Nonkululeko's Bridal Shower
A bridal shower is a gift-giving party held for a bride-to-be in anticipation of her wedding. The custom originated in the 1890s
The custom of the bridal shower is said to have grown out of earlier dowry practices, when a poor woman's family might not have the money to provide a dowry for her, or when a father refused to give his daughter her dowry because he did not approve of the marriage. In such situations, friends of the woman would gather together and bring gifts that would compensate for the dowry and allow her to marry the man of her choice.
We recently captured the happiness at the bridal shower of Nonkululeko at the Westcliff Hotel. Here is a look at their photo booth action.
Nonkululeko, we wish you only eternal love and blessings for your upcoming nuptials.
