Celebrating James & Grace Mwangi

James met Grace at a church choir practice in 1986 — he joined the tenors purely because she sang alto, a fact he denied for twenty years and now tells at every family gathering. They married at ACK St. Peter's, Nyeri, in October that year, with a reception whose budget was, in Grace's words, 'faith and borrowed chairs.'

Forty years later: three children, seven grandchildren, one small farm in Kiambu that James swears he will retire to properly any year now, and a marriage that half the neighbourhood turns to for advice they pretend they weren't asking for.

Join us as we celebrate them — forty years of an ordinary, extraordinary love.
