“When he proposed to me, it was quite unique,” the elderly woman said, adding: “My heart convinced me that he’s the right partner.”

People including the woman’s mother-in-law have all advised her to abandon him because they thought she is only wasting her life with a man who can neither walk nor work to take care of her, but she rejected their counsel.

She had two children before she got married to her current husband with whom she has none. She disclosed that they’ve attempted to get intimate but have not succeeded due to the man’s condition.

The man narrated that he was born disabled but his parents failed to take him to the hospital until it was too late to remedy his condition.

He lives with his partner in a small mud house in a hilly area where he was born and has never moved anywhere far from the village.

"I sent a messenger to find me love, and when I told her what was on my heart, she said 'yes', and that's how we have lived together since," the man recounted.

The woman has resolved to toil to take care of herself and him, and that’s what she has done for decades - working for people on their farms among other things to put food on the table.

Aside from all the toil to provide food, she bathes her husband, cleans his mess, carries her to the farm, and so on.

The couple they have grown to be so fond of each other that they can hardly live without each other’s company.

Another love story that sparked a lot of reactions is that of a 26-year-old woman who was bullied by people including her biological father who said she would not get any man to marry her due to her short stature.

Identified as Uwiriyingiyimana Odeth, the lady was born short and has suffered bullying at the hands of other children who called her dwarf.

To worsen her plight, her father was one of the bullies and always told her she wouldn’t get any man to marry her due to her height.

She was born in 1995 but his father refused to send her to school because he had no hope in her.

Interestingly, despite her height, a man identified as Dushirimana Celestin has fallen in love with her and intends to marry her.

According to him, the bullying by others including her own father was what made him fall in love with Odeth.

Although he is equally facing bullying from other people in the community for his decision, he has resolved to make the lady his wife and settle down with her.

The marriage between a Tanzanian woman identified as Cecilia Kusaga and her lover got people who had hitherto given up on ever finding love to have a rethink.

The businesswoman displayed admirable humility on her wedding day when she put her ‘big woman’ status aside and knelt before her groom to pour out her heart to him.

A viral video of her kneeling before her husband while appealing to him with a lot of passion not to let any “other person come between us apart from God” evoked a lot of emotions.

“I would like our marriage life to be private. Let there be no other person between us apart from God. I beg you my love to always take everything on prayer. If there's something wrong, go to the pulpit and kneel down and pray because that's where we exchanged vows. Let us believe in God and our marriage will last)," she said in a local dialect.

Another video shows her still on her knees while presenting a cake to the groom, which was meant for her parents and those of the groom.

Guests, family and friends in attendance could be seen applauding Cecilia and cheering her, with admiration written all over their faces.
