Inside the glamorous 'The River' wedding that had everyone in their feels
We didn't even know that we wanted a glamorous wedding, with all the frills and fuss, until Zolani and Tumi got married on The River this week.
The lovebirds tied the knot in an elegant ceremony attended by many of the show's main characters.
Just take a look at Tumi's dress, designed by Gert Johan Coetzee.
