It's been three years since KBC Kiswahili news anchor Nancy Onyancha tied the knot with her colleague, special features editor Joab Mwaura, in 2018.
As they celebrate their third wedding anniversary, Mwaura has shared the sweet reason behind his affectionate yet quirky nickname for his wife, 'Thing', which he has saved in his phonebook.
According to Mwaura, his wife was a good friend who turned into a good thing for him, as it is put in the Bible. He penned down on his Instagram, 'Today, three Years ago, Best Friend who turned out to be a good THING. Now you know why i have save you as “THING” in my phonebook❤️❤️. 🥂 to many more,'
On her part, Nancy was grateful that together with her hubby they made a perfect match. She wrote on her Instagram, 'People are weird. When we find someone with weirdness that is compatible with ours, we team up and call it love. @joabmwaura ❤️❤️❤️,'
However, her witty hubby had other suggestions, replying to her comment with, ' Lakini mutura ndio sasa inaweza 😂,'
The two tied the knot in a lavish wedding that was only attended by close friends and family members. They went public about their relationship a few months to their wedding and held their ruracio (traditional engagement ceremony) eight months prior to their wedding.
