A Significant Cultural Milestone

Among the Kikuyu community, ruracio is one of the most important traditional marriage ceremonies. It involves negotiations and the presentation of bride wealth by the groom's family to the bride's family.
More than a financial exchange, it symbolises respect, commitment and the joining together of two families.
