Grace Massa, an economist and system administrator at Bugisu Cooperative Union, and the love of his life Vicky, held their Kukyala, Kwanjula and church wedding, in a space of a month among each other. Grace shares how his clergy-man father encouraged him to make the challenging feat happen.
“We first met in 2015 at Mbale School of Nursing and Midwifery grounds during a football match, organized between the Nursing students and the neighboring community.” Grace says of their first encounter.
“I spotted Vicky while on the pitch and fell in love with her at first sight. Getting in contact with her felt impossible since I had no one to connect me to her, but after this moment my heart never remained the same. Memories of her stayed with me for a whole year.”
But just like any relationship written in the stars, Grace would meet Vicky again a year later,
“I met her again a year later in Bududa after a church service in one of the local churches where my dad was a vicar. I immediately approached her and asked whether she was a resident or had visited a relative since it was around Christmas.
