My goodness, the last week for me has been a whirlwind.

Those who follow me on social media know that the story of my husband and I and our recent wedding has now gotten onto national media. The response has been overwhelming. we’ve gotten calls, emails and inbox messages from men and women, some saying that our story has moved them to tears, others saying that our story has encouraged them and given them hope. Not hope to get married in particular, but just hope that miracles happen, that love prevails, and that we can do things differently.

But there’s been another story that has just been as moving for me, and which I don’t know if I’ll tell as compellingly – that of music.

Today, I celebrate my two-week wedding anniversary. Yes, I got married. Imagine me. After years of being told I was too vocal and too knowledgeable for a man to fall in love with me, my detractors have been proved wrong. A man in Kenya – a Kenyan man – loves me. And life is just fabulous.
