Saneie Masilela, a nine-year-old South African
boy, walked down the aisle as the groom when
he married a 62-year-old woman for the second
time.
He'd be the ring boy at any other wedding, but
earlier this week a nine-year-old South African boy
walked down the aisle as the groom when he
married a 62-year-old woman for the second time,
according to local reports.
Saneie Masilela plans to marry someone his own
age one day, but says he loves mother-of-five Helen
Shabangu and wanted to go through the ritual to
appease his family's ancestors, the U.K. Mirror
reports.
A video uploaded to YouTube by U.K.-based
Barcroft Media shows the bride and groom sharing a
kiss after the ceremony, while Shabangu's 67-year-
old husband Alfred looks on.
It was the second wedding for the woman and the
schoolboy, this time in her village of Ximhungwe,
making official the rite performed last year in his
village.
The couple does not live together.
The Mirror quotes Masilela's mother, Patience, as
saying: "After the wedding, everything went back to
normal -- nothing changed."
