You wake up one morning, broke and depressed because your kid is sick and your boss has refused to give you a salary advance to get medical attention for the kid only to find that you have been added to yet another Whatsapp group.
'Waitherero weds Kihuho Wedding Support Committee' is the name of the group and bears the profile picture of this guy whom you schooled within primary school and this slay queen who has obviously bleached because her neck is darker than the face. You become immediately angry because these two look happy while you are languishing.
1. They want you to pledge money to support their wedding
The couple wants that you pledge anything from Sh5, 000 so that they can meet the expenses to their expensive wedding ceremony that will take place in Mombasa while the reception will be in Nairobi. The couple wants to fly and have a honeymoon in Hawaii, a city that you only seen on Google Maps.
2. You are not social with either of the two
Before this wedding committee, WhatsApp group was formed, you never remembered that Kihuho, the bridegroom exists. You barely remember him in school. But hey, after much thinking, you remember that Kihuho was the school bully who used to eat your lunch and beat you when you threatened to report him. Now, here he is, looking for you to support his wedding.
3. You are in a come-we-stay relationship
You wonder why the two will not live like all the rest of us. Who does weddings these days? From the body language of the couple in the Whatsapp profile pic, the two are already having sex and as such, they are not pure. Why disturb people while they could start a come we stay relationship.
4. The Whatsapp group is too noisy
The Whatsapp group has all sorts of characters; those who think that they are funny but are not and keep on posting old jokes, those in business who keep on selling stuff and then there are politicians who keep on spewing vitriol on other tribes.
