It was love at first sight for Tabitha Nabuliba and Aziz Haruna who met at a mutual friend\u2019s wedding in Hoima in January 2012.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe moment I saw him, I jokingly said to myself, \u201cWow, he will be my husband.\u201d Since he was busy helping guests check into the hotel, the first encounter was just a quick hello,\u201d Tabitha says.<\/p>\n

Later in the day, feeling under the weather, Tabitha decided to leave early.\u00a0 However, a car had blocked hers and after the announcement for the owner to come and move it was made, Aziz appeared. \u201cI literally melted when I saw him,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

His first words to her were, \u201cWhy are you leaving so early?\u201d\u00a0 Looking at his handsome face, Tabitha froze, failing to answer. She also quickly jumped into her car and waited for him to get his car out of the way.<\/p>\n

To Aziz, this was rude. However, all Tabitha could think about that afternoon as she dosed off was his image in a kanzu and coat.<\/p>\n

Meeting again<\/strong><\/p>\n

They met again at the after-party and a smitten Tabitha went to the washroom several times, even without need, just to draw his attention. However, he seemed oblivious of her until she summoned courage to ask him for a dance.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe turned me down and it hurt so bad I could have cried.\u00a0 I decided to drown my pain by screaming and wildly dancing with my girlfriends,\u201d she says. Then, she felt a tap on her shoulder and on turning, it was Aziz. \u201cI was confused. The same person who had turned me down was now asking for a dance. Head or heart, the heart won once again and I danced,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
