Abstract: | The loyal, committed and very decent Elvis leaves Johannesburg to pick up his best friend and best man Tumi in Durban. The two will then journey on to Cape Town to begin rehearsals for Elvis's wedding to the beautiful Ayanda. But things don't always go according to plan. As Tumi and Elvis struggle to find their way through the Eastern Cape they pick up Rose, a young English doctor who fled the altar after discovering her fiancée was serially unfaithful to her. Now there's an unlikely trio on the road, two black men driving across South Africa with a white woman in tow could raise a few eyebrows. But romantic sparks ignite between the flirtatious Tumi and their spirited British companion. 'White Wedding' might seem, at first glance, to be a gentle comedy about a chaotic wedding ceremony, but it takes a honest view of how social culture is working in South Africa, exposing the racial and personal fractures that still grind and crack under the surface of urban society.
