We feature real Bella Brides in every edition. Leandri and JP's wedding had God's voice throughout - at key points during the ceremony, thunder struck. In the week prior to the wedding, JP had a vision of gold liquid flowing from the trees as Leandri walked down the aisle towards him. JP then anointed every single tree the morning of the wedding and had Bible study with his father who officiated their wedding.

We feature real Bella Brides in every edition. In this edition, we met Christine and Gregan - who met in pre-school, and when meeting up in grade 8, he promised himself he would marry her one day. A decade later, he did. They tied the knot in an emotional ceremony at Mariza's historic Fountain Villa.
