On October 25, 2019, a couple in Nairobi made headlines with their unconventional wedding at the AG's office. The intimate ceremony, attended by just a few friends, was a far cry from the lavish weddings often seen in the city.

The couple's decision to keep things simple and affordable has sparked a much-needed conversation about the societal pressures surrounding weddings. In a society where expensive ruracio's and weddings have become the norm, this couple's choice to do things differently is a breath of fresh air.

As the couple's story goes, they chose to forego the traditional wedding expenses, instead opting for a more realistic and pragmatic approach to life. Their decision is a testament to the fact that love and commitment can be celebrated without breaking the bank.

For those who can afford it, splurging on a wedding may be a viable option. However, for those who cannot, it's essential to remember that the marriage, not the wedding, is what truly matters.

As the couple's story continues to inspire, it's clear that there's a growing need to redefine what a wedding should look like. By breaking away from societal expectations, couples can focus on what truly matters – their love and commitment to each other.

Congratulations to the happy couple, Obi and Schatz!
