Lavish ceremonies oozing class and luxury have been the hallmarks of the events as lawmakers cement their unions.

Below are some lawmakers who have taken their relationship to the next level.

For the man who replaced Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua as the Mathira MP it has been a season of blessings after finding love in fellow lawmaker and Murang'a Woman Representative Betty Maina.
