Published on September 2, 2019, TV presenter Betty Kyallo has spoken out about her tumultuous marriage to Dennis Okari, which ended in a dramatic stand-up on their traditional wedding day.

Betty, who is now dating a new man, recalled the painful experience in an interview with True Love Magazine.

She narrated how Okari stood her up and did not pick her calls on their traditional wedding day, leaving her feeling humiliated and betrayed.

'I needed to find out what time their entourage would arrive. But he did not pick up my call. I tired calling him again after an hour and once again it went unanswered,' Betty said.

Adding, 'At 3PM, when we tried to call again, all their phones were off. By the time the sun was going down, it was obvious that I had been stood up on my traditional wedding.'

According to Betty, her mother had invited almost 250 friends from her chama to attend the traditional wedding, but only ten people showed up.

'We then decided that when Ivanna turned one, we would have the wedding. The second traditional wedding leading up to this day was attended by only 10 people. My mum and dad were the only ones present from my family. But ultimately, it was not the marriage ceremony I had dreamed of,' Betty explained.
