenya and Letta Mbulu to provide live entertainment at their reception)
