Citizen Television news anchor and reporter Michael Njenga married his long-term fiancée Phoebe Wanjiku on Saturday, January 9, at the Kenya Technical Trainers College in Gigiri, Nairobi.
According to the couple, they met at a dinner hosted by mutual friends three years ago and, after courtship, set their wedding date for January 9, 2016.
Speaking to Citizen Digital, Njenga described the connection he shares with his wife: "We share so many inside jokes, even if we are on opposite sides of the room and we see something that we both relate to, we automatically turn to look at each other."
