On why he had taken more than half a century to walk down the aisle, Mr Muriuki said he wanted first to ensure all his children are educated and achieve their aspirations.
“I was of the opinion that my children first school to the highest levels before we conduct a formal wedding,” said Mr Muriuki.
And they did… All of them have degrees in various fields from medicine to business to agriculture.
Mr Muriuki advised young men to protect and respect their marriages as he called on those who have not formalised theirs to do so.
Their daughter, Dr. Jennifer Muriuki ensured the event went down in style. Dr Muriuki said the couple first got married in 1954 in a customary union and were blessed with ten children.
“They have been aspiring to have a church wedding and as their children we could only make their wishes come true. We facilitated everything so that they could realise their dreams,” said Dr Muriuki.
