Hollywood-style wedding in PE

Leigh-Anne van der Merwe and Clinton Sebba of Port Elizabeth had a Hollywood-style wedding, thanks to Leigh-Anne’s uncle Colin Cowie ­ who is party planner to the stars in the US and a friend of Oprah Winfrey. His previous wedding planning clients included Charlie Sheen, Jerry Seinfeld, Lisa Kudrow and Hugh Hefner. Colin is originally from East London. This was the first family wedding he did and all the linens, menus, table placings, tablecloths and invitations were flown in from New York. The 130 guests enjoyed a cocktail reception followed by dinner at a country estate in Port Elizabeth. The wedding will feature on SABC3’s Top Billing. Leigh-Anne's dress was designed by Johan Wolmaran. The family was in celebration mode as Colin's mother Gloria, who lives in East London, turned 79. Her birthday festivities were part of the three-day wedding celebration.
