By George Emuron

Kampala: Speaker Annet Anita Among has Saturday afternoon witnessed the holy marriage of Charles Bbale Mayiga and his wife, Sonia Elizabeth Nabagereka, at Rubaga Cathedral.

Charles Bbale Mayiga is the son of the Katikkiro of Buganda, Charles Peter Mayiga.

The couple was wed by the main celebrant, Rt. Rev. Bishop of Masaka Catholic Diocese, Serverus Jjumba, and witnessed by several dignitaries, including Nnabagereka of Buganda, Sylvia Nagginda, Chief Justice, and Alfonse Owiny-Dollo, among others.

While blessing the marriage, Rt. Rev. Jjumba made a call to the newlyweds to put God ahead of anything else and remain faithful to one another.

“This is a covenant that needs divine assistance. Uphold and respect your marriage vows, and dedicate them to God. Above all, love one another,” he said.

Speaker Among, who was the chief guest, thanked the parents of the newlyweds for nurturing and aligning their children with the norms, values, and cultures of African society that respect the sanctity of marriage.

She advised the young couple to build their marriage on true love and friendship.

“You are coming from different backgrounds, and this comes with different values and attitudes. Make sure you get a mutual ground to live happily together. Be best friends if you are to have an eternal relationship,” he said.

Among them advised the bride to respect her new family and remain submissive to her husband.

“Sonia, as you go into the new family, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are now your father and mother in love,” she said.

The speaker added, “Be a good wife; respect your husband. After chairing the house, I run home to cook for Mr. Magogo. When I am home, I am a wife, and when I am at Parliament, I am a Speaker.”

She gifted the couple with 10 heads of cattle and wished them a blissful marriage.
