Remember the viral photos of Kenyan couple who got married wearing only tshirts and jeans? Things just made ‘madt’ sense.
After their wedding photos went viral, several companies and individuals who were touched by their humble wedding has reached out to make the season a memorable one for the couple with mind blowing offers.
Anne and Wilson Mutura who had spent only KSH 100 only for the wedding rings now have been offered an all expenses paid honeymoon by an organization, a fully sponsored wedding to give the couple an opportunity to celebrate with friends and family, a free make up artist and photoshoot on valentine’s day, another person gave them goat as a wedding gift, another pledged to give wedding cake a US volunteer has pledged to start-up capital for a small business whichever Anne will find appealing.
According to Facebook user, Ndungu Nyoro who shared the husband’s story, read the story below:
“In 2016, we started planning for our wedding, Pastor Jasper even started announcing in Church. We had planned for the wedding to be in December 2016 and every church member was looking forward to it.
Unfortunately we could not raise money for the wedding. I am employed to sell apples in a mkokoteni where I’m paid on commission. If I sell apples worth kshs 1000, I am paid kshs 100.
Having not raised the cash, we cancelled the wedding.
In as much as we couldn’t raise money, we still wanted to do it in a Godly way. We talked to our pastor about it and later visited our parents from both sides who okayed our move. They had no problem with us not paying dowry now, in fact they wanted it done later, something that made us happy.
On the material day, I had 200 shillings in my pocket. I went to church as usual but waited after praise and worship session when I dashed to a malimali shop where I bought my rings at KSh 100. The remainder is what we took for our first supper as a married couple.”
