Look who’s won our R1 million wedding!
Meet Thato and Nomaswazi, the winners of Nubian Bride’s R1 million Bona Dea Win-a-Wedding Competition!
“Once in a while, in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale.”
This is the comment Thato Khesa put on Nubian Bride’s Facebook page after finding out in August that he and Nomaswazi Tshabalala were finalists in the competition. This quote actually covers much more than that. These two lucky people are about to really live their fairy tale, in the form of a R1 million wedding, thanks to Nubian Bride and Bona Dea Private Estate.
They told us their love story and, out of the hundreds of entrants, theirs is the one we chose. You can’t beat a relationship that spans 24 years, and includes everything from pulling her tooth out at the age of 10 to being nominated as finalists in this competition during her 28th birthday month. And now he is going to be able to give Nomaswazi the wedding she has always dreamed of.
In his letter to Nubian Bride, Thato mentioned that: “This amazing wedding prize would be the perfect puzzle piece of our love journey into this new chapter of our lives. It would be a dream come true. Please help me give Nomaswazi the wedding of her dreams.” And we are going to do just that…
Thato and Nomaswazi will be getting married on 18 March 2017 and enjoying a sublime R1 million wedding in the Western Cape! This once-in-a-lifetime competition, which was brought to you exclusive by Nubian Bride and Bona Dea Private Estate, includes everything possible to make this special couple’s dream wedding a reality.
