Not Even an Accident Could Do Them Part: Beautiful Couple Weds From Hospital Bed

Nyeri town is not usually the place glorious love stories come from, women there are known more for chopping up transformers like onions rather than fairy-tale like love stories.

But this beautiful couple from Nyeri has changed the narrative with their unusual love story.

31 year old Miriam Gakenia and her 2 year old bridegroom James Mwangi were involved in the accident last Tuesday, which left the bride bedridden and the groom with a cast on his broken hand. The two got involved in the accident at Kiangwachi along the Nyeri-Nairobi highway as they were travelling back from Nairobi where they had gone wedding shopping.

“The wedding had to go on. We have prepared for this for the last six months. No devil’s temptations will stop us. Even if she lost her legs, she is still my wife” Mwangi said as he prepared to wed Gakenia.
