Actress Quanita Adams ties the knot

Quanita Adams married her American sweetheart Brian Monroe, last week.
Their official ceremony was in January, with the reception held at The City Hall in Cape Town last week.
The reception was a combination of two cultures.
“I come from a Muslim family and so I am all about three dresses, multiple events, huge numbers and biryani,” Quanita said.
“We got 300 people to celebrate and witness our marriage at the City Hall. I have always loved this venue, not only for the majesty of the old building, but for the historical significance too. It’s such an important landmark. It was perfect.”
Brian proposed on a Monday in their home while bringing her coffee in bed.
“That’s a luxury I have enjoyed every day in the years that we have been together. It wasn’t a cheesy Instagram photo shoot, but it was perfect.
“On our wedding day, his parents were here from America and also my brother and his family from Norway.”
For her January ceremony, she wore a green and gold sari-inspired dress by Tasleem Bulbulia. On Tuesday, she wore two dresses, both made by designer Ronel Wagener.
“Again, the dresses were made from fabric I had bought in India. I love the style, the aesthetic, the numerous costume changes that go with that kind of wedding.”
She had 25 bridesmaids, including actresses Kim Engelbrecht from The Flash, and former 7de Laan star Diaan Lawrenson.
They exchanged vows with readings from the Quran and Bob Marley.
