The Luo, Kenya's fourth largest ethnic group, are known for their love of luxury and grand entrances at events.
Traditional Luo marriage connects families and communities, with customs that have evolved yet retain key traditions.
Modern Luo marriage involves stages: dating, family introduction (Ng'eyo Dala), bride price ceremony (Nyombo), and a grand wedding.
Nyombo is significant for finalizing unions and determining burial rights, involving negotiations, symbolic gifts, and family blessings.
Luo weddings are lavish, showcasing wealth with helicopters, motorcades, and high-end venues, reflecting the cultural value of pesa (money).
