Just days after their much-talked-about wedding, Charlene Ruto and her husband Isaya Yunge stepped out together for Sunday church service on November 8, choosing the African Inland Church Nyanguge in Mwanza, Tanzania, for the occasion.
The couple pulled up to the venue in a black Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV, and Isaya was spotted carrying Charlene in his arms as they arrived.

Footage showed them walking side by side up the steps into the light-blue church building.
What caught the attention of many was what happened once they were inside.
Despite Charlene being the daughter of President William Ruto, the couple did not head for the seats typically reserved for guests of honour at the front of the church.
Instead, they settled near the rear, blending in with the rest of the congregation. Isaya was seen engrossed in the Bible during the service, with Charlene seated close beside him.
The two were later called to the front of the church, where the congregation prayed over them as a newly married couple.
The display of modesty resonated widely, with many Kenyans and Tanzanians praising the couple online for their understated behaviour at the service.
