This family served Ruracio fashion with their cute outfits (Photos)

Gikuyu and Mumbi would be proud

According to Kikuyu customs, a Ruracio is a must.

Ruracio is the formal dowry payment. The groom comes to the bride’s home with gifts and partakes in different activities and once they reach a final agreement, then the next step is Ngurario, which is the traditional wedding ceremony. Nowadays, most couples prefer to merge the ceremonies so as to save time. During the traditional wedding ceremony, even though it's not a must, most couples wear the Kikuyu traditional outfits - brown outfits bejeweled with cowrie shells.
