This is how it started, narrates Kara Lee: “Sometimes back during the last Christmas in Minnesota, United States of America we had an engagement event with my hubby Richard Miller and committed ourselves that the wedding event must be done on the roof top of Africa and this is none other than Kilimanjaro Mountain”.
Thereafter, the duo started planning for this historic and unique event by raising money for their trip to Tanzania and in particular Kilimanjaro Mountain. They also informed their relatives about their plan to have their wedding in Mount Kilimanjaro of which they got a green light from them.

They arrived in the country last week and started their seven days Kilimanjaro expedition through Machame route on 20th September, 2014 and spend an overnight at Machame Hut waiting eagerly for their wedding on the following day.

Now here is the D-Day:
At Shira cave point where they arrived at around 12:00pm from Machame Hut, other Kilimanjaro climbers are excitedly waiting for this event, which was a talk of the day on Mount Kilimanjaro.
Pastor Aloyce Mbugi from Tanzania Assemblies of God Victory Christian Centre in Arusha started the church service intended to bring together Richard Miller and Kara Lee as wife and husband. The pastor said that good foundation of having a good nation started at the family level and urged the new couple and other invitees to live by that principle.
Escorted by their Patron Ansigar Mtandika and Neema Njau, the newly expected couple stands out from their seats towards the altar where marriage oath was taken.
