The sponsored wedding will be the icing of the cake as they will get to do it all over again in the dream wedding they were unable to afford in December 2016.

Mr Wanjohi had planned to wed his girlfriend in a church wedding in December but was unable to raise money leading to the eventual ring exchange during a January Sunday service.
