In the video, she disclosed that her pregnancy had unexpectedly interfered with their original wedding plans.
"I had not told anyone at home that I was pregnant. I had just told my close friends," Ruth K explained.
"It was not supposed to be an introduction party. We did not know you cannot do ruracio (a traditional dowry payment ceremony) when you are pregnant. After asking around, we were told it could not happen."
This revelation came as a surprise to many, as it is a common tradition in some communities that a woman should not undergo the traditional dowry payment ceremony process while pregnant.

Ruth K further explained that after learning about this, they had to alter their plans, leading to the introduction ceremony taking place two weeks after their originally planned date.
"The elders said I had to give birth first for some procedures to happen," Ruth K continued. "Both parents then agreed to shift the plans to an introduction ceremony so that families from both sides could get to know each other."
