The latest episode of Our Perfect Wedding opened their doors for us to witness Precious Shirinda and Martin Mahope tie the knot. 

And while this is Martin's third marriage, he is Precious' first boyfriend. This is because of how strict the 36-year-old's grandmother is, ruling that the only man to bring back home is the one you will marry. 

The couple met on an internet dating site in 2016.

Martin revealed that he was scared to date someone who never been with another man.

"I didn't know that I was her first boyfriend. But what I knew is that she was a virgin. For me, I was a little scared of this, dating somebody who has never been with a man," said Martin. 

He also said that she was someone he was also looking for, someone who can help him take care of his four children.

For the nuptials, Precious wore numerous boobtube dresses starting off with her wedding gown. Her bridesmaids wore off the shoulder mint dresses while the groomsmen looked stylish as ever. Martin wore a navy blue suit.

Their theme colours were mint, blue and white. 

Walking down the aisle — and in an attempt to hider nerves — the bride sang along with the music. "When I saw her walking down, she looked like an angel," recalls Martin. 

Day one went down like any other wedding day, with food and lots of celebrating. 

Day two, the celebrations headed down to Martin's home to formally welcome their new makoti. The couple and their guests spent the day dancing and enjoying hearty food. 

At the end of the day, Mr and Mrs Mohape declared that this was their "perfect blessed wedding".
