| On Saturday January 14th, Nthabiseng Sello Rachoene and Given Vhuromo tied the knot in what is believed to be Limpopo’s first ‘gay’ white wedding ceremony. |
According to The Sowetan, the heightened drama leading up to the ceremony, which was held
in Polokwane, is expected to be aired on the popular reality television
show Our Perfect Wedding in the coming weeks.
Sowetan reported the newlyweds as a gay couple, although the two are a self-identified man and woman.
According to the daily
publication, Sello, who is known to friends and family as Sesi
(sister) Nthabi, identifies as a woman and wore a white dress on the big day.
“This has shocked the family but I am so happy for my child,” said Martha Rachoene, Sello’s mother. “I never thought I would ever see my first son getting married in a white dress. But this is the gift God has given me. I have accepted it.”

“This is the first gay
white wedding around here. We have led the way. More weddings like this will
follow after this,” Nthabi said. The wedding was officiated by a mutual friend
of theirs, Lozzi Nkgudi, after the pastor they had booked failed to show.
“Even if they hate us
Lord, we will continue,” he said as he prayed to God to bless the wedding.

MARRIED COUPLE FIND OUT THEY'RE BROTHERS
Two gay men who met online and started a physical relationship discovered they were actually brothers live on the Jeremy Kyle show. A DNA test revealed the shock truth for lovers Paul and Lee, who had been a couple for years after finding each other online.
The pair – who exchanged flirty messages for a full two years before hooking-up – were none the wiser to the fact they shared the same mother…and were in fact closer than either of them could ever have imagined.
The reality only came to light when Lee’s family and friends first met his new lover and noticed a striking similarity between Paul and his mother’s former husband, Ron. To set the record straight, the men chose to appear on The Jeremy Kyle Show, where they requested a DNA test that they hoped would prove that they didn’t share the same blood.
However, the results confirmed the suspicions that Paul and Lee were actually half-brothers, and left both men speechless. Speaking before he revealed the results to the pair, Kyle said: ‘You are having a physical sexual relationship with a man that you love and want to marry and at some point somebody might tell you that he could be your half-brother.
After finding out that two of her four children were now in a homo-sexual relationship together, Ena said: ‘When I saw Paul for the first time I instantly thought he looked like my ex-husband Ron.
The segment – which was first broadcast in 2012 – featured on Kyle’s ten year anniversary show broadcast on Thursday. According to the show, both men have since moved on, but remain closer than ever as brothers.
