A MILLIONAIRE taxi boss pulled out all the stops for his A-list dream wedding with 30000 roses flown in from Kenya and 10000 orchids from Holland.

In a marquee in his backyard in Kwaggafontein, Mpumalanga, Bafana Sindane held a lavish reception for his sweetheart Ouma Mdhluli.

No expense was spared at the R1.7-million two-day extravaganza.

The star-studded affair was attended by fashion designer David Tlale, actresses Amanda DuPont and Samkelo Ndlovu, soccer star Morgan Gould and gospel singer Sechaba.

Mdhluli wore a virginal white off-the-shoulder David Tlale gown decorated with white flower detail running across her body while the groom, also in David Tlale opted for a yellow floral jacket and yellow Irish linen pants and shirt. Tlale said the brief was "only the best".

The guests were transported to the reception in supercars such as Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsches.

The theme was yellow and white. The five-tier cake hung from the ceiling along with chandeliers and roses.

The bride's wedding ring set Sindane back R130000. As if that wasn't enough, she was presented with an AMG Mercedes Benz.

Mafikizolo and Bucie serenaded the guests in the beautifully decorated marquee where a three-course meal was feasted on and variants of Moët and 19-year-old Glenfiddich whisky were on tap.
