“Love knows no borders, and tonight was a beautiful blend of friendship, family, and new beginnings,” she said.
She added:
“It was an honour to witness the breathtaking wedding of Darlene Kijemba as she said ‘I do’ to the love of her life, Joseph Kariuki, in a stunningly colourful ceremony in Limuru.”
Ruth also noted that she and her husband joined dignitaries and guests from across the region to celebrate the union.
“To the newlyweds, Darlene and Joseph, may your marriage be filled with endless laughter, deep understanding, and abundant blessings as you begin this beautiful journey together.”
Outfit Draws Attention Online
Despite the celebratory mood surrounding the wedding, much of the online discussion shifted towards Ruth’s outfit.
The politician wore a beige skirt with decorative fabric details, paired with a white ruffled blouse and a floral-patterned jacket. Dr Busia complemented the occasion in a green suit matched with a green shirt and black shoes.
Soon after the photos surfaced online, Kenyans flooded comment sections with humorous reactions, with many questioning the tailoring and styling of the outfit.
“Sometimes, Ruth, it’s hard to be on your side,” one user wrote.
Another commented:
“Fundi wenyu huwa hajaribu ata.”
A different social media user joked:
“Huyu fundi aekwe ndani.”
Others focused on the skirt’s design, with one person writing:
“Ruth yooo, umevaa gunia ama skirt?”
However, not all reactions were negative. Some supporters defended Ruth and praised her confidence.
“Great looks, mheshimiwa, you equally dressed well,” another user commented.
