At that point companies began tossing in blessings and gifts for the couple. Offers of everything from beer to cooking pots to sportswear gushed in on Friday, alongside a large number of pounds worth of donations and sponsors and that includes a free article of the couple's love story and a free honeymoon ride. 

"We would love to make their union even more special by offering them a two-page spread in our magazine so they can tell their beautiful love story!" tweeted DRUM magazine.

One of the top automobile manufacturers and famous luxury cars in the world today, Audi, actually offers to drive the couple to their honeymoon.

"These honeymoon destinations look far. Someone needs to drive them there. We got you," tweeted South Africa's official Audi account.
