Singing of the marriage certificate by Mr. Richard Miller in Mount Kilimanjaro.
This is how it
started…narrates Kara Lee: “Sometimes back during the last Christmas in
Minnesota, United States of America we had an engagement event with my
hubby Richard Miller and committed ourselves that the wedding event must
be done on the roof top of Africa and this is none other than
Kilimanjaro Mountain”.
Thereafter, the duo
started planning for this historic and unique event by raising money for
their trip to Tanzania and in particular Kilimanjaro Mountain. They
also informed their relatives about their plan to have their wedding in
Mount Kilimanjaro of which they got a green light from them.
They arrived in the
country last week and started their seven days Kilimanjaro expedition
through Machame route on 20th September, 2014 and spend an overnight at
Machame Hut waiting eagerly for their wedding on the following day. Zara
Tours Company based in Moshi, Kilimanjaro, organized the Kilimanjaro
climb.
Now here is the
D-Day: At Shira cave point where they arrived at around 12:00pm from
Machame Hut, other Kilimanjaro climbers are excitedly waiting for this
event, which was a talk of the day on Mount Kilimanjaro.
Pastor Aloyce Mbugi
from Tanzania Assemblies of God Victory Christian Centre in Arusha
started the church service intended to bring together Richard Miller and
Kara Lee as wife and husband. The pastor said that good foundation of
having a good nation started at the family level and urged the new
couple and other invitees to live by that principle.
Escorted by their
Patron Ansigar Mtandika and Neema Njau, the newly expected couple stands
out from their seats towards the altar where marriage oath was taken.
“Kara Lee from today
onwards you are my beloved wife, I will take care of you during happy
and hard moments of life until death do us apart” said Richard while
putting a wedding ring on the finger of his new wife.
“Richard Lee from
today onwards you are my beloved husband, I will take care of you during
happy and hard moments of life until death do us apart” said Kara while
also putting a wedding ring on the finger of her new husband.
And thereafter there
was champagne to wish good life to the new couple followed by event of
taking pictures and finally a good menu for the new family and all other
invitees and this was the end of the three hours wedding event.
Richard and Kara then
proceeded to have their first night as husband and wife at their tent.
Today they are proceeding with their Kilimanjaro climb up to Baranco
point and they are expected to summit on the rooftop of Mount
Kilimanjaro on 24th September, 2014 and descending out at Mweka Gate on
25th September, 2014.
“They look energetic
and determined to reach at the peak and I believe they will make it”
remarked Teophil Karia, a guide from Zara Tours who organized the climb.SOURCE MICHUZI MATUKIO
