How they met

I first saw her at my sister’s wedding in 2013. Ofcourse she didn’t pick interest in, although I liked her right away. Then in 2016 we met again at Makerere University as she was applying for her degree. We became good friends. We started during her second semester of her first year.

Engagement

There was no engagement, let me say that because immediately after her final exams Debbie travelled to Dubai for two weeks. It was the first time since we started dating that I was away from her for a long time and we communicated less. I really missed her. She has always been my full time day maker.

The day I picked her from the airport I told her “I want to marry you.” Her answer was “Where’s the ring?” I didn’t have it😂I told her I have no ring but bought you cake because I know she is a cake lover. She said “okay, put the cake on my finger.” We both laughed about it. She actually never took me seriously at first until I asked her to set a date the for the previsit.

Planning the Kwanjula

Our introduction was held on 22/02/2020.
We involved our friends and family in the planning process, which made everything easym. They shared ideas and set up meetings. We actually never had serious challenges putting the kwanjula together because from the beginning we knew we were actually green when it comes to these traditional events. So we involved our elders more.
