When I saw her, my heart skipped a beat. She was helpful. Although I was not able to get the file immediately, I asked for her contact.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rose: <\/strong>I had promised to call him back when I got the file but he returned before the call. I looked for it but innocently because I did not know his intention. He came to my office several times just to say hello.<\/p>\n<p>Several months later, he called to seek my permission to send me a text message and I accepted because several people asked to send me texts of the file details they needed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When did you become close?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Rose: <\/strong>The text read, \u201cMy heart beats for you alone.\u201d I thought it was a wrong number but he called again to confirm if I had received the message. I needed time to think about him so I thought I would answer after five months but I felt sorry about the way he frequently called to follow up. Finally, we agreed to meet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>George: <\/strong>I asked her out on a public holiday March 8, 2017 and while on the way, we did not talk too much because we are both reserved. I however made my intentions clear. I had not dated before but was sure I wanted to marry her. <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12594\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mywedding.co.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/B30A9366.JPG.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mywedding.co.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/B30A9366.JPG.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mywedding.co.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/B30A9366.JPG-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mywedding.co.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/B30A9366.JPG-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mywedding.co.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/B30A9366.JPG-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you go about it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>George: <\/strong>On our second date, I asked her to skip church and this time we were free and talked at length. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monitor.co.ug\/uganda\/lifestyle\/heart-to-heart\/at-some-point-i-realised-i-was-marrying-george-and-not-religion-4192710\">Click to read more&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Beatrice Nakibuuka George Kamuremere, a lawyer met Rose Namanya, a journalist in September 2016 at Land Division Court in Nakawa.
