I knew she would fall in love with me. These were the words of a 78-year-old widower who on Sunday married his 60-year-old heartthrob, who has never been married.
Ayub Mugo Waitara, a grandfather, while narrating how he met his wife, Teresiah Njoki, said he had been lonely for the past 10 years.
Waitara added that he knew from the moment he met her in 2017 that she would fall in love with him.

Narrating how he met his bride in a Daily Nation‘s report, Waitara said,
“In 2017 while on a private business in Thika town, I saw a woman who appeared very special to me, a strong feeling of love hit me and I decided to follow her. I stopped and asked her out for tea which she obliged. While at the restaurant, we exchanged phone numbers and an intimate conversation followed a few days later.”
“I knew she would fall in love with me because I kept on praying for her,” Mr Waitara said.
Mr Waitara said he called all his five children and informed them about his new love and they promised to support his pursuit of Njoki.
On her part, the bride Njoki said that at first, she resisted Mr Waitara’s marriage proposal, but she could hear her a voice compelling her to accept the proposal.
“I feel so happy; I had kept telling God to reveal to me the man he created for me. Despite old age, I have met him, I love him so much,” she said after exchanging marriage vows.
The couple, however, said they had no intentions of having any children.

“We are happy to have a mother and we shall live happily as one big family,” he said
The couple were wedded at St Marks ACK Church in Maragua, Muranga County in Kenya.
