Nakuru residents were treated to a moment of joy and celebration over the weekend after a deaf couple exchanged vows in a one-of-a-kind wedding ceremony held in a Catholic Church.

Fifty-year-old Thomas Mamisu married his gorgeous bride, Grace, in a ceremony their close family and friends attended.

In a report by Kameme TV, the deaf couple, who were filled with joy, exchanged their vows through a sign language interpreter, proving that true love transcends any form of human limitation.

Grace's parents could not hide their joy as their daughter got married to her soulmate. They said they realised she was deaf when she was six months old.

"Who knew my daughter Grace would find a husband and have such a beautiful wedding? God has indeed blessed her today," the bride's dad said.

The groom's parents were also delighted to witness their son finally finding a life partner.

"He was not born deaf. He developed a hearing impairment when he was seven years old. I am really happy that he has found himself a wife. He will be happy," his mother said.

The couple, now set to spend the rest of their lives together, met in Nakuru while hustling.

"We should get many people to learn the sign language especially in the church as this will make those with hearing impairment feel included," a nun from the church said.
