The last episode on Our Perfect Wedding riled a lot of viewers after it emerged that the groom’s family and friends had snubbed him. Many viewers were moved as Martin cut a lonely figure at the ceremony, even as he was dressing.

But after the uproar, one of Martin’s brothers, Jeremy.L. Milani has stepped forward to protest the  ‘unfair’ criticism. He contacted us with his own side of the story. He alleges that the bride, Tafadzwa is  gold digger who is after Martin’s retirement funds which are now in the region of millions. He also expressed  deep concern at how ‘hurriedly’ the marriage was arranged.

 Below we reproduce the article he sent us as it is,without any alterations.

Breathing Fire, Jeremy.L. Milani

Your reporter should get their story in order before you print the bs you did about the Zimbabwean woman who married the 56-year-old man!!!!! Martin Milani story. I am his brother and I live in Canada. I moved from South Africa in 1999. Martin took care of our parents but they passed away many years ago. I HELPED HIM FINANCIALLY EVERY TIME HE WAS IN DEBT AND HAD NO MONEY. For the past 15 years I WAS THE ONE THAT WAS THERE FOR HIM, NOT THIS GOLD DIGGING WOMAN HE NOW CALLS HIS WIFE.
I flew back to South Africa in October 2015 to meet with him and surprise him. I was concerned about his well-being because he has never had a girlfriend and he met this woman when he went to put money on horses. As a very lonely man and not very mature and sensible for his age, he has very soft hear and anyone can bs him into believing they care about him. This woman lived in a room somewhere close to his house. SHE HAD VERY LITTLE MONEY AND WAS STRUGGLING FINANCIALLY. Martin’s biggest mistake was telling her he went on early retirement and he now had over R1.5 million invested for his retirement. She suddenly had a huge interest in dating him. Within one year of meeting him she managed to convince him to marry her. He fell for it like a fish because he had no family in South Africa anymore. He flew to her home town, paid a ridiculous amount of Lebola to her parents.
When I met him in October (I surprised my visit) he was so shocked and told me he wanted nothing to do with me. I wanted to tell him someone does not suddenly fall IN LOVE and marry within 6 months. I could clearly see how this woman found a way to have a great life meeting someone 20 years older than herself, moving into his house, spending HIS MONEY on repairing the house and buying all the new furniture, a new car and even opened up her own business. Strange how someone with no money SUDDENLY has all this stuff when she marries a man with money!!! When I spoke to her on the phone she claimed that she also had money. I told her she is a gold digger because she had NO MONEY before she met him but because he lacked attention, she gave him attention and “LOVE” and because he is so gullible he fell for her bs and lies.
Martin could not even help his own niece to lend her some money for her baby but yet he can spend thousands of rands on a woman who claims to love him? He is just too happy to have some strange woman care about him and he is too blind to see that she married him because of his money. The reason she has no time to talk to me or face me is because she knows I have hit the nail on the head by telling her she only married and got to know him because he opened his big mouth and told her he has a lot of money for retirement. Martin even told his neighbor off and wanted nothing to do with his neighbor yet the guy next door helped Martin out every month. A lot of people helped Martin out over the years, including other family but he had no sense of how to handle money and he never saved anything and always borrowed money from family. Now that he stopped work and has some money for pension he thinks he is too good for those who helped him. This woman he married is very convincing and a scam artist and she has convinced him she loves him…she knows he might have maybe 10 years to live but now she has spent most of HIS retirement savings on renovating the house, a new car, a new business and a grand lifestyle…all that she will inherit when he passes away.
I challenge you to print this story and let people read the truth behind the story, not the sad fact that none of his family came to support him at the wedding. HE HAS NO WHITE FRIENDS, THOSE HE DID HAVE AND WHO HELPED HIM FOR MANY YEARS HE TURNED AWAY WHEN HE SUDDENLY HAD SOME MONEY BECAUSE HE SPENT IT ALL TO BENEFIT THIS WOMAN HE CALLS HIS WIFE.
HE WAS TOO EMBARRASSED TO TELL ME THE TRUTH WHEN I VISITED HIM, HE DID NOT EVEN BOTHER TO TELL ME WAS MARRIED ONE WEEK BEFORE I ARRIVED IN OCTOBER. I ASKED HIM IF HE WAS AND HE SAID NO HE WASN’T AND HE HAS NO PLANS TO MARRY HER BECAUSE THE RELATIONSHIP IS TO NEW. NOW THEY HAVE A BIG SPLASH WEDDING WITH MEDIA COVERAGE AND EVERYONE READS THAT NO FAMILY OF HIS SUPPORTED HIM?
Just for the record I AM NOT RACIST. I have many black and asian friends in Canada . I would have loved to support him (as I have for 54 years as his brother) and maybe after you read the truth and both sides of the story that I posted you will understand why i feel this way.
