Having seen the story, well-wishers offered to help them do a garden wedding ceremony. One such person is who was determined to make it happen is Altonen Jumba who runs an events planning company- Slique Events.
Standard Digital Entertainment spoke to Altonen who helped in planning the second wedding that was held on Valentine’s Day 14th Feb 2017 at Eden Bliss Garden along the Northern Bypass.
When asked what motivated him, the events planner said he was moved by the couple’s humility and their unique love story.
“We had a lot of challenges while preparing,” Jumba pointing out that it was not easy since some guys pulled out at the last minute.
He, however says he was able to pull through with the help of other service providers who were glad to help for free.
With things happening fast in the couple’s lives word has it that Wilson and Ann will be heading to Dubai for their honeymoon.
