These days, celebrating ten years of marriage is no mean feat, and after celebrating eight years of marriage to his wife Mimi, Maurice Odhiambo started preparing for the milestone.

Odhiambo: What do you want for celebration?

He asked his wife what she wanted for the celebration; Instead of asking for a new house, car, or trip overseas, among other gifts common with such celebrations, his lovely wife declared she wanted to celebrate it surrounded by nature.

"On our eighth wedding anniversary, I asked my wife her ideal 10th wedding anniversary celebration set up, and she told me she wished to celebrate it under a vine with beautiful flowers," said Odhiambo.

" I couldn't find such a place, so I decided to make one for her," he shared with TUKO.co.ke.

A small water fountain for birds to bathe drink, and also bring natural water sound to the garden to relax the mind also exists n the garden.

"I have spend two years growing this vine, so glad I made her dreams come true. We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary under the vine just as she wished," he said.

"It's all about passion, doing things that make you and those you love happy. Anything you decide to water will grow," he added.

Odhiambo started the project in 2021, and in 2023 they held their celebrations in their gazebo surrounded by their loved ones.

"We use this spot for family dinners, brunch , and entertaining guests," he offered.
