Enock Isingoma Kaliisa lost his wife to Hepatitis B in 2012 and he could not stand the loneliness. Enock later found love in Mildred Kyakyo and they wedded recently. Their tuktuk ride video went viral on social media.\"\"<\/p>\n

Enock Isingoma Kaliisa, 56, on October 16, wedded Mildred Kyakyo, 38 at Kasiina SDA Church in Kyenjojo District in a function that has gone viral on social media. Enock lost his wife (Mildred\u2019s sister) to Hepatitis B in 2012. The three were living together. Enock and his first wife were survived by four children.<\/p>\n

\n

The duo had been staying together since 2005.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cAfter my first wife\u2019s death I could not run the family singlehandedly,\u201d he recalls adding that a few months later, he proposed to Mildred because they knew each other since they had been living in the same home for years.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cInitially, I had no interest in her but she used do well with the children and they loved her so much. I fell in love with her after her sister\u2019s death. And, since Mildred knew my circumstances, she just accepted me,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mildred, says on her part it was difficult because death was sudden and Enock\u2019s proposal came as a surprise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIn 2005, my late sister took me in and was neither badly behaved nor showed any interest in me, but his proposal caught me off-guard,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mildred says, when her parents learnt of their relationship, they were happy because they knew what had transpired.\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWhen he proposed, I asked him to first give it time because I needed to process it. We now have three children,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Enock says after she accepted his marriage proposal Mildred only went home until September when they were going for a wedding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe stayed together for all these years, her parents were aware of our relationship and I visited their home at different functions,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The first visit<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

At their church, in September, they announced a mass wedding and Enock picked interest but never disclosed it to Mildred because he wanted to surprise her.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She says Enock always joked about how he wanted to wed her but she thought it would never come to pass due to financial demands. \"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI was aware of the mass wedding but did not think we would be part of that event. I felt that he had not introduced me and so, we could not wed,\u201d she recollects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After raising some money in September, Enock sent her home to inform her parents that he wanted to visit them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI wanted to surprise her, she did not know that we are going for introduction, on September 13, with a team of four, I went to her home. I had Shs3m.My first born acted as my father, my young brother as best man, and one of our friends, an aunt,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

His in-laws had given him a budget of Shs4.5m for introduction and he managed to pay Shs3m. Thereafter, he was given a consent letter to proceed with the wedding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cMy father in-law did not like the way I organised our introduction. He told me that it was abrupt because he would have preferred a bigger function. All I wanted was to wed my wife because I was missing some sacraments in church,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mildred was surprised to see her father hand them a consent letter because her parents had proposed that they hold their introduction the following year in February. Click to read more\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
