IN THE BEGINNING

The two lovebirds met at one of the restaurants in Nairobi. “I was having lunch alone and so was Eric. He came and sat on my table and started talking to me. At first I was hesitant to give him “airtime”. However I liked his confidence and slowly started warming up to him. As we were winding up with the lunch, he asked for my number and that’s how we became friends.” Caroline recalls.

Eric chose one afternoon to propose to Caroline. He invited her to his house, cooked for her and asked her to go swimming with him. “As I got ready to plunge into the water, he knelt down, took out the ring and whispered the words. I was over the moon and said yes!” Caroline says.

FASHION

Caroline wore a tailor made gown, which was a gift form her parents. She got her shoes from Ragia Boutique in Hurlingham and the accessories were a gift from a close friend of hers. “My maid of honour Anne Abwao, who hap- pens to be my childhood friend, wore a brown dress with an orange band and animal print peep toe shoes. We had five maids, five groomsmen and three flower girls. The maids wore orange peplum dresses with a brown band, which were made by Enzie of Porter fashions, and animal print shoes. The grooms- men wore coffee brown slim fit suites from Italy with black shoes and orange slim ties. The flower girls wore white strapless dresses that had been imported from Bangkok,” The couple says. The couple’s parents were given the liberty to choose their fashion. The bride’s father wore a brown suite and her mother wore a cream dress. The Groom’s father wore a brownish suite and his mother wore an African green dress.
