Digital content creator Marya Okoth marked her birthday in grand style with a glamorous celebration in Nairobi, surrounded by her close friends and inner circle. The event, held at an upscale restaurant in Kitusuru, was a moment of joy and excitement for Marya, who had planned the evening meticulously, despite the hectic lead-up.
“I’m so so excited. It has been hectic, my previous plan was that I start my makeup and my shot at around 12, but so many things were happening in planning,” Marya shared as she prepared for the evening. The excitement was palpable as she quickly glammed up for her 6 pm dinner reservation. Before heading to the venue, she took a moment to reflect on her emotions: “Before I go for my dinner, I have a nice and lovely shot. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I’m so excited, I’m so nervous, I’m so late, I don’t know, just a mix of emotions.”
Marya’s journey to the celebration was just as extraordinary. She had hired a Jeep Limousine, making a grand entrance with her friends cheering and shouting, “Go big or go home.” However, as the limo pulled up, she found herself momentarily stunned by the spectacle. “I was aware the limo was coming but for some reason when I saw it, I couldn’t process it,” she confessed. It was a ride filled with laughter, excitement, and the energy of friends ready to celebrate.
The dinner venue itself was nothing short of spectacular. The menu, titled “International Marya’s Day,” featured a selection of sumptuous dishes that left everyone satisfied and delighted. Guests enjoyed a range of delectable offerings, including peri-peri Portuguese grilled chicken breast, the Pergola carnivore platter, and a mix of pork and lamb chops each dish carefully chosen to reflect the celebration’s vibrant atmosphere.
Gratitude filled the air as Marya expressed her appreciation for her friends: “Thank you so much for coming. I hope you enjoyed the ride. Guys, I wish you the best in your endeavors, even me. I pray that this goes beyond just birthdays we travel, get to do things together. Alafu nyinyi ni warembo, mmeiva.” Her heartfelt message was met with even more love and admiration from her friends.
As the night unfolded, Marya was showered with emotional compliments. “Happy 25th, Marya. We love you. Great things are going to happen for you in your new year. Count on us,” one friend said. Another added, “Thank you so much for accommodating everyone and just being a good friend. You are a good person, and even on days that you doubt yourself, just know you are that girl.”
The heartfelt words brought Marya to tears, making the evening all the more memorable. It was a celebration of not just a birthday but of friendship, love, and shared experiences one that will surely be remembered for years to come.
