A Love Worth the Wait: Mami Deb & Michael’s Wedding in the Maldives Was a Dream Come True

By Isa King | November 13, 2024

Deborah and Michael’s love story began in the UK, where Deborah had moved from Uganda years earlier. While working at an elderly care home, she met Michael in passing on her way out of work. They started chatting here and there, with Michael moving at a slow, steady pace, while Deborah kept things casual, unsure about a serious relationship. Just as she was thinking of ending their communication, Michael surprised her by sharing his desire to build something real together. His selflessness and kindness made Deborah take notice, while Michael was drawn to the authentic woman behind the glamorous Instagram posts—a woman who, with grace and compassion, dedicated herself to caring for the elderly while pursuing her own business dreams.

Their bond grew even stronger when they returned to Uganda, where they became stars on the hit reality show Kampala Creme. With the love they shared reaching new heights, Michael planned a breathtaking proposal at a stunning resort, sealing their commitment in a way they’d both remember forever. Soon after, the couple celebrated with a beautiful destination wedding in the Maldives, where they exchanged vows surrounded by loved ones and the tranquil beauty of the ocean. Their journey from a chance meeting to a tropical wedding was nothing short of magical, showing that sometimes love is worth the wait.
