My Vow Ceremony đź’Ť 07.12.2025
One of the most sacred moments of my life… standing before the Lord and before witnesses, making a covenant to God with my husband to love each other til death do us part.
What made the day even more sentimental is that it happened in my parents garden. The very backyard where I once played as a little girl, I stood as a woman, now a wife. The same ground that held my childhood now holds the moment I said goodbye to my parent’s household.
I used this intimate ceremony to recreate my cultural attire. Having such a deep appreciation for my cultural heritage, I took inspiration from our kikoyi cloth and our traditional suuka design and came up with my wedding dress.
Thanks to my designer @mp_designers who made my dreams come true.

My Kwanjula 🇺🇬 5.12.2025
Imagine a day where a bride stands before her family and says, “I have found the one I love.” 🤍
In a Baganda Kwanjula, the bride gently and proudly introduces her groom, while the groom comes with honour to ask her family for her hand in marriage in her parents home. It’s something simple but powerful showcasing that love is patient, kind and in our culture it includes the people who raised you.
It’s not just a tradition, it’s a picture of unity, just as God designed ❤️
“Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” – Mark 10:9

Three years ago today…
Mr. Mayanja walked into my family home for a meeting he’d arranged with my father. Nervous yet determined, he sat for three hours with my dad — and that day, he asked for permission to court me and my father approved.
Later that same day, he asked me to then be his girlfriend ❤️
We had been friends for a year before that moment, and from friendship, love quietly grew. From meeting in Uganda to falling in love in South Africa, our story is orchestrated by God our Lord
Thank you for pursuing me three years ago. Thank you for pursuing me now.
And thank you for the way I know you’ll pursue me in all the years to come.
To many, many, many more 🤍

My Saviour’s name is often used as a profane swear word and I believe this is something that should be acknowledged.
This kind of language is not commonly directed toward other religions, because it would be considered dishonouring and intolerant. It raises the question of why such behaviour has become normalised in this context.
We live in a society that strives for acceptance of differences, yet at times it feels as though we are selective about what we choose to respect.
In many conversations, we encourage tolerance of all opinions and beliefs, even when we do not personally agree. We actively promote a culture that values diverse perspectives.
Yet when it comes to my faith and the God I serve, His name is often used casually and profanely. If it is wrong to mock or disrespect any belief or religion, then that standard should apply consistently.
Jesus Christ is my Saviour, and His name is not a swear word.
John 4:28-30
Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?” They came out of the town and made their way toward him.
