A 95-year-old Kenyan man married his 90-year-old longtime partner on Sunday, marking their union six decades after they first met. Ibrahim Mbogo exchanged vows with Tabitha Wangui, his beloved, in a church wedding held in Mukurweini, a town located about three hours northeast of Nairobi. Mbogo shared that they first met and fell in love in 1960 and decided together to have a church wedding to complement their traditional Kikuyu marriage. "We thought it would be wonderful to have a white wedding. While our Kikuyu custom legally recognizes our marriage, as Christians, we wanted to honor it with a church ceremony," Mbogo said.

"We are away from our best so three points is the good news. The bad news is we have 65 games ahead of us. "We have an advantage, it's our ninth season to...
