National Assembly Deputy Speaker, Gladys Shollei on Monday, August 7 wedded her fiancé, Neil Horn, during their long-awaited traditional engagement in a joyous and exclusive ceremony.

The highly-anticipated event, whose photos were shared all over social media platforms and seen by Viral Tea, captured Shollei donning a beautiful flowy red dress, and a black clutch bag and accessorised the look with a Maasai neckpiece. 

Horn donned a long, traditional navy blue kaftan shirt, cream trousers, black shoes and a beige hat as well as a traditional cane as an accessory.

The traditional engagement was a testament to the couple's love and commitment, marking the beginning of their journey together.

It was attended by close friends and family, among them lawyer Donald Kipkorir and Health Cabinet Secretary (CS) Susan Nakhumicha.

"Today, my BFF Hon. Gladys Boss Shollei & her husband Dr Neil Horn had a multicultural jamboree to celebrate their beautiful marriage.

"Gladys has been my BFF since August 1988: 35 YEARS TODAY. And our friend Health Minister Nakhumicha was in attendance," Kipkorir tweeted. 

Shollei and Horn's love story became public knowledge three years ago, capturing the attention of the media and the public when their pictures surfaced on various social media platforms in 2020.

Since then, not much has been reported regarding Horn's personal life suggesting that they agreed to keep their personal lives away from the glare of the media.

This is Shollei's second marriage since divorcing her first husband, Sam Shollei, who is a former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Standard Group Limited.

Shollei, on his part, married journalist Faith Ronoh who hails from Chepkorio, Elgeyo Marakwet on Friday, January 10, 2020. The wedding was reportedly attended by relatives and close friends of the two families.

Gladys, a lawyer, and Sam divorced in early January 2020 with the Uasin Gishu Woman Rep being granted custody over their two children. 

The Deputy Speaker's wedding coincidentally comes days after her son Dr Kim Kogos married the love of his life Joy Cheptile.

"My heart was filled with joy and pride as my son Dr Kim Kogos married his most beautiful bride, Ms Joy Cheptile. As a mother to the groom, I wish the happy couple endless joy and abundant blessings," she wrote on social media on Monday, July 31.
