August 20, 2024 - In a heartwarming story, a 95-year-old Kenyan man married his 90-year-old long-time love on Sunday, August 18th.

The couple first met and fell in love in 1960, over six decades ago. "We deliberated together and decided it would be great if we did a white wedding, we know in our Kikuyu custom that we are legally married, but since we are also Christians, we decided to do a church wedding," said Ibrahim Mbogo.
For their special day, the groom wore a smart grey suit and silver tie, while the bride was dressed in a white hat with a cream brocade jacket over a white outfit. Speaking about the secret to their long-lasting relationship, Tabitha Wangui Mbogo advised, "Women, you must respect your husbands, if you do that, then you will live as we have. Don't do any wrong, and when you do, just apologize and seek forgiveness."
This heartwarming story of love and commitment is an inspiration to all. After over six decades together, Ibrahim and Tabitha have finally made their union official with a beautiful church wedding celebration.
