Nation Media Group (NMG) journalist Eunice Kilonzo thanked dating app Tinder after she got married in a glitzy ceremony in Mombasa attended by family and friends.
The writer known for her in-depth articles on health issues and other human interest stories tied the knot with Jesse Muraya.
Muraya also chairs the youth committee at the Nairobi chapter of the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI).
"Thank you Tinder this wouldn’t have happened without you," Kilonzo captioned images from the stunning wedding held on Saturday, February 22, by the sea-side.
Friends and other netizens were quick to congratulate the newly married couple on social media as messages kept streaming in.
Tinder is one of the most popular dating apps not just in Kenya but around the world, providing an easy way to connect with potential romantic interests.
Kilonzo has won several awards for her journalism with many of her stories making the front-pages and garnering national attention.
In March 2019, for instance, she was crowned the best in the print category at the Africa Media Network on Health (AMNH) Excellence in Health Journalism Awards.
In May 2016, she was recognized by the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) for a story on abortion at a forum in Indonesia, taking home an award for the English print category.
In her acceptance speech, she stated: "This award is for Kwamboka, the 15-year-old girl I met at Kenyatta National Hospital, who because of a botched abortion ended up with kidney failure. She was lucky to survive but these are issues that should have all of us concerned."
The senior health journalist at NMG is currently on a merit scholarship at her alma mater, the University of Nairobi.
Muraya is an entrepreneur behind Pong Kenya, a Nairobi-based company that provides custom technology solutions for various clients.
Among other things, the company deals in cloud services, communication infrastructure and cyber security.
