after scouting around, i have decided to settle for jean. there were several candidates to choose from but jean beat them all. it was interesting to see that despite being a candidate in many a ladies list, i never appeared in her list. well, with tact, words and actions, i top it now. not an easy game, i would have preferred learning backgammon but jean it had to be.
jean’s candidature as the first lady poses its unique challenges and i have to spend a fortune, prayers and strategy to overcome the challenges.
i would have preferred a quiet solemn ceremony somewhere inside the attorney general’s chambers, but jean wont hear of it. she has the senate and congress votes and that ensures that i play ball. the senate comprises of her nuclear gang and the congress, mine nuclear gang!
i am also in a busy mode shopping for a clergyman to do the knots bearing in mind that i have been a visiting church member in many a nairobi churches, i am not sure i belong anywhere. i am seriously considering my pcea roots but that communion card has not been filled for years.
jean wants a garden wedding. i thought hallowed grounds make the event get the seriousness it deserves but she is of a venusian mindset. “jeevanjee gardens?” i innocently ask. “no sweetie, not any of that, and don’t mention uhuru park or arboretum, i know that’s where you are getting next” she extends the reply. jean can read minds, that’s a revelation. she now knows my tactics. she knew i wanted to joke about the garden wedding idea and push for my hallowed grounds eventually. jean is damn serious about a garden wedding. i hope she doesn’t mention naivasha, and camouflage the boat ride down the aisle.
the samantha’s bridal magazine is my next challenge. i innocently bought for my mademoiselle the bride magazine and its now making me feel like tearing off some pages. i intend to do no loans neither fund raising nor wedding committees, its all on my precious savings. jean has decided to give the budget a shove but if we follow that magazine, my goodness, we will feed on stones for sometime after the wedding. the baby magazine isn’t helping either. i am wishing she just kept to eve, drum and true love. i have introduced some collections which are bringing grim finalities to the reality of the situation. thank heavens, the event is still afar off i have some time to be sane and plan.

I hope you work it out coz frankly you have taken one gigantic behemoth of a step..cross your fingers. But enjoy it in the meantime..just jua there is an accident ahead.
Nice writing if I say so myself. It's always fun to see a man walk the plank or consign himself to the guilded cage depending on how you look at it!
Congrats!!! Tell Jean that she only gets married ONCE (hopefully) so she should knock herself out and knock that budget to space. (smile)
you are sure jamaapoa. Nice decision you've made there and a surprise, we didnt see it coming.. All the best man.
@mama shady, not so soon though, taking my time through the whole process. at least got several months or so to go. the sasha p file posts were not done by me. its hard to shoo the society away depending on a few factors.
@anon, its a mammoth of a decision but a man got to do what a man got to do.its a gamble as much as it is a decision, no big rush though.
@acolyte, have taken all factors into consideration, even if i postpone the decision, the predictability of it working wont change much. the sooner the better. its a cage for sure, but it could be for my best interests.
@kenyangal, thanks, hopefully we get a middle ground that is friendly to our pockets. at least we are still open to the various options.
@dizzy, i am convinced its the right thing to do. it's high time jp settled.
