Nakuru couple says 'I do' after living together for 60 years

They say age is just but a number, a saying that was proved by Willy Kinyua, 98, and Joyce Nyambura 88, who tied a knot at Solai Baptism Church, in Nakuru County. The couple said they decided to tie a knot at an old age to show their children and entire world the love they uphold for each other that has seen them live together for more than 60 years. Despite Mau Mau war having separated the two, they united nine years later and have been living together at peace. Nyambura was happy to walk down the aisle like any woman would wish. She had a tiara fixed on her head and wore make ups for example she applied a purple lipstick, eye pencil, and applied manicure on her nails during the ceremony. Both the bride and bridegroom use walking sticks. FEBRUARY 19, 207. PHOTO: MERCY KAHENDA/STANDARD
