Oprah walks former Leadership Academy student down the aisle in beautiful ceremony

Johannesburg – Remember the time Oprah spent over R140 000 on a wedding dress for one of her former Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy students?

Well, said student, Glori Nelson, has officially tied the knot and Oprah was one of the people who were right by her side on the big day.

Posting a pic on Instagram, Glori wrote: "My three mama bears walked me down the aisle. One walked me in spirit. I lost my mum when I was ten and her spirit gained me to them. A praying mum, dead or alive, is sooooo powerful!"

Local designer Gert-Johan Coetzee created the gorgeous golden kaftan Oprah wore to the wedding.

I’ve known these girls since they were 12 and 13 coming to my school. Graduating from college. Grad school. Now our first wedding. Looking for the perfect dress. #biglifemoment??
