Timeless Love: Kenyan Couple Weds In Church 60 Years After Falling In Love
In a heartwarming testament to enduring love, a 95-year-old Kenyan man and his 90-year-old long-time partner tied the knot this past weekend, six decades after their love story first began. The couple, Ibrahim Mbogo and Tabitha Wangui, exchanged vows in a memorable white wedding ceremony on Sunday, August 18, at a church in Mukurweini, a small town located about three hours northeast of Nairobi, Kenya’s bustling capital.
The pair’s love story dates back to 1960 when they first met and fell in love. Despite being married according to Kikuyu customs, which are recognized as legally binding in their culture, Mbogo and Wangui decided that after all these years, they wanted to solidify their union with a church wedding—a significant gesture reflecting their shared Christian faith.
“We met and fell in love in 1960, can you believe it?” Mbogo shared with a smile as he stood outside the church, surrounded by family and well-wishers. “We deliberated together and decided it would be wonderful to have a white wedding. While our Kikuyu customs consider us legally married, as Christians, we felt it was important to have a church wedding.”

The wedding ceremony was as elegant as it was sentimental. Mbogo looked dapper in a grey suit and silver tie, embodying the timelessness of their love. Wangui, equally radiant, wore a cream brocade jacket over a white dress, topped with a stylish white hat, embodying grace and dignity.
When asked about the secret to their long-lasting relationship, Wangui offered simple but profound advice: “Women, you must respect your husbands. If you do that, you can enjoy a long and fulfilling marriage like ours.”
Their story serves as a beautiful reminder that love knows no bounds and that it’s never too late to celebrate it in the grandest of ways.
In an extraordinary love story that defies convention, a Congolese man has captured global attention by marrying identical triplets in a lavish ceremony that has gone viral.
The three sisters—identical in appearance—met their husband-to-be independently, and each fell for his charm, only to later discover they shared the same love interest.
Instead of turning away, they embraced the bond and chose to embark on a life together, respecting each sister’s feelings and supporting one another. Their unique union has inspired a conversation about relationships, love, and cultural acceptance.
Celebrated with close friends and family, their wedding was a testament to love in its many forms and a reminder that family is at the heart of happiness.

Elon Musk’s $1 Million Giveaway Under DOJ Investigation for Potential Legal Violations
Elon Musk’s recent $1 million giveaway has drawn attention from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), which is reportedly scrutinizing the legality of the contest. This giveaway, widely promoted on social media, promised substantial cash prizes to select followers but has now raised concerns about compliance with federal sweepstakes laws. The DOJ’s focus is on whether the giveaway followed proper disclosures and legal requirements, including fair entry rules and transparency. This legal scrutiny adds a new layer of complexity to Musk’s ventures, as he continues to attract both media and regulatory attention with high-profile initiatives. The case underscores the importance of adhering to regulations, even in promotional activities led by influential public figures. The outcome could impact future online giveaways hosted by prominent personalities.
