Couple to tie knot in Sh3.5m fete

The couple whose Sh100 wedding went viral online is set to hold an all-sponsored Sh3.5 million wedding on Valentine’s Day.

The invite only ceremony will be held at a Nairobi garden featuring high end wedding planners, decorators and caterers.

Wilson Wanjohi and Ann Muhonja will be dressed by the city’s top designers for free in an elegant themed wedding.

The pastor who officiated their Sh100 wedding that broke the internet will, however, not preside over this one as he will be the couple’s best man.

The wedding planner, Aaltonen Jumba, is a director at Slique Events Planner Limited.

He told the Saturday Nation the event was meant to be a surprise for the couple but since they are slowly getting wind of it they will be involved in the final preparations on Valentine’s Day Eve.

“We will give them something out of this world, something they could never afford but one that they totally deserve.

"As Slique events we volunteered to be the planners and got in touch with other vendors who will make the day the best day in their lives,” said Mr Jumba.

The groom’s family will be ferried from Ndunyu Njeru in Kinangop while the bride’s family will be ferried from Karandi in Nyahururu.

The families will be joined by friends and sponsors to celebrate the couple exchanging vows for the second time.

The couple will be chauffeured in luxury vehicles, among them Cadillacs, donated by a Nairobi-based hiring company.

The lush gardens that cost over Sh85,000 per day for hire have also been donated.

High end décor featuring classy props has also been provided and top wedding cinematographers and photographers will capture the moments for free.

Mr Wanjohi and his wife Ann have won many hearts after their simple wedding.
