A Kenyan groom, Dennis Karanja, was seen shedding tears of joy as his bride, Janet Kimuyu, walked down the aisle.
The touching video, which has since gone viral, has sparked discussions and admiration across social media platforms, showcasing the deep emotions that can accompany the union of two people in love.
Dennis and Janet’s love story is one for the books. The couple first met in 2009 while studying at a college in Mombasa, where they were both pursuing a course in civil and building engineering.
Their shared academic interests soon blossomed into a friendship that laid the foundation for their romantic relationship.
They officially started dating in 2010, and over the years, their relationship grew stronger, withstanding various challenges and milestones along the way.
In 2021, after more than a decade of being together, Dennis decided it was time to take their relationship to the next level. He proposed to Janet, marking a significant step in their journey.
However, life threw them an unexpected curveball when Janet lost her diamond engagement ring earlier this year.
The diamond fell off while she was at work, and despite searching everywhere in her office, it couldn’t be found. When she informed Dennis about the lost ring, his response was both surprising and decisive: “Instead of replacing it, let us get married.”
This practical and heartfelt solution led the couple to begin planning their wedding, which culminated in the emotional ceremony that has now touched the hearts of many.
The couple’s wedding took place on Saturday, August 17, 2024, in the serene Kenmosa village in Eldoret. The event was a culmination of their long journey together and a testament to their enduring love.
As Janet, dressed in a stylish white gown with a long veil, made her way down the aisle, Dennis stood at the altar, holding their son in his arms.
The sight of his bride approaching, combined with the realization of all they had been through to reach this moment, overwhelmed Dennis with emotion.
In the video that has since gone viral, Dennis is seen wiping away tears with a white handkerchief as he watches Janet walk towards him.
The tears were a mixture of joy, relief, and gratitude – emotions that many can relate to but few express so openly.
Janet later shared that the moment was particularly emotional because of the journey they had been through together.
“It happened because of the kind of journey we have been through. Ups and downs, so many things have happened.
That moment when nobody thinks you can, you can really get there, and here it is happening. We remember what God has done for us,” she explained.
Adding to the emotion of the moment was their son, who, standing by his father’s side, signaled to Dennis that “Mum is coming.”
This simple act from their child added an extra layer of sentiment to the day, reinforcing the bond and love that had brought them together as a family.
For Dennis and Janet, their wedding was not just a ceremony but a confirmation of their faith and love for one another.
Janet described the moment as a confirmation of what God can do, especially after all they had been through.
The couple’s journey had its share of challenges, but their wedding day was a celebration of overcoming those challenges and solidifying their commitment to each other.
In an interview with TUKO.co.ke, Janet shared some advice for those in relationships and considering marriage.
She emphasized the importance of being sure about one’s decision before taking the step to marry. “Be sure of what you want.
If he or she is the person you want to be with for the rest of your life. If you ever doubt, never do it because at the end of the day it is someone you will live with,” she advised.
The video of Dennis’s tears has not only warmed the hearts of those who have watched it but has also sparked conversations about the nature of love and marriage.
Many social media users have praised Dennis for showing his emotions so openly, with some ladies in the comment sections expressing that they would want their lovers to react similarly on their wedding day.
