Judith and Msaidizi exchanged vows on August 13, 2025, during a wedding ceremony attended by friends and family.
The ceremony was officiated by Pastor T Mwangi, with DJ Mo Kenya serving as the best man and Size 8 Reborn as the maid of honour.
During the ceremony, Judith made an emotional promise to her husband, declaring her commitment to remain with him through life and death.
“Wherever you die, I will die and there I will be buried. May the Lord punish me severely if I ever allow anything bad to separate us. I love you, my love, forever and always,” she said.
Her declaration, particularly the reference to death and God’s punishment, became a talking point among social media users, with some questioning the intensity of the promise while others celebrated the emotional expression of love.
The wedding video also features a romantic song praising the woman the singer loves, adding to the emotional atmosphere of the moment.
