Beautiful Day: We got another wife on Saturday 23rd!

In our culture, a wife is for the home or maybe I should write that a wife belongs to the home! You don't go get a woman alone and have her alone! Not at all. Getting a wife is a clan or family business. It is an affair that involves many people. By the way, on the day of 'giving away' the girl to her suitor, the father hands her to the father of the groom. And it is always a moment of joy where both families have their most close family, friends, and acquaintances present. There are some special songs, monologues, folks, brainteasers, some dancing, nice food and drink, and elegance. Anyway, we can write about this next time... I have taken some time without writing. Not by my own making. It has been a tough period. I hope to write about it soon. Dap passed on and it will take God-given courage to write about that. He was such a good friend of mine. Such a good man. That's a piece for another day. But I thought I would make a note. Today we stepped out as a family, as a group of friends as Kin for a function to receive a wife. She is the 4th wife joining our family: The Bikosa Family. We first got Cathy who is my wife, We got Sherrie who is Edmunds, we got Patience who Edson’s and today we got Angella who is Peters'. Isn't God good? We are a full house. to bond, love one another, and rejoice.
Angella comes from a very decent family. The Auncle who gives Angela's hand in marriage is a very good man. He is a retired head teacher of secondary schools and a very respected member of the community. He is Mr. Polly Turambure. I have enjoyed every bit of interacting with him on this journey of Peter and Angella getting married. Such men who are well respected yet down to earth are few here. God bless him. Angella's mum is a bit emotional. Joy fully. She spoke motherly at the Kuhingira function today. I am not sure Angella will forget a thing. Our mothers are special.
At the Kihingira function today, Peter and Angella were very smart. I have a strong feeling they selected their type of music for the party. I thought the decoration was exquisite! You will agree with me. Look at the background of the ladies’ photo here. It was some African blended touch with bright golden lights around. Who doesn’t want nice things? It was all gospel - some nice selection of trending gospel songs. See what the Lord has done! Graham Tugume The pastor from Watoto Church prayed for them. Before that, he preached. He exposed I Corinthians 13. "Love does not dishonor...because honor is the position of God's Children. God bless Graham for this exposition.
We had a good ride going back home to - Nyakareire in the evening. We drove thiking about the beutiful day amd the gain. The weather was excellent all day. The rains were hard in the previos days but this day was all cool weather. It would look like it would rain but only to keep a dull shadow. It was perfect weather for the day! We will have a wedding function on January 19th, 2024 in Kampala. God has been good, God is good, may the name of the Lord be praised.
The Kuhingira function was held the Palm World Hotel in Mbarara. That of course was reminiscence in all ways! I and Cathy hosted our wedding reception at the very sport on May 7th, 2011. And I had no hand in choosing this as the venue for Agella’s Kuhingira. I think it was a nice coincidence. Like some other nice things come to us.
