Itakuwa sherehe kubwa! Akothee acquires new 700k wedding gown, ahead of her April wedding

Singer Esther Akoth, better known by her stage as Akothee, has disclosed the outrageous sum of money her husband spent on her wedding dress.

The singer has already made a 4,800 CFH gown purchase while visiting Bern, Switzerland’s opulent capital city (approximately Ksh. 690k).

The same goes for her wedding shoes, which she purchased for a pricey 1,200 CFH (approximately Ksh. 172k).

The extravagantly sarcastic diva claims that she intended to go shopping in Paris but that it was difficult because of the widespread demonstrations, which have been the focus of the headlines for the last few months due to her whirlwind relationship with her Swiss fiancé Mr. Schweizer.

“I had planned to shop in Paris, so I could see both my husband, my boys, and my daughter within 5 days, but due to strikes and demonstrations, I couldn’t make it to France or even to put an eye on my boys. I also wanted to shop in Paris because I didn’t want Mr. Omondi to see my shopping especially the dress, “she said.

The 2023 gown, purchased from the upmarket Switzerland-based Mery’s Couture, is an Autumn white lace fishtail marvel garlanded with sparkly Swarovski stones.

Speaking about the gown, Akothee says that it is the perfect birthday gift for her and added that she had to do at least three fittings to find the perfect gown.

“I rarely receive gifts in my entire life – people believe I have more than enough, therefore, finding love has taught me how being loved looks like… I’m also glad I traveled; I had to do three fittings to find the perfect dress,” she divulged.

In typical Akothee fashion, the singer didn’t let a chance to swagger about the purchase and subsequent transportation of the dress – it flew first class.

“I’m really the luckiest girl in the world.” Omosh has spoiled me completely. My beautiful gown flew first class. And so did I,” she said as she proudly shared a video of the regal moment.

Akothee’s fairytale wedding is slated to go down on the 10th of April (Easter Monday) at the sprawling Windsor Gardens.
