Amanda and Dennis shared the footage of their special day and it quickly went viral! Their traditional wedding is possibly the best wedding of 2017!
Eastern Cape – We all dream of that magical moment where you connect with someone from across the room and a happy ever after follows shortly. That is the case for Amanda Dilima and Dennis Jonsson who met at a music festival, Rocking the Daisies, in 2011 and fell for each other pretty quickly. The couple were born worlds apart, Dennis is Swedish and Amanda is South African.
“Even though we’re from completely different worlds, the chemistry between us was instant, I knew I felt it with the touch of Amanda’s hand on that first night.” – Dennis
Amanda made the first move and asked Dennis out on a date. After 4 years together he finally popped the question! Amanda told Vogue about the magical day she said yes.
“He wanted to show me one of their luxury suites for a potential client. I remember walking into the room seeing petals on the bed and a bottle of Champagne and then saying to Dennis, ‘Wow, they really go all out for the luxe rooms!’
Dennis at this point picked up the bottle and guided me to the balcony where he then got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I remember being so shocked that I got down on the floor with him not quite understanding what was happening and then seeing this beautiful ring.
We popped the Champagne, kissed, cried, and hugged each other the entire day and then spent that night with friends. It was perfect and will remain forever in my heart.”
Amanda and Dennis had two wedding celebrations and this was the first them. Both Dennis and Amanda’s families (from Sweden and South Africa respectively) gathered in the Eastern Cape for their traditional Xhosa wedding. The entire day was a feast for the eyes, with colour, pattern, music, dancing and food in abundance.
There were audible gasps as Amanda walked down the aisle in her one-of-a-kind dress and there was so much beauty around that it was hard to know where to look.
The couples wedding was so breathtaking that even Vogue featured it on their website. Check out the incredible video below:
