A Mamelodi wedding was cancelled after the bride was discovered to have been eaten by her male bestie.
The brother spent over R110 000 on wedding preparations. Cows were discussed, outfits were fitted, deposits were paid, the DJ had already downloaded all the gospel house hits, and aunties were practising their dance moves.
Then disaster struck. 💀
Just before the wedding, the groom allegedly discovered that the woman he wanted to marry had been conducting cookie eating exercises with her male best friend. Immediately, the wedding was cancelled.
The chairs were left confused. The photographer was instantly unemployed.
The saddest part is not even the heartbreak. It's the fact that R110 000 left the account healthy and alive, then never returned home.
Today we gather here not to mourn love. Love will recover.
We are mourning the deposits. We are mourning the airtime used for wedding groups. We are mourning the petrol used for wedding meetings. We are mourning the brother's bank balance which was taken before its time.
And once again, South Africa has learned that whenever someone says:
"Relax babe, he's just my bestie."
Find yourself another girlfriend chief, that him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the groom, his wallet, and the R110 000 that died serving the streets.
