George Ruto, son of President William Ruto, broke his silence on Saturday, November 8, the day after his sister Charlene’s wedding, with a post that had the internet talking for all the right reasons.
Charlene wed Isaya Yunge in a ceremony held at Africa Inland Church Tanzania.
What did George Ruto say about Charlene’s wedding?
The bride looked stunning in a long-sleeved white lace wedding gown, complete with a flowing veil and a delicate floral hairpiece.
She was photographed smiling warmly while holding the service programme near a wooden podium bearing the church’s logo, with Isaya, dressed in a sharp white suit, gesturing beside her in what appeared to be a relaxed, joyful moment during the vows.
The photos George posted painted a picture of a close-knit family affair. One image showed him grinning in a light beige suit, white shirt and dark tie as he leaned across a table towards President William Ruto, with First Lady Rachel Ruto visible in the foreground amid white tablecloths and floral arrangements.
In another shot, George and Isaya shared a warm hug, with the groom cutting a stylish figure in his white suit, black bow tie, sunglasses and a rose-gold watch.
A third photo captured George standing on the grass beside rows of white chairs framed by lush white and red floral arrangements under a tent, holding a chair as he looked off to the side.
Sharing a series of photos from the ceremony on social media, George kept things light with a caption that balanced celebration with humour:
“The herd was paid, the vows exchanged. Deal officially sealed! 💍🐄”
The post quickly drew a wave of reactions, ranging from heartfelt congratulations to some playful teasing.
The cow emoji in George’s caption was a nod to the tradition of bride price, a cultural practice common across many communities in Kenya and the wider East African region, where cattle or other gifts are presented by the groom’s family to the bride’s family.
