Counsel Timna: April 2021

I had two day long wedding in Tana River starting with a ceremony and ending with a party. Timna and Elisha’s intimate jungle chic wedding at Ngao AIC was the perfect combination of elegance and a good time.

I met Elisha in 2015 in Nairobi, I remember the day like yesterday. That day definitely goes down as the best days of my life, because I got to meet my soul mate. After brief introductions, I was eager to know him more and I guess it was mutual because he asked me out on more dates and a few days later he asked me to be his girlfriend. The joy is untold. My live for Elisha isn’t just vast, but also very deep. He proposed on 19^th March 2017 in Watamu and I said yes. We had our traditional wedding on 21^st December 2019 and had scheduled our wedding for 11^th April 2020 and then boom…the pandemic. The first case of coronavirus disease was confirmed in Kenya by The Ministry of Health in Nairobi on the 12^t^h March 2020. The cases continued to increase causing all public gatherings including weddings to be banned by the government. So we had to postpone our wedding till further notice.

When things started opening up we scheduled for another date, 21^st November 2021, and surely God made it beautiful. It’s true what they say, that God’s time is the best. "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has even put eternity in their heart; yet mankind will never find out the work that the true God has made from start to finish." Ecclesiastes 3:11

... And suddenly all the love songs were about me.

bridal shower/robe bridal party

Before the wedding we had a bridal shower and a robe bridal party at the ocean beach resort

On that fateful day I was showered with wishes for a lifetime of happiness and love...

Timna’s simple but chic details for the day.

The wedding ring for the day was so glamorous. It desired it’s own spotlight on the blog.

Details maketh the man… and telling by Elisha’s details, he was a simple, and stylish gentleman. Definitely my type.

The theme colour

she was yellow, he blue and their love red, they united to make a shade of maroon... Burgundy burgundy burgundy

the theme was burgundy and peach

take me to church

walking down the isle

On that fateful day, I stepped slowly down the aisle into the journey of my new life... Henceforth, call me Mrs. Timna.

short poem from the bride

This day 21st November 2020

This day I married my best friend

the one I laugh with as we share life’s wondrous zest,

as we find new enjoyments and experience all that’s best.

the one I live for because the world seems brighter

as our happy times are better and our burdens feel much lighter.

the one I love with every fiber of my soul.

We used to feel vaguely incomplete, now together we are whole.

cheers to a new beginning

Sunday 22^nd November 2020, the homecoming ceremony

after our wedding ceremony on Saturday, we had what is called a Homecoming on sunday which is like another wedding reception. The Homecoming is given by the groom’s family, and signifies that the groom is “bringing home” a new bride. It’s a wachakone wedding tradition and another huge celebration with lots of dancing, drinking, eating and socializing.

I would love to leave you with beautiful photos of us.

God is the ultimate and perfect match maker, who is like him, who can compare to him. To him alone be glory, honour and praise.

Allow me friends to eave you with the words of Isaiah 34:16 that I love very much, especially for those still waiting on God, “Look in the scroll of the LORD and read: None of these will be missing, not one will lack her mate. For it is his mouth that has given the order, and his Spirit will gather them together.”
