When In the City’s Whitney Fransway posted“might have accidentally gotten married in Peru”back in April, the internet lost it. Turns out, the Bravo stars were more intentional than the caption suggested, but here’s the part that makes it even more romantic: it was a spiritual ceremony, not a legal one. Kenny Martin and Whitney had a spiritual leader ask if they wanted to get married, they exchanged vows, and got blessed by Mother Earth’s energy. Kenny even said it felt like they were“legally within the spiritual Mother of Peru.”No courthouse, no legal paperwork, but plenty of meaning.
The couple’s journey is pretty cool when you look at the full picture. They connected on the dating app Raya and spent six months messaging before ever meeting in person. That’s not rushing things. Once they decided to make it official beyond the app, Whitney relocated from wherever she was to New York City in October 2025 to be with Kenny. They’ve been intentional about moving at their own pace, which is kind of refreshing in a world where reality TV constantly pushes people toward the next big milestone. Both have expressed that they want the show to focus on more fun, lighter moments if it gets renewed for season two, which makes sense after showing the emotional, heavy stuff they’ve been processing.
The spiritual ceremony angle is interesting because it raises a question a lot of people are thinking about: does love need to be legal to be real? For Whitney and Kenny, the answer seems to be no. What matters to them is that Mother Earth blessed it, they said their vows, and they’re building something together on their own terms. So what kind of ceremony or commitment milestone would feel right to you?
