On February 20th 2010 I officially introduced my fiance to my family and friends in a ceremony called kwanjula (luganda for introduce). It was a simple function - the only thing that was wasn't simple was the 550 guests we hosted. The function was held in my parents home in Munyonyo, Kampala. It was a rainy day - it stopped raining an hour to the beginning of the function. Here is the function in pictures....

| Looking humble - I did not know whether I was allowed to look straight at my fiance so I kept my eyes on the floor :) |
 |
| My senga (paternal aunt) identifies my fiance as the one I have chosen. She did all the talking on my behalf. |

Oh my goooooooodneeeeesssss You looked absolutely fantastically beautiful!!!!
This place is mind blowing. Even the tea they served was really fancy. It was the pyramid shaped tea bags. I heard this was one of Oprah's favorite items.
