A wedding is a glorious occasion for many women (and men?) that is supposed to be the culmination of a courtship/romance.

It is supposed to signal the begin of a new phase for the couple. While some think only love is celebrated on this occasion, I have a different theory. Greed and excess are also celebrated. But what do I know?

A wedding that is going to be held in Kisumu is going to break records from the photos and videos that we have seen. The exclusive who is who function will have a new setup and theme for each and every day that it is held.

That is not all. The invite-only event had wedding cards that cost 35,000 shillings each. And the reason for that was that each different card was to represent a different day of the wedding.

That is not all! The card did not only contain pieces of aromatic paper alone but also some food. Which food? Chocolates of course! The cost of an ordinary wedding is in the hundreds of thousands. What must these one cost?

I estimate in the region of between 10 and 20 million shillings easily. Easily. No that I am done guessing. let us take a look at the video below:
