In a fit of panic, he asked the church\u2019s administrator, with whom she worked closely, to seek her help with the pastor\u2019s anniversary luncheon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align--justify\">She returned but in more casual clothes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align--justify\">Nitusiima was uncomfortable about how their photographs would turn out.<\/p>\n<section class=\"ad noprint\">\n<div class=\"ad\">Nonetheless, he kept at his job, interpreting for Pastor Kiwewesi at the luncheon. Afterwards, Kiwewesi said his interpreter had something to say.<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"align--justify\">Nitusiima went on to tell his love story.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align--justify\">\u201cI have been to South Africa, Rwanda, Israel, Ethiopia and I have lived in Uganda where all the women are beautiful and intelligent. However, there was a beauty and intelligence I was looking for that I found in this girl,\u201d he narrated as he moved through the auditorium. He then stopped in front of Prossy, who was seated in a corner, went on his knees and asked for her hand in marriage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align--justify\">\u201cShe was trembling so she hid in my jacket. She said yes and 10 months later, I put a ring on it at Kansanga Miracle Centre,\u201d he recollects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align--justify\">\u201cI will never forget that day. It was and is the happiest day of my life! I did not expect that he would propose to me not because I was not confident of his love, but it came as a surprise,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align--justify\">He is a deacon and music director of Kansanga Miracle Centre as well as a show host on Rest Television and on Bob FM.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align--justify\">She is one of the administrators in the church. The couple have a daughter and two sons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align--justify\"><strong>Initial meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"align--justify\">\u201cThe first time I met my husband was during my Senior Six vacation. I had seen him several times ministering in church and I felt like \u2018this guy has an amazing voice\u2019. I actually fell in love with his voice before I fell in love with him,\u201d she recalls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align--justify\">She joined the church ministry because a friend had asked her. She met Nitusiima and he told her about the rehearsal programme.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align--justify\">She showed up on time the next day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align--justify\">\u201cThe moment I saw him, I thought to myself this is my \u2018future husband\u2019,\u201d she reveals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"align--justify\">They became friends, the kind who cared for each other.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.monitor.co.ug\/uganda\/lifestyle\/heart-to-heart\/my-love-for-him-has-not-changed-one-bit-3508776\"> Click to read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Edgar R Batte On June 30, 2013 Bryan Nitusiima bought clothes and shoes for Prossy.
