Being a Kikuyu native, Njiru was undertaking a ruracio, a traditional event characterised by dowry negotiation and payment plans, introduction between the parties, among other rituals aimed at fortifying the imminent marriage.
The couple looked radiant in the company of their best man and woman.
Njiru shone in his brown Ankara outfit, as well as his soon-to-be wife in her gold sekuin dress.
The funfair included energetic dances to Swahili and traditional songs.
Njiru is a renowned legal counsel who has been featured in high-profile quasi-judicial litigations.
He came to the limelight in 2020 when he represented the Kirinyaga County Assembly in the Senate, where Governor Anne Waiguru's impeachment was prosecuted in plenary.
Njiru also acted as the lead counsel for former Embu governor Martin Wambora, who was also in the Senate fighting off his impeachment.
His latest assignment is being featured in deposed deputy president Rigathi Gachagua's legal team that strived to challenge the latter's impeachment.
