The mind boggles.....

[factor-fiction]

It could be true. It wasn't a genuine marriage.
The article says:
"Sanele and his bride did not sign a marriage certificate and do not have to live together. Both have gone back to their normal lives.
Sanele today said he hoped he would have a proper wedding to a woman his own age when he was older."

??????? Yeuch !!!!

Weird and I don't believe for a second that dead ancestors would care one way or the other. Still, at least all the people involved a happy with it and it was only a "show wedding".

[Smowball]

Very odd, lol.

Is it so amazing?

[Smowball]

God I'd forgotten about that story Sqad...... But 8 years old??

Time to be elsewhere.

Have a happy day everyone.

When people start believing in these weird belief systems, anything goes, a bit like religion really!

This kind of thing doesn't surprise me anymore.

for goodness sake -! no sex was involved! -it was a mock wedding by people who probably follow some sort of Pagan faith, I would guess voodoo. It might be more sensible to read an article in its entirety rather than just the headlines before posting.

[Smowball]

Err, I did read the article. Even just for a religious/pagan ritual its still pretty odd.

[RATTER15]

magsmay, calm down, nobody except you has even mentioned sex.

[magsmay]

Smowball -so you're an expert now in pagan rituals are you? ;-)

[magsmay]

ratter - the OP made reference to squads video post on an alleged 13 year old father - I presume sex was involved in that process (although reading the article there is rumour he was not actually the father) -so my following post referred to the OP's statement // But 8 years old??//
hope that clarifys - at a mock wedding the age, surely, is unimportant?

[RATTER15]

Magsmay, you are now trying to wind up Smow, she is just saying its a bit odd, wind your neck in!!

[Smowball]

Yes magsmay, I frequently hold one every Sunday afternoon in my back garden, complete with the neighbours 2 dogs and several lambs.......)

[magsmay]

think smows quite capable of fighting her own battles ratter ;-)

[Smowball]

Hello Ratter : )

[RATTER15]

Hi Smowball I bet you also dance naked in woods late at night don't you? :-)

[Smowball]

B@gger! You've seen me then...... ; )
