Dirk Nowitzki Ties The Knot In Kenyan Style Wedding [PHOTOS]

Dallas Mavericks baller Dirk Nowitzki wed his long-term girlfriend Jessica Olssen in a traditional Kenyan style ceremony over the July 15th weekend...

It was a traditional kikuyu wedding ceremony commonly referred to as Ngurario. The short version of the Kikuyu wedding, that is meant to announce to the community that the daughter is engaged, provided relatives from both sides with an opportunity to get to know each other and conclude ruracio (dowry payments) discussions which officiate their wedding, and is recognized by customary laws.

There was plenty of fun and and plenty to eat and drink. The bride, Jessica was wearing a traditional Kikuyu garment and Dirk was in a dark brown traditional outfit with orange hues. Jessica was also presented with a kiondo by elederly kikuyu women. She had to demonstrate how she would go to the market and shop for her husband.

Later the couple together with the guests danced to mugithi tunes. Jessica is born of a Kenyan mother and a Swedish father who both live in Sweden. Her two brothers, Martin and Marcus Olsson play professional football in the English Premier League. She is the associate director of the Goss-Michael Foundation art gallery based in Dallas, Texas.

Aww they are the cutest oddball couple EVER!
