The much-loved Suzelle DIY has swapped her power tools for a pair of heels and hair extensions in the ShowMax Original Tali’s Wedding Diary. Julia Anastasopoulos (aka Suzelle DIY) is Tali, a self-obsessed princess from Sandton who has moved to Cape Town and found her prince charming in the form of property agent Darren (Anton Taylor, star of the popular web series Jozi Shore and the award-winning short Money, Keys, Phone).
After Darren proposes, Tali is determined to have the perfect wedding – from the engagement announcement to the perfect white dress. She’s so determined to be the best no matter the cost, even if there’s no groom at the end of the aisle.
Tali’s Wedding Diary was inspired by Julia’s own wedding to Suzelle DIY director Ari Kruger. ‘There’s so much comedic material in getting married,’ says Julia. ‘You meet the funniest people and there’s so much stuff you can’t actually believe, but somehow we’d never seen a wedding parody in a South African context before.’

Since introducing Suzelle DIY to YouTube, Julia and Ari have created more than 80 Suzelle videos, with more than 23-million views. ‘Tali and Suzelle are very different characters,’ says Julia. ‘Everyone loves Suzelle, but audiences are going to love to hate Tali. She’s definitely a bridezilla; she’s determined to have the perfect wedding, with or without her husband-to-be.’ She says while Suzelle would love Tali, Tali would find Suzelle irritating.
Tali’s Wedding Diary will be available to binge-watch on ShowMax from 14 December 2017.
