After the wedding, Mbogo told reporters that they met in 1960 and fell in love then. He explained that after a series of years together, they decided to do a white wedding since they were Christians.
"We met and fell in love in 1960, do you hear? We deliberated together and decided it would be great if we did a white wedding, we know in our Kikuyu custom that we are legally married, but since we are also Christians, we decided to do a church wedding,” Mbogo said.

When asked about their secret of staying together for that long period of time, Wangui urged women to hold their husbands in high regard.
"Women, you must respect your husbands, if you do that, then you will live as we have. Don't do any wrong, and when you do, just apologise and seek forgiveness,” she said.
