Nairobi Pastor Celebrates 20 Years Of Marriage, Says He Had Wedding While Broke

• When Pastor Maurice Oloo and his wife Pam had a wedding 20 years ago, they struggled financially and had to borrow everything
• They couldn't even afford a honeymoon, so they spent their first days as a married couple in their modest single-room
• Two decades later, the couple can afford a lavish holiday while basking in their inspiring story of love and endurance

It is 20 years since Maurice Oloo and Pam walked down the aisle in a wedding that was nothing near glamorous.

As the couple celebrates their anniversary, the family man reflected on the two decades of love, faith, and shared blessings.

Left with KSh 3k on wedding day

In a post on Facebook, Maurice disclosed that they embarked on their marital journey from humble beginnings.

The philanthropist says he wore a borrowed suit while his bride donned a gown that was to be returned after the event

"No hired car, no hired venue, no hired pastor, and no hired caterers," he wrote, adding that the good thing was that they owed nobody at the end of the day.

Remarkably, the couple successfully managed their budget, and by the end of the day, they owed nobody and were left with only KSh 3,700 to start life with.

No honeymoon

Instead of opting for an extravagant honeymoon, Maurice and Pam decided to spend their first days as a married couple in a modest single room.

"Holiday destinations were a luxury beyond our reach during the first 10 years of our marriage," he continued.

However, the lovebirds braved the challenges with resilience and a united spirit, turning what might have been seen as limitations into opportunities for growth and shared experiences.

Two decades later, the couple is now financially stable and can look back at the past with glee while sharing their inspiring story of endurance.

"It’s 20 years since we accepted to trust God together," he concluded.

Sammy Ondimu's love story

Eighteen years later, they have turned their struggles and challenges into triumphs through love and perseverance.
