Kenyan singer Akothee has joined family members, friends and other well-wishers in celebrating the marriage of Olivia Ochilo and Lennox Oriema, sharing a heartfelt congratulatory message as the couple began their new journey together.
The wedding took place on Friday, November 13, at Fuchsia Gardens in Riara, Kiambu County. Olivia, the daughter of Migori Governor Ochilo Ayacko, was escorted down the aisle by her father during the ceremony, which brought together relatives and invited guests to witness the important family occasion.
Among those celebrating the newlyweds was Akothee, whose real name is Esther Akoth Kokeyo. The entertainer took to social media to express her happiness for the couple, offering prayers and encouraging words as they embarked on married life.
In her message, she wrote: “Congratulations to this amazing couple! May your marriage be full of love, joy and God’s blessings! I hope you have a journey full of laughter, friendship, patience and understanding. May you create many beautiful memories,”
The singer signed the message using her full name, Amb. Esther Akoth Kokeyo, reinforcing her personal wishes to Olivia and Lennox.
However, subsequent reports published by Kenyan media identify the groom as Lerroy Jakarungu, rather than Lennox Oriema. They also give the bride’s full name as Olivia Awuor Ochillo. This differs from the names circulated in the supplied account, making the correction important for readers. TUKO and K24 Digital both reported that the wedding was officiated by Nairobi Central Seventh-day Adventist Church. Their coverage also confirmed the venue and the governor’s presence, although it did not independently mention Akothee’s attendance or the matching purple outfits with Rue Baby.
The congratulatory message attributed to Akothee focuses on the qualities that can help sustain a marriage, including friendship, patience, understanding and shared happiness. Rather than making the occasion about celebrity attention, her words placed emphasis on the couple’s future.
The wedding marked a significant family occasion for Governor Ayacko and his wife, Agnes, as Olivia began married life. Messages of goodwill from relatives, friends and public figures added to the celebrations, while the couple received prayers for a peaceful and lasting union.
