Condolences pour in after ‘Our Perfect Wedding’ bride passes on shortly after filming

Last night’s episode of Our Perfect Wedding has left South Africans heartbroken after Stella Malebye’s passing.

The episode aired the story of Stella and David, who met at their mutual friend’s house in 2015.

According to Mzansi Magic, David was there to help his friend fit his new stove on the same day Stella happened to be visiting her friend.

While it was love at first sight for David, Stella was not interested at first despite her friend’s assurance that he was a good guy.

Stella was going through a “messy” divorce at the time.

After a failed date, in which Stella did not pitch, they bumped into each other at a mall and David called her “my wife”. That was when their relationship began.

The couple shared both their ex-partners were “quite the problem” in the beginning, though they managed to deal with it.

The episode received positive reviews from viewers, who said the couple’s wedding was perfect.

They were, however, saddened to hear Stella died shortly after filming the episode and condolences have been pouring in.

“We were saddened to hear that our bride passed on shortly after the filming of this episode. Our deepest condolences go to her husband, family and friends. Rest in peace, Stella Malebye,” said Mzansi Magic.

There was an episode on #OurPerfectWedding where Mr&Mrs weren’t served food by the caterer. The presenter was so shocked gore batho ba timiwa dijo lenyalong la bona and the caterer said that the bride and groom don’t eat at their wedding. I fully understand now.
