Nairobi Star (Nairobi)

The Seventh Day Adventists Nairobi Central Church opposite Integrity Centre just off Valley Road in Nairobi was a sea of colour as Fiona Ongeri wed her one true love Vincent Aberi.
Fiona who is the daughter of education minister Sam Ongeri is also a respected chemist in her own right penning several papers in her Texas USA base. The groom Aberi is an investment analyst with his firm A & K Global consulting Group L.L.C. with years of banking experience. He studied at The University of Texas at Arlington together with his bride.
There was a large showing of personalities from across the political spectrum and during the church service, it was rumoured that President Kibaki would be among the guests. This was not to be. However there was a strong showing from deputy prime minister Uhuru Kenyatta and several other MP’s including Chris Obure, Prof Ayiecho Olweny, Charles Keter and George Nyamweya.
The bright Sunny day was however not about politicians but about the groom and bride and their families. Professor Ongeri addressed Aberi stating he was now welcome to the family and not a visitor. Singing group Divine did a wonderful rendition of Shania Twain’s “From this moment on” that aptly reminded the wedded couple that from now they were one. We at The Star wish the wedded couple the best in their new life together.
