Taking to Instagram on Monday morning, Tamaryn simply confirmed her union with a picture of herself and her husband seated on a set of steps at their wedding venue with the caption: “Here’s to the best day of my life. Husband and Wife.”
Kumalo shared a beautiful message in the comments under the photo.
“What a beautiful and blessed day it was, witnessing a coming together of two families and two souls united in love and by love. To say that it was a wedding to remember would be an understatement.
