Kirinyaga governor Anne Waiguru has shared a touching moment from her family as her eldest son, Ian, officially got engaged to his fiancée, Joan, in an event attended by close family and friends.

In a heartfelt message shared on her X account, the governor expressed pride and gratitude as she marked the milestone in her son’s life.

“Ian, with joy and gratitude, we celebrate this beautiful milestone in your life. Your engagement to Joan is not only a union of hearts but also a promise of a shared future built on love, respect, and faith.

May your journey together be blessed with harmony, laughter, and enduring companionship. As a mother, I couldn’t be more proud. Love you.” Waiguru wrote.

The video accompanying the post captured emotional scenes from the ceremony, including a tender moment where Waiguru is seen gently wiping tears of joy from her soon-to-be daughter-in-law’s face, who was dressed in a baby pink dress with a bouquet of flowers, reflecting the close bond between the family.

The ceremony also included a prayer session, with the couple kneeling as church elders offered blessings.

Messages of goodwill later poured in from Kenyans, many praising the event’s simplicity and elegance.

Despite being the son of a high-profile political figure, Ian has largely maintained a low public profile.

Known for his entrepreneurial drive, Ian ventured into business at the age of 18 and is the founder of IT firm Something Inc.

The ceremony followed a neutral, beige-themed dress code, with Waiguru standing out in a beige outfit accented with kitenge, blending elegance with a touch of cultural flair.

Guests, drawn from the couple’s inner circle, kept the celebration intimate and personal.

The engagement has drawn warm reactions online, with many congratulating the family and wishing the couple a future filled with love and success.
