Groom: Michael Tuape
Bride: Maria Najjemba Tuape
Michael works at LUT University in Finland and Najjemba works with the United Nations.

How They Met:
“We met at Carrefour supermarket in Naalya, I was looking for bread and milk. Being unfamiliar with the supermarket, I met Maria in the bread section, so I sought her help, and she was so kind, we had minutes of conversation that ended in a contact exchange since I was traveling to the village. We kept in touch for a while, and as I returned to my workplace, I found Maria a very beautiful, interesting, loving, and caring person. I fell in love with her, she had all the qualities I wanted in a woman for a Wife. She swept me off completely with her intelligence. I must confess I’m attracted to the brain, and she got it.”





Proposal:
“I proposed after a month of dating on her Birthday. I told her I am traveling for work in Italy but in actual sense, I was traveling to Uganda to ask her to marry me. A few friends of hers helped in the preparation and made sure she came to the venue on time and asked for her hand in marriage. She said YES. Kukyala was in December 2022 after I had taken her to meet my parents and the introduction was on 8th March 2023.


Groom: Maria is an amazing and sweet soul. I fell in love with everything about her at first sight. She presents with a special demeanor that gives one the feeling of being with someone who gives you comfort. She is supportive, very hands-on, and exhibits special engagement skills. I just got connected to her personality and I have never felt different. She has given me the confidence of opening up about anything and I’m so free to express myself since I’m an expressive person, I love my wife she gives me every reason to have a wife.


Bride: I love that my husband is very intentional, kind, caring, listening, and loving (he shows his love for me in every way), he is so involved in my life and work. He makes me feel his presence and at ease in every way. He lights up days and nights with his cheerfulness, I love that I feel safe and at peace from the moment that he came into my life. He is such an intelligent person that I often consult him on everything around me which makes my life so easy. He is very prayerful and charming every moment is such a joyful memory. He is surely my answered prayer and the man with whom I look forward to spending the rest of my life.


Planning Process:
The planning process wasn’t that hectic because my wife is a very organized person, so meticulous, more specifically, we laid out a plan and what would be done each day. With some help from people, we had a smooth planning process.

Theme colors: White, Pink and Green:
The Groom loves white.
The bride loves Pink.
Green was for Nature.

Advice:
It’s your day, and remember it comes once in a lifetime, have your ceremony in ways you would love it, not what others would love to see. Enjoy your day and try to make it work within the confines of what you like. Involve as few people as possible in the execution of the planning process. Pray for each person involved including the service providers.

Service providers:
We looked for our service providers on Instagram based on their work and prayed about them.
