Kenyan gospel artist Daddy Owen claims that he prefers a come-we-stay union over a traditional white wedding.
He said that if he ever gets married again, he would choose a low-key celebration over an expensive wedding in an interview with a local media outlet on Thursday.
Daddy Owen continued by saying that he had learned from his previous errors and was not interested in subjecting himself to undue stress.

He continued by saying that, as a male, he does not enjoy weddings and, given the opportunity, would prefer to come and stay.
“I have learned my lessons,” he said. “If I ever do a wedding again, it will be a low key affair. Given a chance, I would choose to come-we-stay. We don’t look forward to weddings as men,” Daddy Owen said.
The gospel musician has been urged to remarry by his mother and friends, despite the fact that he is now single.
He admits that he is still concerned that he might not make the greatest choices, therefore he is cautious to enter into another marriage too quickly.
“She (my mother) tells me to hire someone just to stop walking alone at home. She is worried that I live alone, I walk alone,” he said.

Additionally, Daddy Owen revealed that he is still coping with the fallout from his failed marriage and worries that he will make poor choices in subsequent relationships.
He has also admitted that his first marriage left him feeling unhappy and having mental health issues.
Although his first marriage ended badly, Daddy Owen has remained dedicated to helping others.
He spoke passionately about his role in using funds granted by the Safaricom foundation to build the Kijabe Hospital facility.
He disclosed that he used the Sh25 million raised during his birthday to pay for the construction of the wards.
“I helped the facility. It was during my birthday, and I looked for funding and built the wards. It was Sh25 million and Sylvia Mulinge gave us money from the Safaricom foundation,” he said.
