Citizen TV senior political reporter Stephen Letoo, who happens to be the Men's Conference chairman, tied the knot with his fiancée Irene Renoi Kiptikoi in a colourful ceremony held at the Methodist Church in Narok County on Saturday, April 20.

The event began as the bride, in a video seen by Viral Tea, walked down the aisle in the company of her parents as her bridesmaids followed suit.

The bridesmaids donned traditional attire with a mixture of maroon and gold for the floor-length dresses and tops respectively.

The groomsmen complimented the ladies' wear with an elegant attire of Nigerian origin, Isiagu - which entails a top chain button with a maroon hat. Letoo on his part starred with his black Agbada accompanied by a dash of gold.

"I take you to be my lovely wedded husband till death do as part. I love you so much," Irene stated much to the applause of those in attendance.

"The love of my life, I give you this ring as a sign of love everlasting from today and forever, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Amen," Letoo committed on his part.

Following the church ceremony, the procession moved to the Ole Ntimama stadium for a social gathering which saw the stadium filled to the rafters.

Social media was abuzz with conversations on the public wedding for the award-winning journalist with many congratulating him.

A list of entertainers is anticipated to ignite the stadium as the event is expected to stream into the night.

Letoo reportedly made his way to Kilgoris in the company of friends on Friday, April 19 to pay dowry, paving the way for today’s public wedding.

A video doing rounds on social media showed the journalist donning a stylish outfit and boarding a chopper in the company of friends and colleagues, part of the whos who in the Kenyan media industry who were in attendance.

Reports indicated that the chopper ride was for the dowry ceremony.

Among them were Citizen TV's Editorial Director Linus Kaikai, NTV's Kennedy Murithi who served as the best man, Swahili news anchor Swaleh Mdoe, NTV's Makori Ongechi, Ben Kirui, Brian Muchiri, Chemutai Goin and Melita Ole Tenges.

The self-declared men's Conference chairman has in the past shared his stand on polygamy, revealing that he supports the same as long as all parties are comfortable and are taken care of in the union.

The journalist revealed in a recent interview that the couple would head to honeymoon separately.

"I told the chief guest of that day to choose where he wants to go. As for me, I'll go on my own honeymoon and she will go on hers.

"Honeymoon is supposed to be to shed off the sweat that you've gotten through very rigorous planning, not to struggle in making a baby abroad," he said.
