Hitched without a stitch

Bela-Bela - This was one wedding where no one had to worry about what to wear.
They all turned up nude - the bride and bridegroom, their family and even the guests.
The wedding took place at the SunEden nudist resort near Hammanskraal in Gauteng.
Chris Janse van Vuuren and Corlia Burton, regular visitors to the resort, initially planned to get married in court. But their friends at the resort made them change their minds.
The bride wore a veil and a string of white flowers around her neck and ankle. The groom wore only a string of flowers around his neck. And that's it.
Magistrate Maryna Swanepoel, fully dressed, married the couple. She afterwards admitted that this was a "whole new experience" for her.
