- Episode sealed: Benard Byamukama and Esther Kalemwa met at a youth conference at their church. Their meeting was the beginning of love although it took them four years to date. The couple spoke more with Phoebe Masongole.
Bernard Byamukama and Esther Kalemwa were church mates and part of organisers of youth conference that was scheduled to take place in December 2017 at Kingdom of Grace Believers Church-Kijungu in Hoima City.
Meeting
The two attended the conference but little did they know that it was going to be the start of their love life.
“We saw each other, interacted but that particular time was a normal interaction about conference issues nothing much,” Byamukama says.
“I did not feel anything for her apart from being a friend. But to my wife, she recently opened up to me that that particular day she saw love in my eyes but could not do anything,” he adds.
And for four years, they remained friends until October 2021 during Covid-19 lockdown when they started dating.
“Social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook and phone calls were our major mode of communication because I was in Kampala and Bernard in Hoima,” she says.
The lovebirds attribute their purity in courtship to their parents.
“The love of my mother-in-law-to-be was beyond my expectation. This was after she had realised that we were planning for something better ahead. Also, the care of my sweetheart Essie was just a new experience for me,” he recalls. Click to read more…
