DP Rigathi Gachagua rocked the dance floor at Betty Maina ruracio

It's not often that the mountain region gives us a social event worth writing about. But last weekend, the people of Murang'a and Nyeri did so as the Murang'a Woman Representative wedded Mathira MP in a star-studded event that easily qualifies as the wedding of the year.

The good book says that he who finds a wife finds a good thing. But generally, he who finds a wife from Murang'a gets a wife material. It's for this reason that when big shots of this Jamhuri want to settle down, they drive to the curvaceous hills of Murang'a, scout for a homely girl, take some goats and brew to his father's clan and live happily thereafter. Well, our girls may not be as curvaceous as our countryside but when it comes to wife material qualities, they take the mantle.
