John-Allan Namu, the well-known investigative journalist, expressed regret over the amount of money he spent on his wedding in 2010.

He made the revelation during an appearance on the Financially Incorrect show, with the father of four divulging that he had spent Ksh1.5 million on the event.

He added that although he had initially planned for 200 people to attend, the actual number ballooned to 600.

"Our (with his wife) cap was 250 people, and the list just kept growing and growing. We were told to sit in a corner and wait for the budget. If there is one big regret I have, it is caving into that pressure. That money would have done so much.

I took a loan to pay for part of the budget. My wife had to sell her car, and we used our savings," the award-winning journalist divulged.

His wife Sheena Makena has previously revealed that her husband was forced to make two marriage proposals, the second of which was made after they finally had some alone time and their baby had gone asleep.

They refer to their firstborn as "their love child," and Sheena has previously stated that they call their firstborn "their love child."

"He proposed twice and I remember the first thing I asked him was ‘Are you serious?’ Because at even that point I wasn’t absolutely sure that this is what we should be doing and I had a lot of uncertainty whether we were doing for the right reason.

Is he doing it because he feels that he needs to as he doesn’t want to shirk responsibility or is he doing it because he does truly care about me and about our baby?” Sheena disclosed.

Namu and his wife don't post their kids on social media and keep their family private.
