A Ceremony to Remember: Francis & Janet’s 2020 Wedding

By Coach Davie

When the DaveCha Moments crew titled it “The Greatest Wedding of the Year,” they meant every word. On a vibrant day in Kisumu, Francis and Janet celebrated their union in a ceremony filled with tradition, joy, and unforgettable moments.

A Celebration Rooted in Community

From the moment guests arrived, the energy was infectious. The wedding fused rich Kenyan traditions with modern flair:

  • Festive Attire: Everyone—from the bridal party to family elders—wore vibrant African prints and elegant formalwear.

  • Uplifting Music & Dance: As Francis and Janet exchanged vows, song and dance filled the air. The couple and bridal entourages—especially the bridesmaids and groomsmen—joined in joyous displays. Look at that spontaneous dance-off in the courtyard! 

Moment of Vows & Blessings

Under a beautifully decorated canopy, Francis and Janet read their vows surrounded by loved ones. Their words blended deep emotion with lighthearted promises—like swearing to always dance through life together. It was sincere, genuine, and utterly enchanting.

Ritual, Culture & Unity

Traditional touches tied the ceremony together:

  • Blessings by Elders: Family members wrapped the couple in prayers and blessings, linking generations through spoken words.

  • Symbolic Acts: Part of the ceremony included pouring of water and sharing of kola nuts—classic tokens of unity and blessing in many Kenyan traditions.

Party Under the Sun

After ceremony came celebration. Laughter, cheers, and traditional music turned the scene into a party of epic proportions. The bridal party’s choreographed moves and the couple’s own freestyle spins—like that impromptu dance with the bridesmaid that had everyone cheering—were highlight moments. 

Why It Was the “Greatest”

Here’s what made this wedding truly stand out:

  1. Authentic Joy: The couple and their guests weren’t just celebrating—they were fully living the moment.

  2. Cultural Respect: Interweaving ceremony with meaningful tradition showed deep cultural pride and connection.

  3. Memorable Visuals: From stunning attire to outdoor décor and dance formations, the visuals were crisp, vibrant, and story-worthy.

  4. Community Spirit: This wasn’t just a wedding; it was a communal gathering turning two lives into one collective journey.

Moments You’ll Replay

  • Francis and Janet’s first dance: poised, tender, yet playful

  • Bridesmaids and groomsmen breaking into dance routines mid-ceremony

  • Elders offering blessings with heartfelt words, laughter, and joyful tears

Final Reflections

Francis and Janet’s wedding wasn’t flashy—it was real. Rooted in culture, steeped in emotion, and bursting with life, it showed what happens when you marry with open hearts, invite your community in, and don’t just follow tradition—you celebrate it.

For anyone planning a wedding:

  • Make it personal: weave in traditions that mean something to you

  • Celebrate boldly: don’t hold back on music, dance, or color

  • Invite your community in fully—it’s their story as much as yours

This wedding wasn’t just the greatest of 2020—it’s a blueprint for what a joyful, rooted celebration can look like.

  When the Lady is Older Than the Man Topic: Does Age Difference Matter in Relationships? Especially When the Lady is Older Than the Man (or the Man is Much Older) By: Coach Davie INTRODUCTION – LET'S TALK REAL: Hey family! So recently, I got hit with a question that honestly made me chuckle—but also had layers of wisdom hiding underneath. Someone asked: “😂😂… Coach Davie, should age difference be a factor to consider, especially when the lady is older than the gentleman? ” Now, I know that question is on a lot of people’s minds, especially in this generation where traditional relationship dynamics are shifting. So I thought—let’s unpack this properly. Tonight, I want us to look at both sides of the age gap coin : When the woman is older When the man is older   We’ll look at benefits , challenges , some biblical perspective , and even what research says about this. Because at the end of the day, age might be just a number—but maturity, purpose, and vision are what make a...

When She Finally Understood His Role...

  "When She Finally Understood His Role..." A story every couple needs to hear As a relationship coach and mentor, I’ve walked with many couples through seasons of frustration, misunderstanding, and silent tension. But one story still sticks with me—because it mirrors the unspoken struggles so many homes are facing today. Let me tell you about James and Lydia. The Marriage That Was "Fine"—But Fading When James and Lydia came to me, they weren’t on the verge of divorce. No drama, no scandal, just… distance. Lydia felt emotionally abandoned. James felt misunderstood and tired. They were doing life together—raising kids, managing bills, going to church—but the connection was thinning out. Lydia put it like this: “Coach, he’s a good man. But he’s not present. He doesn’t talk. He doesn’t help as much as I need. I feel like I’m carrying this marriage alone.” When I asked James how he saw things, he said something that stopped me: “I don’t know what else to do, Coach. I w...

The Quiet Exit of a Good Man

The Quiet Exit of a Good Man By Coach Davie Lisa didn’t think she was doing anything wrong. She loved Caleb. He was thoughtful, consistent, the kind of man who showed up—not with fancy words, but with steady actions. He wasn’t the loudest in the room, but his presence was calming. He made her feel safe. That should have been enough. But over time, things shifted. It started with the comparisons.      “Why can’t you be more like Tasha’s husband? He takes her on surprise dates.” “Look at how Alex plans ahead—why don’t you think like that?” Caleb never argued back. He just smiled softly. But something in him grew quieter with each word. Then came the moments when he just wanted to be alone. Lisa panicked every time.      “Are you avoiding me? What did I do wrong? Are you upset?” What she didn’t realize was that solitude wasn’t rejection—it was how Caleb recharged. His quiet time was his way of processing the weight of life. But instead of space, he felt press...
