2024 has been a remarkable year for love with a parade of high-profile weddings that captured public attention.

From intimate gatherings to vibrant cultural showcases, these unions reflected the joy, diversity, and significance of love and marriage.
Justice Muchelule
Court of Appeal Judge Justice Agrey Muchelule married Judy Kerich in a grand ceremony on November 30, 2024.
The event, which took place on Friday in Kesses, Uasin Gishu County, was a colourful celebration of love, attended by leaders from all branches of government.
Prominent figures such as National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula and Head of Public Service Felix Koskei were among the guests who graced the occasion.
Speaking at the ceremony, Wetang’ula highlighted the significance of unity.
“With the marriage bringing together two communities, I called on the attendees to utilise the vibrant cultures of the two tribes, embrace the diversity it offers, look beyond the tribes, and have a national outlook.”
Adding;
“I hope your future together is filled with infinite happiness, laughter, and love.”
Stephen Letoo
Journalist Stephen Letoo and his fiancée, Irene Renoi Kiptikoi, tied the knot in a much-anticipated wedding in April 2024. The beautiful event began at the Methodist Church in Narok, followed by a vibrant reception at Ole Ntimama Stadium. Family, friends and the public came together to celebrate the couple with great joy, colour, and excitement.
Before this big day, they had a traditional wedding in Kilgoris that included the culturally significant dowry payment ceremony.
In a previous interview with Obinna TV, the Men’s Conference Chairman Letoo shared his unconventional take on honeymoon plans. He explained that instead of travelling together, he and his wife would each choose separate destinations for their honeymoons.
“I told the guest of honour to choose where she wanted to go for that day. I will go on my honeymoon alone, and she will go on hers. The honeymoon should be about wiping off the sweat you’ve gone through with very thorough plans. Not going to struggle to conceive a child abroad,” Letoo said.
Kipchumba Karori
State House legal counsel Kipchumba Karori Oliver Kipchumba Karori and his lover Dorothy Jepchumba tied the knot on May 31, 2024, in a beautiful wedding ceremony at St. John The Evangelist Catholic Church in Karen, Nairobi.
Karori and his bride exchanged vows in the presence of family, friends, and notable dignitaries.
Among those who attended were First Lady Rachel Ruto, Head of Public Service Felix Koseki, and Energy CS Davis Chirchir.
Sharing words of wisdom, Mama Rachel quoted Matthew 19:6.
“So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
“I extend my congratulations to Kipchumba Karori and Dorothy Jepchumba on their sacred union at St. John The Evangelist Catholic Church in Nairobi. May their journey together be filled with blessings, joy, and the kind of love that grows stronger every day. Here’s to a lifetime of happiness and togetherness,” Rachel extended her warm wishes to the newlyweds.
