Proof of Love: Inside Jodom & Mary’s Historic Nairobi Wedding
June was officially Bitcoin Month in Kenya.
Over several weeks, the country hosted a massive series of events that brought together builders from all over Africa and the world. There was the Lightning Developer Bootcamp in Kisumu, BitDesigners Meetup in Nairobi, the Bitcoin++ conference, and finally, the main Bitcoin Nairobi Conference. Developers wrote code, entrepreneurs pitched ideas, and builders shared knowledge.
But after the final talks ended and the conference halls emptied, the month closed with something even better.
Jodom Konuko and Mary Imasuen got married.
Jodom Konuko (the creator of Minmo and Bitsacco) and Mary Imasuen (a podcaster and Minmo co-founder) stepped away from the tech events to get married.
For the African Bitcoin community, this wedding was a huge moment. It showed that this movement is not just about charts, apps, or technology. It is about real people who care about each other.
A Cross-Border Love Story
The wedding brought together two of the continent’s most respected grassroots builders, bridging Kenyan and Nigerian roots in a celebration that was as vibrant as it was intimate.

The couple has always kept their community close to their journey. Months earlier, Mary shared their engagement with a subtle nod to their shared passion, noting the exact Bitcoin block height—926961—when she said yes.
More Than Just a Conference
It was the perfect end to a month that brought Africa’s Bitcoin community together. The very same people who spent weeks working in workshops and hackathons found themselves celebrating a completely different milestone, one that had nothing to do with software or business.
And of course, the Africa Bitcoin community showed up in their numbers. It was proof that the ecosystem doesn’t just show up for conferences or events, but also to celebrate the people within the ecosystem on their special days.
The guests were not just work colleagues. They were friends, builders, and community leaders who have worked together for years, helping each other through hard times and building tools for Africa’s future. They came together not for another work event, but to celebrate two friends who have helped shape the community itself.
Real Connections, Real People
In the tech world, success is usually measured by new apps, funding, and tech upgrades. But this wedding was a beautiful reminder that communities are ultimately built by real human beings.
Long before there are successful companies or big tech projects, there are friendships, partnerships, and shared experiences. That is what makes lasting collaboration possible.
Jodom and Mary didn’t just celebrate their love, they reminded everyone that the African Bitcoin ecosystem is truly a family.
