Minnie tells of her fairytale
Lavish weddings to hit small screen
Minnie Dlamini’s wedding has led to her showing more of herself than usual.
The private television star debuts the three part docuseries Becoming Mrs Jones on October 13 on DStv’s Vuzu Amp.
This follows her two-legged nuptial celebrations that reached a crescendo a week ago at the enchanting Lourensford Wine Estate in Somerset West near Cape Town, where she and her husband Quinton Jones tied the knot in a white wedding.
They hosted the equally lavish traditional party in Durban in July.
“Becoming Mrs Jones is incredibly personal and the most transparent I have been in my career. I’m excited for people to see me in my new role as executive producer. It is the kind of work I intend on making moving forward in the local entertainment industry. Mostly, I’m excited to show everyone a true and authentic love story,” she said.
The 27-year-old Dlamini finally spoke about the details of the fairytale wedding.
She entrusted fashion couturier Gert-Johan Coetzee to design her dreamy gown and the reception dress.
She said that her whole dress was encrusted with crystals.
“I gave Gert the brief, which was to look like a fairytale princess.
It has always been my dream to look like a Disney princess, and he knocked it out of the park,” she said.
“There were a few hiccups but at the end everything worked out like the fairytale I dreamed of.”
Dlamini and Jones exchanged vows in front of relatives and close friends such as Anele Mdoda, Unathi Msengana, Norma Gigaba, Jessica Nkosi, DJ Euphonik, Somizi Mhlongo and Jimmy Tau in attendance.
“The traditional wedding was very African, and obviously the white wedding was Western. But fundamentally, the same amount of love was shown in each, making both the happiest days of my life.”
