"I was so focused on landing the job that I didn’t even notice the Tall, Dark and Handsome (TDH) HR dude who sat in my interview that kept staring at me. I noticed him but kept wondering why he was so quiet and didn’t ask any questions as he hardly spoke," she narrated.

But after the interview, Okonji could not get her mind off the quiet gentleman at the interview. Two weeks later, she received an offer letter and started her job and soon after, she and her interviewer then started a friendship that blossomed into a beautiful relationship.

"We knew that for us to take it to the next level, one of us had to leave the organisation, but we continued our plans in faith and believed that a new job will come in due time. God at the right time blessed him with a job on my birthday April 8," Okonji wrote.

Couple marry 3 days after meeting on Tinder

Elsewhere, a Nairobi couple got married three days after meeting on Tinder. Nairobi couple Godfrey and Pauline Mwakazi are a true definition of love wins. They met on Tinder six years ago, and they are happily married today.

Godfrey narrated how they travelled to Mombasa for a holiday a few weeks after they met. The day Godfrey had planned to propose to her, Pauline was mad at him, and convincing her to join him on the dancing floor was a hard task.

She, however, later agreed to join him; little did she know he wanted to propose to her. While dancing, he stopped, and then boom, he proposed to her.
