Pastor encourages onlookers to embrace street weddings

The ceremony was led by a pastor, whose voice can be heard in the background, encouraging bystanders not to be surprised by the scene unfolding before them.

He highlighted how people are accustomed to conventional church or hotel weddings, with all the elements that society has deemed necessary for such an occasion.

However, this couple chose to defy norms and celebrate their love in a manner true to their hearts – on the streets of Nairobi, with the city's everyday hustle and bustle acting as their witnesses.

“Mnadhani hii ni sarakasi, mnadhani hii ni mazaha. This is a real wedding. The only difference is that mumezoea harusi za kanisa, harusi za hoteli, lakini hamjawahi ona za streets. This is the first time in history at Archives grounds, for a wedding to be done in this place. So we give glory to God," he said.
