Pastor Mokoro has sparked debate over wedding expenses after questioning why couples would spend as much as Sh20 million on a wedding ceremony instead of investing the money in their future.

The pastor criticised extravagant wedding celebrations, arguing that couples should prioritise financial stability and long-term investments rather than spending huge amounts of money on a single day's event.

"Why would you burn KSh20 million over a wedding?" Pastor Mokoro posed.

She challenged men to reconsider their financial priorities, arguing that money set aside for expensive wedding celebrations could instead be directed towards investments, property acquisition or other ventures that would benefit a couple in the long run.

Mokoro also cautioned women against marrying men who ask them to contribute money towards financing their own wedding ceremonies.

She questioned the financial expectations placed on women during wedding preparations, suggesting that couples should carefully consider their financial readiness before committing to expensive celebrations.

Her remarks have reignited conversations about the growing cost of weddings in Kenya, where some couples spend millions of shillings on venues, catering, entertainment, decoration and other wedding-related expenses.

While weddings remain important cultural and social celebrations, the debate continues over whether spending large sums on ceremonies is worth the financial pressure it can place on newly married couples.
