Denying himself for God and for his sweetheart, David Muyimbwa accepted the challenge to wait three years to marry Barbara Valuvala upon her request. He prayed she wouldn’t meet another man that would take her away, but mostly, he asked God to help him not see another girl.
In 2014, a younger David had spotted beautiful Valuvala at St Nicholas Cathedral, Namungoona. He didn’t make a move up till 2018 when he approached and allowed himself to enjoy her principle and discipline. Valuvala’s family is one that emphasizes moral culture and religious code, and Valuvala’s character is evident of her upbringing. In fact, this is one of the things that keenly attract David to Valuvala every day.
