Contrary to the belief that Christians are bereft of romance, couples do fall in love\u00a0 in church all the time.<\/p>\n

That is the glue that holds Leticia and Walter Kabuye together. Meeting at Prophet Elvis Mbonye ministries\u2019 Zoe grounds on September 1, 2018, the two had always seen each other but that day was quite different.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen, I had seen Leticia around and we mainly exchanged pleasantries save for the day I asked to talk to her.\u00a0 On agreeing, she hugged me, making me feel a certain kind of peace in my heart. I then took note of where she and her friends sit at fellowship, besides learning that she is so jolly and very free spirited,\u201d says Walter.<\/p>\n

On that day, Honour Day as Mbonye\u2019s followers call it, Walter looked for Leticia.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we exchanged greetings, she hugged me and I felt the same peace as from before. I then asked for her number, took a picture of her and left. I called her that night and we talked for close to two hours. I also called her in the morning and asked if we could have a meal together to which she agreed. It was here that we shared our personal experiences on several other things,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

The days thereafter were filled with constant texting and before long, they were great friends who talked and laughed about anything.<\/p>\n

Six months later, Walter asked Leticia to a date and during the date he saw a spark in her eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven before we went for the date, she said if it did not work out we could still remain great friends. That said she was very smartly dressed and happy and the joy caught my attention. I literally loved everything about her that day but what really stood out was her smile and hug. To ascertain that the happiness was not circumstantial, I decided to stalk her,\u201d he shares.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Leticia was drawn to his artistic work and the way he hugged her the very first time they met each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was different,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Sold out to loving her, Walter was set to make every affair of their life count thus going all out on the proposal inasmuch as he had a photo shoot to coordinate.<\/p>\n

Leticia says it happened on December 21, 2019, a day before the kukyala.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in town shopping for kukyala items and got home in Najjera at around 9pm. On getting there, our friends were in the compound and we shared pleasantries before I got into the house. I was joined by Josh, Walter\u2019s best friend with whom we talked about life; spiritual and financial topics for the next hour or so. I later learnt that this was to buy time though I started calling Walter at 9:30pm because I needed to head to my parents\u2019 home,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

She later told Josh that she needed to leave and would call Walter later and explain.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Josh would not let me go even when I told him I needed to pick my clothes off the line. All this while they were setting up and I had no idea,\u201d she say.<\/p>\n

Then at 10pm Walter called her.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said, \u2018My queen, come and open the gate, I am back\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Upon opening the gate, she saw candles, roses, happy smiles from their friends and the videographer capturing every moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI screamed a lot, and ran back into the house in disbelief,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn returning, Josh kept pushing me towards Walter who was on one knee with a ring in his hands. After a few minutes, I said, \u201cYes\u201d, we hugged and then we went to Nexus bar to celebrate the proposal,\u201d she shares excitedly.<\/p>\n

Leticia adds that he did beyond what she expected; giving her what she wanted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would not have asked for any other proposal setup. It was simple and unique and that is who we are; we love simplicity but excellent things. Walking out of the house and finding Walter on one knee with friends around was everything,\u201d she says with a smile.<\/p>\n

Walter says the most expensive item of the proposal was the engagement ring, which cost him Shs1.25m but the most beautiful thing was the bouquet of thousands of roses.\u00a0 Click to read more…<\/a><\/p>\n
