The singer, Vestine, officially signed a legal marriage agreement on January 15, 2025, during a ceremony held at Kinyinya Sector, Gasabo District, in Kigali. While keeping her wedding plans under wraps at the time, she later revealed via social media on May 4, 2025, that her big day is set for July 5, 2025.
Reliable sources from InyaRwanda confirmed that although Vestine has not publicly disclosed the venue, the wedding will be held at the prestigious Intare Conference Arena in Rusororo. This iconic location has begun sending out personalized invitations to lucky guests, complete with their names for entry verification.
Intare Conference Arena is famed for hosting luxurious events and high-profile weddings. Notably, it was the venue for Miss Rwanda 2020 winner Nishimwe Naomie and Michael Tesfay’s wedding on December 29, 2024. It also hosted the engagement and dowry event of Akaliza Amanda, a former Miss Rwanda 2021 contestant, and her husband Jonas on May 17, 2025.
Vestine has made the bold decision to get married shortly after completing her high school studies, which has drawn mixed reactions from the public. In a recent interview with MIE, she addressed the criticism, firmly stating, “No one was assigned to decide the perfect time for me to get married.”
Her younger sister and musical partner, Dorcas, has also voiced her unwavering support. Dorcas highlighted that it’s impossible to satisfy everyone and encouraged prioritizing personal happiness.
Vestine shared her joy in receiving a promise ring from her fiancé, Idrissa Ouédraogo, and expressed optimism about their future, saying, “This is just the beginning, my fellow Rwandans. Please keep us in your prayers.”
She reassured her fans that her marriage would not affect her music career, stating, “Getting married doesn’t mean I am leaving Dorcas or our music. We will keep going.”
On May 4, 2025, Vestine surprised fans by announcing her engagement to Idrissa Ouédraogo, a national from Burkina Faso, with their wedding scheduled for July 2025.
The couple, Vestine and Idrissa Ouédraogo, formalized their union by signing a marriage agreement on January 15, 2025.
The much-anticipated wedding of Ishimwe Vestine and Idrissa Ouédraogo will officially take place at the prestigious Intare Conference Arena.
