Back in 2020,&#8221; he passionately explained to Jesse, who had asked whether Bien and Chiki were simply living together or officially married.<\/p>\n<p>The wedding was attended by only 50 guests, and Bien enforced a strict no-phone policy. He reminisced, saying, &#8220;In the morning, we went to the Attorney General and took care of everything, then had lunch with the guests, and it didn\u2019t cost me a lot of money. I think if I spent a whole lot on that wedding, it was probably around Sh. 300,000.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>MC Jesse, surprised by the low budget, inquired about Chiki&#8217;s reaction, considering that women often prefer lavish weddings. &#8220;And did she say she was okay with that?&#8221; Jesse asked curiously.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, she was. Everyone enjoyed a five-course meal, and all 50 guests had drinks on the house. It was an open bar, so no one paid for anything,&#8221; Bien candidly replied.<\/p>\n<p>He continued to share more details about his special day, explaining, &#8220;The wedding was on a Friday, and I sent the invitations on a Wednesday to prevent guests from bringing gifts. I just didn\u2019t want any of that\u2014spoons, plates, and all that. Nah, I wasn&#8217;t interested in dealing with it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>ALSO CHECK OUT:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"G21r139WNC\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/i-didnt-have-to-whine-my-waist-for-views-otile-takes-shots-at-bien\/\">&#8220;I didn&#8217;t have to whine my waist for views&#8221; &#8211; Otile takes shots at Bien<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;&#8220;I didn&#8217;t have to whine my waist for views&#8221; &#8211; Otile takes shots at Bien&#8221; &#8212; Ghafla!
