Bosco Sekiranda said he met Mercy Lunkuse in high school in which he was a day scholar while she was boarding.
Speaking to My Wedding, Bosco said that his parents could not afford to give him pocket money for lunchtime in their days in school as they were poor.
Lunkuse, on the other hand, was business savvy and would sell food to other children during lunchtime.
At one time, the guy did not have anything for lunch except avocadoes, and he thought of an idea that sparked their friendship and love.
"I asked her to give me posho (ugali) in exchange for my avocados. I told her that all I needed was something to eat at school. She was quick to buy the idea. That’s how we became friends," he said.
However, they did not have enough time to enjoy their newfound love as the lady's parents transferred her to another school, and they lost contacts.
In 2009, as fate would have it, they reconnected through a friend and soon after she was done with her university studies, they started a brand new relationship which led to their marriage in February 2021.

The woman posted that she needed a baby. Minutes after the tweet went out, a man quoted it and wrote "same".
Months after, they both got what they wanted as those tweets set on course their relationship. The second frame of the photos the woman shared shows both of them as a couple with the lady pregnant.
Tweeps were amazed by her love story as many wondered why some people find love easily in the most unlikely manner.
