A love story that blossomed amidst the turmoil of the now-withdrawn Finance Bill 2024 protests has captured the attention of Kenyans and well-wishers alike. Tony Sherman and Gloria Kendi, a couple whose romance began in the most unexpected of places, are set to wed this weekend, and their story has garnered the support of many, including prominent digital content creator and comedian Terence Creative.
Tony Sherman and Gloria Kendi’s love story began during the chaotic protests against the Finance Bill 2024. What started as a chance meeting during the maandamano (protests) quickly evolved into something much more. After sharing coffee and engaging in hours of deep conversation, the pair felt an undeniable connection. In just two months, they were engaged, and now, only three months after their first meeting, they are ready to say their vows.
The couple’s story, which has since gone viral on social media, struck a chord with many Kenyans. Their love blossomed in a time of unrest, providing a glimmer of hope and positivity during a period marked by widespread discontent. As their wedding date approached, the couple received an outpouring of support from the public, with many people eager to contribute to their special day.
One of the most notable supporters is Terence Creative, a well-known comedian, content creator, and recently turned film producer and director. Terence, known for his humorous skits and relatable content, was touched by the couple’s unique love story. In a video shared on Tony Sherman’s official Instagram page, Terence, alongside his wife, Nasra Yusuf, was seen sitting with Tony in a casual setting, discussing the upcoming wedding and the couple’s plans for the future.
During the conversation, Tony revealed that while they were excited to tie the knot, they had not yet planned their honeymoon due to financial constraints. The couple had focused their resources on the wedding itself, leaving little room for additional expenses. Tony mentioned that they would plan their honeymoon at a later date, once they had recovered from the wedding expenses.
Upon hearing this, Terence Creative stepped in with an offer that took the couple by surprise. The father of two, known for his generous spirit, promised to sponsor the couple’s honeymoon, ensuring they would have a memorable start to their married life. Terence announced that he would reach out to Simon Kabu, the CEO of Bonfire Adventures, a popular travel and tour company, to arrange a free holiday for the couple at the Kenyan coast.
“I wish you all the best in your marriage. May nothing be rejected in your union, and I hope there will be no maandamano in your marriage,” Terence said, adding a touch of humor as he addressed Sherman. He continued, “Don’t worry about your honeymoon. I will talk with Jambo Jambo Bonfire Adventures, and we’ll see how we can organize it. Let’s see if you can occupy JKIA on your way to Mombasa.”
True to his word, Terence promised to personally ensure that the couple would have a honeymoon to remember. “Honeymoon is on me. I will take care of it. You guys go and enjoy yourselves,” he asserted, leaving the couple both surprised and grateful.
The gesture by Terence Creative not only reflects his kindness but also highlights the importance of supporting love and happiness in all its forms. Tony and Gloria’s story, which began in a time of uncertainty, is now a beacon of hope and positivity, proving that love can indeed flourish in the most unexpected circumstances. As they prepare to exchange vows this Sunday, 25th August, the couple can look forward to a beautiful honeymoon on the Kenyan coast, thanks to the generosity of Terence Creative and Bonfire Adventures.
