8 Year Old Boy Who Married 61-Year-Old Woman To Please His Ancestors Is Settling Down To Married Life
Dressed in a bow tie and tiny silver suit, little Sanele, the youngest of five children, exchanged rings in front of 100 guests and even puckered up for a kiss. Sanele said:
‘My grandfather contacted me through a picture of my mother’s wedding. We have a special bond because I am named after him.
He (Grandfather) said he had seen the picture and felt sad that he had never been able to have a white wedding of his own so he asked me to get married. I chose Helen because I love her.
The [wedding] day was great and it was exactly what I had imagined it would be like.
My friends thought it was really funny that I was getting married but I do now feel like a husband.’
