¨I am no longer interested in attending weddings!¨ Bien Aime to his ´haters´

Posted on by Gloria Katunge

Sauti Sol´s Bien Aime Baraza and his fiancée, Chiki Kuruka had their nuptials early in the month but in an invites-only event that left many scarred.

The wedding dates in the first place, were meant to confuse the public and avoid giving any sorts of clues to individuals outside the couple´s inner circle.

Either way, the wedding went down as planned at the Pallet Cafe, Lavington, without the public´s involvement on their big day.

Many have since held grudges against them for lack of an invite to their major step in life. However, Bien categorically had this to tell them:

Only those who know me as Alusa, not Bien (were invited). My message to those who are mad at me because they were not invited is, they should hold their weddings and don´t invite me. I am no longer interested in attending weddings because I have attended so many of them. It was my way of celebrating my commitment to my wife.

Fortunate enough, the wedding brought together parents from both sides in what was considered a success.

We had a good time with both families. My dad got the opportunity to interact with Chiki´s dad. They now know each other.

Lovebirds, Bien Aime and Chiki Kuruka

In the current day and age, star-studded and lavish weddings are the order of the day especially among celebrities.

However, the Sauti Sol´s lead vocalist stressed:

Please don´t do a wedding to please your parents. Do it depending on the size of your pockets, how much you can afford. A wedding is the beginning of your life. So don´t spend all your money on a wedding. Do something small and affordable. You better spend much on your honeymoon than at the wedding.

According to him, it makes no sense to have to run into debts just to finance a wedding that is meant to please family, friends and the world at large.

Stop borrowing loans and money from your friends so you can hold a big wedding and go into debt.

Because for them, their wedding budget was pretty within their means:

The budget was less than Ksh 300,000. A good budget for artistes like me.

The newly weds were unable to proceed on their honeymoon following the COVID-19 pandemic but eventually:

If I will go, I will choose an African country.

Sauti Sol´s band member, Bien Aime Baraza made an honest wife out of his long-term girlfriend, Chiki Kuruka in a private event.

The leafy suburbs of Lavington graced a dear Bien and Chiki who left the venue, declared husband and wife.

Fellow bad members were present to celebrate Bien as he made a mark in his life. His big boys: Nameless and Nyashinski also stood to be counted.

However, no phones were allowed into the location, to allow for a private and indulging event between the sweethearts and those present.

A close source to divulged:

It was easy and looked more like a celebration. Nobody was allowed to have phones in the venue as they wanted everyone to be part of the wedding and not to divert their minds by snapping videos on their gadgets. That is why nothing leaked. With guests being asked to leave their phones at the reception.

The source added that those invited had been told they were just having lunch. However, the location and actual event details were set to them later on the night on 5th March.

Initially, the set date was the 7th of March but to mix up their fans, it was then moved to the 6th, unknown to the masses.

MC

Well, what is a social event without a master of ceremony for the day? The wedding´s MC was none other than Chiki´s BFF, Tallia Oyando.

What men can do,… Tallia nailed it harder.

Chiki had been out with Tallia, at the spa prior to the wedding, but diverted all the attention to the reggae Queen.

Chiki penned:

Yesterday @nywelenzurijunctionmall (awesome place btw)me and @kadzo_ celebrated one of my favourite people, @talliaoyando . Tallia and I have been friends for 4 years now, and she is the very definition of ride or die, one phone call and without question she is there. She is loyal, solid and celebrates my craziness. I love you mama so much. We have already got into so much trouble together, here is to much more!
