Popular Kirinyaga governor Anne Waiguru will wed the love of her life city lawyer Kamotho Waiganjo in a Kikuyu traditional wedding aka (ngurario).
The deluxe wedding will take place on July 13, 2019 in Kirinyanga county at Kiamugumo primary school.
Nguracio is a Kikuyu traditional wedding, which is mandatory to even those who have already gone through church wedding.
Early in 2019, Waiguru and Kamotho had a private dowry payment session, moments after the valentine’s day in February.
They also used the opportunity to make their engagement public
Waiganjo and Waiguru
In February 2019, Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru got her engagement ring at a deluxe hotel in Nairobi, the Lord Eroll hotel.
The event happened on 16th February 2019, two days after Valentine’s Day, which saw former Devolution CS and City lawyer Kamotho Waiganjo get their engagement official.
Waiganjo stated that “It was a beautiful ceremony. The time was right for us to take our relationship to the next level”.
Waiguru also confirmed that the event took place.
I was completely surprised. We had not been talking about formalising our relationship so I did not expect it. We had just come from holidays and were celebrating his birthday as we do with close friends every year.”
The two first met in Likoni, Mombasa near the ferry before they shared a bread and a soda. That was however 10 years ago in 2009.
Waiganjo was convinced and right from that moment, started pursuing her with phone calls and sms.
“She was on phone the whole time. I had to ask her why she was not paying attention to our date,” says Kamotho.
This forced them to make relationship ‘laws’ when they are together.
“We agreed that when we are together and with family, phones are kept aside unless it is completely necessary. I am not doing badly nowadays,” Waiguru confirmed.
