Kenyan celebrity couple DJ Mo and Size 8 recently tied the knot in a private wedding ceremony in Sigona, an event that captivated the hearts of many. In a candid interview following their February wedding, the couple shared the unique reason behind their choice of single friends as their best man and maid of honour.
The couple, known for their musical careers and Size 8’s transformation into a pastor, explained that their decision was deeply rooted in their personal journey. During a period of separation, they found that divorced and single friends often gave the best advice, offering clarity and understanding that married friends couldn’t always provide.
DJ Mo, reflecting on his separation from Size 8, revealed how it led him to a significant amount of self-reflection. “You must be able to categorize your friends because there are people who gain nothing by telling you the truth,” he shared. “Some friends might even fuel your emotions instead of helping you restore your marriage.”
He credited his best man, fellow musician Daddy Owen, for being a true friend during that challenging time. “Why Owen? He was there for me when things went left. He used to come pick me up, we’d go on road trips to Namanga, and he would remind me that this was not the end,” DJ Mo explained. “I thought many married men would offer this kind of support, but Owen truly stood out.”
On the other hand, Size 8 shared her own story about choosing her best maid, Lady B. The two women have shared a long friendship, with Lady B providing unwavering support during Size 8’s darkest times. “Lady B was there for me when I didn’t even have the strength to go to the studio. She was there to cry with me, never judging me,” said Size 8. “Our friendship has always been real, and now that God has done a beautiful thing in my life, I wanted her to stand by me.”
Size 8 also emphasized the importance of discerning true friends from those who take advantage of situations. “I call them lizards,” she said. “Be cautious of people who only come around when things are good for you. Pray that God opens your eyes to see these ‘lizards’ and protect your life from them.”
Their decision to select single friends for such significant roles in their wedding has resonated with many fans, who have praised the couple for their honesty and openness. It’s a reminder that the value of true friendship transcends marital status, and sometimes, the most genuine advice comes from those who have not experienced the same circumstances.
In other news, DJ Mo proposed to Size 8 on Valentine’s Day in February, and the couple officially tied the knot later that month in Sigona. Their journey of reconciliation and renewal of vows serves as a testament to the power of self-reflection, friendship, and faith.
