Diamond encrusted rings, real crowns & all white glam - inside Somhale's white wedding
They promised that it would be a white wedding never to be forgotten, and they weren't joking!
Somizi Mhlongo and Mohale Motaung celebrated their white wedding on Thursday and brought Mzansi to a standstill.
The Idols SA judge and his bae exchanged a set of diamond-encrusted rings set in an intricate design by local jeweller Nungu Diamonds. The rings were engraved with each other's name on it, and looked like something out of a royal wedding.

The breathtaking ceremony was attended by some of Mzansi's most famous faces, who were requested to not only wear red bottomed shoes but to also wear all-white.
“Celebrate yourself in wonder and appreciation of what love in its purest form has made possible,” part of the invite read.
Beauty queen and media mogul Basetsana Kumalo even pulled out her crown as first runner-up in the 1994 Miss World pageant for the occasion, coupling it with a beautiful white dress.
