There's something so captivating about a celebrity wedding more so when the setting is in an exclusive beach resort with perfect scenery – a recipe for a dream wedding.
Friday evening was the d-day for love birds Carol Radull and Mike Njiru to say “I do” surrounded by family, friends and special guests at the Indian Ocean Beach Resort in Diani, Mombasa.
The bride’s father, Alex Radull, gave her away after walking her down the aisle that was decorated with yellow roses.
Carol who is the Programmes controller for Radio Jambo looked stunning in a strapless white gown, while Njiru was dashing in a white suit with lime green shirt.
The pair recited their vows before Reverend Fr Pascal Libana, with the wide blue ocean as their backdrop and exchanged rings. After they were pronounced husband and wife, Mr and Mrs Njiru shared a romantic kiss.
Speaking shortly after the ceremony Ida Odinga gave short anecdotes about the bride at the dinner party hosted at the resort’s outdoor Baobab Restaurant . The prime minister’s wife retold a story about how Carol did not know any Swahili after coming back from Botswana where whe was studying and how she learnt it fast. Adding that Carol will also learn Embu equally fast. For the groom, Odinga welcomed him to Bondo as a new son. Telling him it is easy to blend in with the system since “it is a lifestyle”.
Mr Radull, the brides dad, fondly referred to Njiru, as his “new son”. He then gifted the couple with a title deed and a rope to signify the cow that is waiting for the couple to collect from his home in Bondo.
Some of the guests present at the wedding include Radio Africa CEO Patrick Quarcoo, Kiss 100’s Caroline Mutoko, Ghost Mulee, filmmaker Willis Owusu among others. Maina Kageni was the MC at the wedding ceremony.

CAROL RADULL TAKES UP NEW TV ROLE

Radio Jambo’s Programmes Controller Carol Radul took up a new role as the host of a weekly show on Supersport Select called Simba Super Soccer.
“My role entails hosting the weekly show that focuses on what is happening in local football, and in particular the Kenyan Premier League. I have a permanent co-host - football analyst James Wokabi - who has been doing the show with Bernard Otieno for over a year. Each week we have a guest or two to discuss the games of the past weekend and look forward to what’s coming the next weekend,” Carol said.
The football enthusiast got the hook up when she was approached by the show’s producer Mark Moss and asked if she was interested in the position after the former presenter Bernard Otieno moved on. “Mark, his business partner Fareed Khimani and the shows executive producer, also Supersport Head of Africa, Gary Rathborne, asked me to give it a try. If I do a good job in the preliminary shows, then we take it from there.”
If you liked her on the show last night, you will be seeing more of her every Wednesday night at 9pm, with a repeat at 11am.
Carol, who has been fighting for the recognition and fan interest in the Kenya Premier League (KPL), said that the support is still dismal. “But with investors like Supersport, there is hope. Supersport beams the KPL to Africa and that in itself is growing interest in the league. They also pay the league for television rights and that means clubs have some money to use to keep afloat. Most of the issues that affect Kenyan football, don’t directly affect the KPL, but the national team and youth development more.”
