Before the forever!

Becoming Mr Tshubang

how we never really elaborate and speak into depth about the celebrations that we usually include on these pages. We all know what a wedding is but if you’re not married how would you know the nifty bits that makeup the valuable parts of these unions.

I told myself that this week I am bringing you gorgeous celebrations and insightful information about all one needs to know about what we celebrate. So this week I have for you a bridal shower and before we get into it, I would like to depict the difference between a bridal shower and wedding shower.

A wedding shower is a more modern and inclusive take on the time-honoured shower for the bride. Wedding showers are also more appropriate for samesex marriages where there is no traditional ‘bride.’

Then a bridal shower is a party usually held for the bride-to-be in the months leading up to her wedding. It’s an opportunity for her close friends to celebrate her upcoming nuptials and to help her get excited for the big day.

The name ‘bridal shower’ comes from the custom of giving gifts to the bride that would help her set up her new home. This wedding tradition dates back to the Victorian era, when it was brought to America by English colonists. It quickly became a popular way for brides-to-be to gather with their families and female friends.

This is an event specifically for the bride, which means no men are allowed. Many bridal showers include female friends and relatives like aunts, grandmas, the bride’s mother and the mother of the groom. This is because brides generally don’t want their elder relatives included in their bachelorette party, but of course, that’s up to her.

At a bridal shower, guests will often bring gifts for the bride and her future spouse. These gifts are typically items that the couple will need for their new home together. The bride will open her gifts in front of the guests and often express her gratitude with a short speech.

Other than what has been mentioned above, all else entirely depends on the attendees and the bride herself and this week we speak to Gcinile Nkambule soon to be Mrs Tshubang.

Nkambule from Sigangeni mentioned how she was just looking forward to being on the journey of becoming Mrs Tshubang officially. “I feel like it’s going be an amazing journey for me because after the wedding I’ll have to relocate to Botswana, where my in-laws are based. New place, new people and new surroundings and new opportunities await and the groom is from Lethlakane in Botswana.”

Her bridal shower was hosted at Rehoboth Mountain suits, where she celebrated the moments with her friends and family. All the precious moments were captured by Mthorah Nation The Villain and her dress was designed by Make Luju the designer an tailor topped off with make-up by Glam by Thandeka.

The wedding date hasn’t been fixed yet.

The dress had shear white lace arms with matching white flower patels going right through to the neckline, right to the waist. The satin botton complements her shape and has a high slit on the right.
