Celebrities are fond of going out of their ways to look good for the cameras and just to impress their fans, especially when it comes to weddings and birthday parties.
However, for comedian popular Esther Kazungu and her lover James Kibunja, who is a renowned event MC, all that does not count.
The two wedded in a simple ceremony that did not cost them much.
According to their friend, activist Boniface Mwangi, the couple has dated for six years.
When they finally decided to settle down after an engagement party in May this year, the duo did not ask their friends to fundraise for a wedding.
“Dated for six years. God married yesterday, September 24. Civil marriage, lunch with family and close friends, total Ksh60,000,” Mwangi said.
He urged lovebirds to emulate the new couple in town.
“Stop the peer pressure of expensive weddings. Love the one you choose,” the activist wrote on Twitter.
Kazungu, who is famed for her funny skits, echoed what the activist said, adding that a simple or a lavish wedding means nothing if the lovers did it for showoff.
“It is not a competition. Just do what you can without overstretching. To some, Khs1 million is not a stretch. Different strokes for different folks,” she said.
Many Kenyans were impressed and supported the idea of couples working with the budget they have without pressuring friends and forming WhatsApp groups to raise money.
Chris Osman said: “If a woman suggests to you a grand wedding, ask her if she will finance it. If yes, well and good, but if she insists on you funding it, dump her.”
Farhan Yusuf noted: “This lesson cannot be emphasised enough. All bachelors should get this message.”
