#SomhaleWhiteWedding - The rings, the venue, the guests

Johannesburg – Somizi and Mohale have officially said "I do" for the second time. 

The couple's white wedding, which took place on Thursday, was a star-studded affair, and of course, there was no shortage of glitz and glam. 

The #SomhaleWhiteWedding will air exclusively on Showmax in the next four weeks, but until then, here's what we do know about the lavish affair.

It was extremely private 

According to a post shared on social media, phones were not allowed inside the venue. 

"Unplugged. No phones allowed," a sign reads. 

While many celebs posted photos of their attire, they were only allowed to do so from outside the venue, not giving too much away.

The venue

Both Somizi and Mohale, as well as some guests, geo-tagged a venue in Muldersdrift (Gauteng) called, Inimitable.  

"From the moment the gates of Inimitable open, your eyes are automatically drawn to the beauty of the Zwartkop Mountains directly in front of you. These mountains tip gently into the very hills where gold was first discovered in South Africa in 1886 by George Harrison," a description on the Inimitable website reads. 

According to the site, the popular wedding venue costs upwards of 30 000 to hire. 

The scenic venue is owned by Zavion Kotze, who was in charge of décor at the #SomhaleWhiteWedding.

The rings

In 2019 we saw Somizi picking out diamonds for his wedding rings, and now we finally get to see what they look like. 

Somizi shared pics of the gold, diamond-encrusted rings, with his and Mohale's names engraved onto it.

The guest list

The star-studded guestlist for the #SomhaleWhiteWedding included the likes of Minnie Dlamini, Basetana Kumalo, and Ayanda Thabethe. 

All guests were asked to dress in white "as you would at your own wedding". 

Everyone looked like a dream in their outfits, but none more than Bassie who dusted off her 1994 Miss World runner-up crown for the event.
