      Lydia Dinga aka Mrs O, just when I think I've seen the best from you, you come with another one. No words to describe this, pure perfection. Damini is a gem, intelligent, his genuine heart and love for you is palpable. Your Dinga's compound is absolutely stunning, the thatched houses are so beautiful. I can't wait to visit Kenya, one of the few African countries that I haven't visited. Africa doesn't need skyscrappers, nature at its best.

      I was born in Kisumu too but grew up in the UK- this makes me miss dala 🫰🏾🫰🏾 Lovely seeing the Luo homestead (Simba- the first son’s house)👏 - really well done Lydia- content is real and super quality. Editing didn’t miss at all 👏👏 - I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Beautiful throughout 👏🫰🏾👏

    I really love how Mr. O phrased what dowry is about. "It's not buying your wife but it's investing and continuing to invest into where your wife comes from." Well done Mr. O

    This is so so similar to South African Zulu weddings. We call it Umabo and the dowry is called Lobola. But exactly the same. Your parents are amazing and put so much work into this, what a blessing

    I am a silent subscriber, but had to drop a comment on this one . Loved how you displayed your culture whilst educating . As a jamaican so many inages of Kenya reminded me of Jamaica. Big up to Mr Dinga the compound is amazing love seeing people building up where they originate from. Can not wait for the next upload.

    Lydia, thank you for sharing your traditions with us, particularly around marriage while balancing modernity. While I certainly speak for myself, I am sure others feel equally the same way. As descendants of slaves within the diaspora (Trinidad and Tobago/USA), it's very comforting to know how enriching our history is, and that all has not been lost colonization and time. I commend you and your husband for embracing your respective heritage and preserving those traditions.
    You did an amazing job with the editing.

    What I like about Lydia 's family is that they have their own, so to speak, so no one is going to think that dowry is going to make this family rich...cos that's kind of stupidity people normal spew about African culture and traditions.
