Ronnie McVex Musiimenta met Patience Mbabazi at Uganda Martyrs University,\u00a0 Nkozi in 2014. She was the students\u2019 minister for culture.<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Musiimenta, whose name, when loosely translated from the local Runyankole dialect means \u2018How can I praise Him\u2019 was slated to perform at the university\u2019s Cultural Week grand finale.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had never met. She got my contact trying to find out how far I had reached because I was getting very late. Upon arrival, her first statement was, \u2018I am disappointed,\u201d Musiimenta says.<\/p>\n

\u201cI looked at this very beautiful but tough lady and deep in my heart I said \u2018You are appointed\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

He went on and wowed the crowd with his performance, and won her over, with his personality.<\/p>\n

They kept in touch and before he knew it, they started dating.<\/p>\n

God above all\"\"<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Throughout their seven-year relationship, the power couple says their belief in God has been key.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cGod is everything for us. And because God is love, love is everything we lean onto,\u201d Musiimenta says, adding that they respect each other, but above all, they communicate.<\/p>\n

The radio presenter adds that Mbabazi has been patient with him, believes in him, and always encourages him by telling him how much of a genius he is at what he does.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is basically my greatest fan and cheerleader. I am so much assured that even if I was from a different country, it still would be her because God predestined that it would be her to make me complete. She is surely my lost rib,\u201d he gushes.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Mbabazi says that the first thing that got her so close to Musiimenta is his love for God. Besides that, he is also a great worshiper and she believes he is the most multi-talented performer in Uganda.<\/p>\n

\u201cRonnie is so loving and he is such great hype. There are never dull moments when he is around. There is more than enough. For us, being able to live life together, love each other and laugh through it all, is our greatest achievement. All the other things such as money, properties and so on are vanity but our love is a story for eternity,\u201d Mbabazi narrates. \u201cHe is the man I would choose again and again. I have said it before and that will never change. He is everything I prayed for in a husband.\u201d<\/p>\n

The wedding\/reception\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

And so she chose him on May 22, 2021 at All Saints Church Nakasero. The vows were presided over by Rt Rev Johnson Twinomujuni, Bishop of West Ankole Diocese.<\/p>\n

At the reception held at Hilltop, Naguru,\u00a0 the couple wanted an open space where they would have the liberty to transform\u00a0 it into what they envisaged for their beautiful wedding; all their 250 invited guests showed up.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a wedding that we hoped would bring glory to our God. It was a beautiful and colourful wedding and we are still so excited we pulled it off,\u201d Musiimenta, says.<\/p>\n

Luckily everyone ate and drunk.<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess that day we provided supper to some single guys,\u201d Musiimenta muses.<\/p>\n

Their seven-year relationship is blessed with a son, Ethen Musiimenta, who the comedian refers to as a wonderful, highly favoured and blessed boy but doesn\u2019t rule out others who are under manufacturing by the grace of God.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The trials\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n
