Our Perfect Wedding follows couples as they go through the planning and up to the conclusion of their weddings. Chidzonga, to end the show, will be asking them if it was their perfect wedding.

Zambia also has its own version of the show.

Our Perfect Wedding Zimbabwe is produced by a Zimbabwean company, Ngoda TV, who were commissioned by Zambezi Magic for the full series production, Multichoice Zimbabwe said.

Timothy Okwaro, M-Net’s director of East and Southern African channels, said: “Across Africa, we love a good celebration and a wedding is a celebration of the best kind.

“There’s nothing like watching a happy couple taking a walk down the aisle to pledge their love for one another in front of their loved ones. I’m particularly proud that this show will bring viewers across Southern Africa the Zimbabwean version of wedding celebrations. That’s how we, on Zambezi Magic, continue to tell our stories.”

Adiona Chidzonga is married to former Big Brother star Munya.
