After exchanging their vows, Harrison Shikokoti and his newly married wife Hemakshi Harania threw a lavish reception at Wild Waters in Nyali where friends and relatives invited to witness the rare wedding were well treated.
Shikokoti followed the footsteps of his kinsman, Timothy Khamala commonly referred to as Bukusu darling.
Interracial marriages are common in the country but interreligious marriages are rare, making Shikokoti and Harania's wedding a once in a blue moon event.
We wish Shikokoti and Harania all the best in their union.
Shikokoti followed the footsteps of his kinsman, Timothy Khamala commonly referred to as Bukusu darling, who rose to fame after he fell in love and later married his girlfriend of Asian-origin in Webuye.
Harania carries a pot, a common Luhya practice that signifies she has taken over the role of the woman of the house.
Khamala had married Sarika Patel but due to cultural and religious differences, their union did not last for long as they had anticipated.
