Media personality Lola Hannigan and businessman Jomo Gecaga have officially tied the knot in a tastefully curated private wedding ceremony, bringing together close family, friends, and a select circle of high-profile guests from Kenya’s political and business elite.
The wedding, which was kept largely away from the public eye, came to light through verified social media posts shared by close friends, notably entrepreneur Anerlisa Muigai, who documented moments from the celebration on her Instagram Stories.
In the clips and photos, Anerlisa congratulated the bride and described Lola as a “beautiful bride,” tagging her official account and using hashtags associated with wedding celebrations.
From the visuals shared, the ceremony appeared to be held in an outdoor garden setting, adorned with white floral arrangements, draped canopies, and minimalist décor that reflected understated elegance.
The setup suggested a calm, intimate atmosphere rather than a lavish public affair, consistent with the couple’s generally private approach to their personal lives.
Lola Hannigan looked radiant in a white embellished wedding gown, featuring intricate detailing and a fitted bodice, paired with a tiara and a sleek up-do hairstyle.
Her bridal look was complemented by soft, glamorous makeup, drawing praise from guests and online followers alike.
Jomo Gecaga opted for a formal dark suit, accessorised with a ceremonial sash in Kenya’s national colours, a detail that stood out in several of the images and videos shared.
While the exact symbolism of the sash was not publicly explained, it added a distinctive and dignified touch to the groom’s attire.
One of the most notable aspects of the wedding was the presence of former President Uhuru Kenyatta and former First Lady Margaret Kenyatta, who were seen seated among the guests during the ceremony. Their attendance underscored the close personal and family connections surrounding the couple and immediately elevated public interest in the event.
The appearance of the former first couple, captured in videos circulating from the ceremony, confirmed that this was a significant private occasion, even though it was not accompanied by a formal media announcement or press release.
Other guests included close friends and family members, though the couple appeared keen to limit public exposure, with no official guest list released.
In addition to the wedding ceremony itself, Anerlisa Muigai also shared moments from pre-wedding celebrations, where Lola was seen wearing a white outfit accessorised with a sash reading “Bride.” The clips showed a relaxed, joyful atmosphere, with the bride smiling broadly as she posed with friends ahead of the big day.
Lola Hannigan and Jomo Gecaga have been in a long-term relationship and share 3 children together. While the couple has occasionally shared glimpses of their family life online, they have largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight.
