Mlio kwenye ndoa na mabachela yasomeni maneno haya ya baba kwa mume wa binti yake siku ya harusi ya vijana hao.
Dear Son-In-Law, I thought I would
start my speech by addressing you as the “new” family of my daughter.
But I think it would be inappropriate because now that she is married,
you are “the family” for her.
Believe me; I don’t have a problem with
that. I, in fact, want my daughter to have “you” as her priority now.
Its time for us to take a backseat in her life.
We would happily accept it but would surely request one thing- please keep her happy!
We would happily accept it but would surely request one thing- please keep her happy!
I am more than sure that you will keep her very happy. She will perhaps
be happier than what she used to be here.
But like all fathers, I obsess
over my daughter’s happiness which is making me say this over and over
again- please keep her happy!
She never was and will never be a burden for me.
She is in fact the reason why I breathe and smile. I am getting her married because this is what the law of nature demands.
I am helpless in the face of our culture and therefore sending her to your home.

She was the happiness of
my home and will now light up your home. I am giving my world to you.
Please make sure it remains beautiful. I am giving away my princess to
you.
Please make sure she stays as a queen. I have raised her with my sweat and blood and now she is wonderfully perfect.

For all the care,
love, beauty and warmth my daughter will bring into your lives, I just
want her happiness in return—please keep her happy!
If at times you think that my daughter has said or done something wrong,
feel free to scold her. But handle her with love. She is very fragile.
If at times she feels low, be with her. She just needs a little bit of your attention. If at times she feels sick, show her some care.

It’s the
medicine that works best for her. If at times she fails to fulfill a
responsibility, feel free to chastise her. But empathize with her.
She is still learning. Do understand her—please keep her happy!
