It is not very often that one finds someone with whom they \u2018click\u2019 with on many fronts. Often times, many people are in a rush to \u2018put a ring on it\u2019 that they do not dig deeper to understand the person they are committing to spend their life with.<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\u2018Salongo\u2019 Samuel Eyangu and \u2018Nalongo\u2019 Prossy Akale Eyangu, on the other hand, seem to have hit the jackpot with one another.<\/p>\n

They were really into one another that Samuel proposed to her on phone.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cIt was during one of those calls in the evening as we were wrapping up our day when he asked, \u2018Will you marry me?\u2019 I do not think he had purposed to propose, but it came along as we talked,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith no prior idea that he was going to ask for my hand in marriage, there was no tingling feeling on hearing him say it. I guess I was indifferent at the moment hence able to tease him that I needed to see him face to face when he is saying the words. However, after some days, he was quite disturbed about something and I wanted to cheer him up, so I said, \u2018Yes I will marry you\u201d,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

Samuel says their proposal was one of the cheapest, because it did not involve many people, just the two of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe walked to Wandegeya, bought the engagement ring, prayed over it and that was it,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Prossy adds that she loves being her, never sold out to the copying and pasting movie things.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cLater, he came to apologise for not going down on one knee to give me the ring, and I told him, not to do things because others are doing them but to simply be himself. I love the fact that it was simple, unique, and down to earth,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Young students<\/strong><\/p>\n

The two met at Makerere University Business School (MUBS) in 2003.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were doing the same course; Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) and he majored in Accounting while I in Finance. As such, we sat together for the course units we shared, especially in second and third year,\u201d Prossy shared.<\/p>\n

She also led the Teso Students Development Association (TESDA) and Samuel was one of the ministers on Prossy\u2019s cabinet whom she says was quite different from most of the men she worked with.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was friendly, very honest, caring and genuine so we became friends with no strings attached throughout campus.<\/p>\n

Later on, I discovered he was also very bright with his name always appearing on the dean\u2019s list for outstanding performance. So I asked him to allow me join their discussion group. Thankfully, he accepted and introduced me to the rest of his friends who eventually became my friends. They were all good students and great company,\u201d she reminisces.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Samuel loved Prossy\u2019s character; genuine, kind hearted and focused while also God fearing. \u201cThese were the main things which drew me to her,\u201d he intimates. Click to read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
