A young man aged 25 years has shocked many after disclosing his plans to tie knot with his 85-year-old girlfriend. In an interview, Muima revealed that they met when he was house hunting and developed a close friendship.
He says, Thereza would casually call him her husband which he took lightly until they started falling in love.
“This is my choice; this is my happiness as anyone else has theirs. Before pleasing others first please yourself and decide not based on anyone else’s opinions,” Muima said in the interview.
Thereza says that after introducing Muima to her family they expressed mixed reactions and only asked him to pay a dowry of 12 cows which he is willing to pay and hopefully do their white wedding.
Some of her children however feel it is quite unconventional and an embarrassment to their family but the 85-year-old woman says she is excited to get married to her lover and can’t wait to be her white gown.
“I have eight children and 20 grandchildren. According to my boyfriend’s age, he could be my fifth grandchild. He loves me and I love him. I am ready to put on the wedding dress and ring, ” she said.
However, Muima hopes Thereza will live long as he vows not to marry a younger woman saying they are demanding.
He recalled a day when the lady brought him food that she served with so much care before asking for a kiss which he willingly offered.
“The way she behaved and treated (me) pushed me to love her though she is an old woman, in reality she could be my grandmother but I love her and I’ll never choose any girl over this one. I pray she won’t die before me, “he added.
