Married Our Way

Married Our Way is a reality show that chronicles the big, bold and beautiful weddings by couples with unique or extreme interests.

It is the result of what happens when ordinary people choose to disrupt the age old wedding tradition and write it in their own image.

It takes you into the couple's novel world, whilst also celebrating the journey and the event.

Each wedding is uniquely themed by the couple, from Vikings to water-locked wedding venues, and a couple arriving on horse and carriage in the hood.

Hosts Mpumi Mlambo and Talitha Ndima travel to KwaZulu-Natal, Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Limpopo and Gauteng to show us extraordinary couples who are determined to get married their own way.

In the series premiere: Join Joy and Tebogo as they say "I Do" in the most exquisite way.

With their love story being one determined by fate and chances, Joy and Tebogo chose their picturesque wedding venue as a result of fate once more.

With a taste for the finer things in life, Joy and Tebogo journey to the winelands of Franschhoek where their families rally together to help give them the wedding of their dreams.

From the perfect groomsmen suits, to walls of memorabilia for loved ones lost, Joy and Tebogo are determined to get married their own way.
