ACTOR LENANA KARIBA AND WIFE HELEN CELEBRATE FIRST WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

Actor Lenana Kariba and his wife Helen are more in love than ever. One year after saying ‘I do’, the couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary on Thursday by sharing a sweet photo on Instagram from their special day.

Kariba talked about their beautiful journey, “A year ago today I said ‘I do’ to the best thing that ever happened to me. I can’t believe it’s only been a year, and I can’t wait to continue this amazing, fun, crazy, beautiful journey with you. You’re the best part of me, you’re my best friend, my rock and the love of my life. You brought real happiness into my life and you make me feel complete.  I love you @i_am_helen13. Happy anniversary #1stAnniversary #MrAndMrs #WeddingPic #Antigua #BestDayEver #TheBestPart #OneYearToday.”

Speaking in an exclusive Interview with Buzz Central, the Single Kiasi actor opened up about his marriage for the first time. “I met my wife here in Kenya, her circle of friends are the same as mine which is surprising. We met at one of my friend’s birthday party, I have known the guy for about seven and apparently so has she but we never met until that time. From the onset I knew this might be something because of how we clicked and it didn’t feel like I was chatting her up, we were just talking and the way we interacted it just worked.”

On why they decided to do a destination wedding Kariba said his wife wanted a beach wedding, “After I proposed to her and we talked about the wedding she told me she wanted a beach wedding. In fact she wanted to get married in Diani but there was a lockdown and we were in the UK, we got tired of waiting and just wanted to have that moment. When we looked up for where to do it because in the UK we couldn’t do it, a few places came up, Antigua was one of them and decided to go for a holiday and while we were there we decided to get married. We are going to have a second wedding here.”

Talking about marriage life he said, “What has surprised me the most after getting married is that nothing has changed. After we announced the wedding we got a few comments from people, ‘why would he go and choose a white girl and we are here’ apart from that it has been fine. I think for the last 10 years it has become such a normal thing for people to marry outside their race.”
