Groom’s family has refused to pick calls from the Bride’s family after a ruracio in Gatanga, Murang’a ended in unexpected drama two weeks ago. The man and the woman are traditionally from two different tribes. The groom’s family had gone to pay dowry, carrying expensive gifts alongside cattle but were turned away for arriving minutes late.

The guests who had arrived with the dowry were already settled down when the bride’s family told them to go back home after they arrived three minutes late, leaving them confused. The bride’s family refused to continue with the ceremony, insisting on strict timekeeping as per their traditions.

The Groom’s family told them to fine them instead of cancelling the entire event which had been planned for months and the long distance they had traveled but the Bride’s family stood their ground on strictness. The guests left the venue after attempts to reason with the Bride’s family failed.

No new date had been announced, and both families remained silent for days until the Bride’s family began calling the man’s family but they are not picking their calls. Attempts to reach them have failed. The silence continues with no further communication.
