The story of Mercy and Nthangali will have you believing in the power of love all over again. They both first met at work while she was visiting a different branch. She couldn’t take her eyes off him and had to ask her friend who he was. Nthangali also spotted her going about her business and had to ask another colleague who she was and if she could help him get her digits.

Cupid’s arrow must have rang true, a fact that became even more evident when they both met a second time at another colleague’s party. Conversations began between them and this marked the beginning of their relationship.

Mercy’s love for Nthangali was mirrored in the way she accepted his son as hers, and the love she shared with the little boy convinced Nthangali that she was a keeper, cue the proposal. Let us check out some of the highlights from her kitchen party celebrations.

Looking at Mercy and Nthangali just makes us wish cupid could fly past this way and shoot some arrows our way; maybe we will also find that endearing love like the one being displayed by the couple.
