After the glitzy
wedding, their honeymoon started with a weekend stay in Diani followed by a 15
day tour around the world, an adventure made easier by Africa Tours Safari.
She opted for a traditional
long veil that was about four metres long. However, it was too long and heavy
that she only wore it for the ceremony. She had expensive Swarovski crystals
applied at the bottom of her gown and veil, so it glittered as she walked down
the aisle, and that was the only modification she made to her dress
Her makeup was done by
Cate Macharia who was also responsible for fellow TV girl Janet Mbugua’s
wedding makeup. She wanted a simple beautiful look for her big day as opposed
to sexy.
While the invite list
was set at 250, the couple ended up hosting around 700 guests due to demand
Unlike the norm, the
couple did not view the final décor work prior to the wedding as they did not
want to micromanage the creative minds of Evensis Ventures. They admit that
they were amazed at the outcome.
She had her hair and
that of her brides maids custom made by Darling Kenya two days prior to her
wedding. The hair type is so new that cosmetics and hair beauty company Darling
Kenya does not have a name for it yet and are still calling it Betty Hair.
Groomsmen wore Turkish
ready-made suits. To add a playful touch and bring happy thoughts to the look,
Dennis came up with a last minute idea of wearing brightly coloured socks that
he bought for all his groomsmen.
The song that Dennis
danced to; Feeling Good, by Michael Buble, was specifically picked to break the
notion that he cannot dance, due to the nature of his investigative TV job. He
also chose Stuck Like Glue, by Sugarland that led the bridal procession as it
is not common and is a romantic song. Pachelbel’s Canon in D’, chosen for its
soothing nature and beautiful strings, walked Betty down the aisle.
Friday was a neutral
wedding day to accommodate both sides of the family; the groom’s SDA side that
do not have weddings on Saturdays and the bride’s Catholic side that prefer not
to have weddings on Sundays. It would also ensure minimal number of children
showed up in keeping with the theme of the wedding; English elegance.
.The home-made 7-tier
wedding cake by Shazila Mohammed was a blend of vanilla, chocolate and coffee
flavours and weighed 25kg. It represented the oneness of their unity. The
parents were given separate cakes thereafter
