Actress and former partner to YY Comedian, Marya Okoth, has officially tied the knot in a glamorous white wedding with senior government official Jack Okula, months after their vibrant traditional ceremony in Gem, Siaya County. The event, which came just weeks after her private traditional wedding, went viral online, once again had social media buzzing with admiration and congratulatory messages.
In her latest celebration, Marya looked breathtaking in a flowing white gown, while her groom complemented her elegance in a crisp white suit and black tie. The two exchanged vows in a ceremony filled with love, music, and excitement, marking the start of a new chapter for the actress who has managed to stay low-key since her breakup with comedian YY.
How Did Marya Okoth’s Wedding Surprise Fans?
Marya’s traditional wedding in August had already left tongues wagging after photos of her and Okula in matching cultural attire circulated online. What made it even more eye-catching was Okula’s grand arrival in Ugenya by helicopter. Despite the attention, Marya never made a public announcement about the ceremony, keeping her personal life guarded until the white wedding photos surfaced.
The stunning visuals of her fairy-tale gown quickly spread across social media platforms, where fans and friends showered the newlyweds with love. Among those who joined in the celebration was PS Raymond Omollo, who shared his joy online: “Joined family and friends to celebrate my friend, Wakili Jack Okula and his bride, Marya, on their beautiful wedding day. Wishing the newlyweds a lifetime of love, peace and shared purpose.”
