Weddings are fun but what many don’t know is that they are stressful to a point of giving up. Well DJ Gee Gee’s wife, Jasmine Macharia has come out to narrate what happened on their wedding day that left her crying a few hours before exchanging their vows.

Through her instagram page she shared a few lengthy posts where she wrote saying;

October 3rd. The day before our wedding. Everything went wrong. Some suppliers called and cancelled. The makeup artist to my bridesmaids cancelled. The hairdresser to my bridesmaids stopped picking my calls.  Everything, absolutely everything made me cry. I don’t think I’ve ever cried that much in my life. I think I had an emotional breakdown. The last few months of wedding planning were so exhausting and I just wanted one day before my wedding to rest my mind and I didn’t get that.

She went on to add;

I then went to the nearest salon I could find since it was raining and Nairobi traffic was beyond crazy, making it hard to make it to my salon where I was expected. The lady doing my nails lady gave me what was the worst French manicure I’d ever seen. I kid not! I’m not that picky but this woman just didn’t do a good job, my nails looked awful, and that made me cry even more. The lady doing my hair also didn’t look like she had done a weave before, so that of course made me cry.
It may sound silly, but when everything felt out of my control, I needed to know that I would at least look and feel good on my wedding day, and that clearly was becoming harder. After a certain guy intervened and did my manicure well, I started to feel hopeful.

Jasmine at the this point was disappointed she went on to narrate saying:

I think everyone at that salon had never seen a bride crying that much. Once I was done, I went to join my family in town so that we could head home, only to learn that my sister and mother got stuck in an elevator in town.  You all know what happened next, yes, I cried again.???? Someone managed to get them out, and we eventually went home. Let’s not even discuss the things that went wrong at home, it was all too much, so I just went to sleep early.  Exhausted but so eager to marry the love of my life.  On the next day, @djggactivist cried a river as I walked down the aisle and all through saying his vows. It was beautiful! I’m certain people wondered why I didn’t shed a tear. To be honest, I was all cried out, I literally didn’t have any more tears in tear ducts so instead I smiled all through my wedding. I purposed to enjoy the day even if things weren’t as I had planned. At the end of the day, we were just happy to be married.

In another posts she said:

How did you know he was the one? A question I get countless times. Simple. I had peace about him. I loved him yes, but that wasn’t the only reason why. Before the hubby and I started dating, I had been single for 2 years. He had been single for 5+. Before that, I had dated a lot ever since I was a teen. By the time I chose single hood, I was done with “dating just to date.” I wasn’t going to allow loneliness to push me to the arms of someone who wasn’t going to be my husband. I’d wasted enough time before that. I didn’t need another ex. During that time, my focus was on God! I started to see singlehood as a blessing instead of a curse, and I devoted myself to enjoying my time with God. I served in church, made new friends, travelled, and legit enjoyed every minute of it! I stopped flirting, crushing and leading any guys on. It just didn’t seem right for me to waste someone else’s time or to mislead them. Their time and hearts were just as valuable as mine. I remember when Geegee and I started talking. I went to God in prayer asking Him the purpose behind it. All I got was peace. It was so strange to me at first since I was so used to God telling me “no” and showing me that it wasn’t the person He had for me. On hubby’s side, he was fasting and praying as well and we literally prayed through every text. It may sound ridiculous but none of us wanted to waste each other’s time. If this wasn’t it, we were okay with God ending it before it started. I remember telling God, “me and you are good! If this isn’t it, please end it!” And again all I got was peace. Then I started understanding that His peace was a yes. I had never had such peace with anyone else. I just felt like I finally belonged. Fast forward to 2-3 weeks of us talking, hubby asked me to be his girlfriend, and made it clear on the first day, that we were courting towards marriage. He didn’t beat about the bush and I said yes. I never thought I would meet a man who knew what he wanted from the get-go! It was such a breathe of fresh air. A year and half later, we got married. #forevertheMacharias

It’s one day to our anniversary and it seems you guys are enjoying the stories of our love ? Fun fact: we did the Harlem shake after we were pronounced husband and wife. Don’t believe me, watch the video on my bio. I don’t think anyone expected to see a whole bridal time turning up before the reception. Lol! So if you’re getting married, it’s your day. Make it fun! Do something that you can look back on when you’re older that can cause you to laugh at yourself. ??? #forevertheMacharias
