Jo'burg couple would only marry if it snowed

A South African couple who had pledged to only get married when it snowed in Johannesburg have finally tied the knot.

The couple - Rui Moca and Monique Joubert – had originally planned to wed next year during the winter but when the city was surprisingly covered in a blanket of the white stuff they decided to get married immediately and achieve their dream of a "real" white wedding.

Monique's sister called Jacaranda FM to tell them about the couple's plans, and the radio station began organising a minister, lawyer, photographer, flowers, cake and limo enabling the bride and groom to marry in the studio in the early evening that day.

Jacaranda DJ Martin Bester explained: "The entire wedding with all the bells and whistles was organised in just three hours."
