When President Uhuru’s family hosts Achola Fiona, the fiancée to Jomo, the president’s first born son tomorrow in Gatundu, it will be business unusual.

The lovebirds who are expected to tie the knot officially in December in what is could be the wedding of the year are in for a glamourous party.

It is a traditional wedding ceremony like no other that will see all traditional marriage rituals carried out as celebrations take centre stage.

It is the second significant ceremony the young couple is being treated to since it became public that they were an item early last year.

Early last week, the First Family sent out wedding invites to close family friends, prominent personalities and friends as final plans were being put into place on the two lovebirds’ wedding that will take in the groom’s ancestral Gatundu. Sources have hinted that the village is in a joyous mood as residents prepare to welcome Jomo’s heartthrob home.

It will be an invite-only affair and all guests have been urged to carry their invitation cards to the ceremony.

This comes hardly a month after the two families held a traditional wedding that was kept a top secret and whose attention got the press a day after it had taken place.

The traditional Kikuyu wedding ceremony was held at Fiona’s parent’s Miotioni home in Nairobi’s Karen estate on October 22.

Fiona, who has been described as a tall, brainy lady is the granddaughter of the late Luo political giant, Dr William Odongo Omamo.

Dr Omamo, the father of Defence Cabinet Secretary, Raychelle Omamo, and who was nicknamed Kaliech (elephant) and kuri kuri (come to me), died at 82 in 2010.

Fiona, an accountant at a local bank, holds two Masters Degrees.

She also has Ugandan roots.
