Former president Uhuru Kenyatta was among the luminaries attending the wedding of Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka's daughter on Saturday, December 6.
Damarie Saada Kalonzo and Martin Nyaga solemnised their union in holy matrimony in an invite-only ceremony at Naivasha's Enashipai Resort.
Besides Uhuru, the event was graced by ranking politicians and leaders.

Machakos governor Wavinya Ndeti was among them.
Others included DAP-K leader Eugene Wamalwa, Jubilee Party's Jeremiah Kioni, former Kiambu governor Ferdinand Waititu, and Makueni senator Dan Maanzo.
Until her big day, little was known about Damarie, as Kalonzo's children's profile have been away from the public eye, save for Kennedy Kalonzo, who partakes in politics as his father.
Currently, Kennedy is among the representatives of Kenya in the Arusha-based East African Legislative Assembly (EALA).
In his goodwill message, Kalonzo said he had blessed his daughter as she walked into the new phase of her life.
"On behalf of my family, I give my full blessings to this wonderful couple, Damarie Saada and Martin Nyaga," he said.
The one-time vice president also referenced the Bible in encouraging his kin to strongly hold onto her union.
"Remember God and let him be in the centre of your marriage. Keep close to the words of Proverbs 24:3-4, "By wisdom, a house is built, and through understanding, it is established; through knowledge, its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures," said Kalonzo.
The Wiper leader further expressed gratitude to Uhuru for creating time to attend the ceremony.
"I thank (former) President Uhuru Kenyatta for his friendship and solidarity with my family, which resulted from his attending the wedding ceremony of our daughter Damarie Saada and Martin Nyaga this afternoon in Naivasha," he said.
Kalonzo's wife, Pauline, was missing from the event.
Nairobi Leo understands that Pauline has been domiciled in Europe for years for medical reasons.
