Two people who feel like they can put up with each other for a long time decide to get married. They spend days making numerous calculations from every angle and conclude their wedding budget is, say, not more than Sh1 million. They look at their pockets, go over their salaries, ponder their savings accounts, and do the mathematics again.
They can only afford a wedding that costs way below. Over chilled wine, the worried couple has a heart-to-heart discussion and each decides to compromise and agree to do what is comfortable for both of them. They reason that since they have insufficient funds, other people would, of course, be overjoyed to be of assistance. They nod, agreeing that it’s a fantastic idea, and they clink glasses and kiss and make tender love. Two afternoons later, a wedding committee and a new WhatsApp group is formed.
