A colourful wedding took place in London on Saturday 20th April 2002 between Gichini Njehu and former Miss Jane Wanjiku King'ang'i. The wedding ceremony took place at Calvary Charismatic Baptist Church, London and it was followed a well arranged reception at Dulwich College, South East London. At the church the ceremony was conducted by Rev. Joseph Karanja assisted by Pastor Phyllis Wagura and Catherine Mwangi. The  vows at this well attended church function was conducted in vernacular language which made the occasion to have a takes of its own. It was a version borrowed from the Land of Hakuna Matata.

A day to remember

Pole pole ndiyo mwendo

The bride's father Mr. King'ang'i escorting her daughter Jane Wanjiku into the church

The bride's father holding her daughter's hand to the alter

Dressing for the occasion.... Bridal party checking and exchanging notes to see all in line

"Who is going to give this lady to this man?"

The bridegroom Mr. Gichini Njehu thanking the father after handing over the bride

"I Gichini Njehu declare that ............"

"I Jane Wanjiku ......- for rich for poor till death....."   "I DO"

Prayer for the newly married couple

Before the vows the two mothers had to light the candles to give the green light for the occasion

With two separate candles the couple had to right the big candle - that means they had been living two separate  lives but now they will be one.

"And now my fellow brethren I declare Mr. Gichini Njehu and Jane Wanjiku as man and wife"

Time for a kiss

Signing the marriage certificate

"Time for Holy Communion"

"Believe me or not all is done..... time to go out of church"
