Most love stories start when boy meets girl, they fall madly in love and they live happily ever after. For 26-year-old Millicent Wambui Nga’nga, and 29-yearold Peter Kabi, their love story wasn't that clean-cut. Yes, boy met girl but it wasn't love at first sight. To start with, she was dating his friend. Second, she was in form two.
‘It’s funny, because even back then I had an image of how my wife should look like. When I saw Milly, I thought she looked like my wife. Plus she was very nice. But at that time I had a girlfriend, and this guy pia alikuwa anamkatia (was dating her). So I never thought of dating her.
As for Milly, who is the firstborn in a family of 4, he was just her big bro.
‘I never thought about how my husband should look like. I met Kabi when I was in form 2 in high school. My then-boyfriend introduced us and we ended up going for two double dates with him and his then-girlfriend.'
‘I had a pic of the four of us that I took to school just to show offmy ‘gang.’ The people I hang out with. He was like my brother but if you ask him he says I kept his photo because I was in love with him.
‘Your sister said that you liked me.’ Kabi interjects directing the statement to his wife.
‘She had her plans, and I think that's why we are here.’ Kabi adds laughing.
They are taking turns cradling their 3-month-old son Taji as they regal me with stories of how they met and started on this journey. Milly and Kabi known as the WaJesus family on their Youtube channel have one message and one message only, Marriage works! Especially if Jesus is at the centre. And judging from the scores of fans who throng their comment section asking for more; more videos, more photos, more stories, it is safe to say that this message is crucial in a world filled with negatives.
