Armliat and Brenda had been neighbours for a long time; sharing meals and often spending a lot of time together. With time, their friendship turned into romantic feelings for each other, making the journey into marriage easier.
When Armliat Aineamaani, a transmission technician and Brenda Chemashak, an administrator at St John’s Church in Kirinya, Wakiso District, met, all they needed was to start a friendship and be there for each other. However, over time, a deeper connection was formed.
“I had always wanted to marry someone who knew my weaknesses and loved me the way I am. Marrying a friend meant marrying someone who would not try to change anything about me,” says Brenda.
Knowing what she wanted and the pure love Brenda had for Armliat made him fall in love with her. He also loved her personality.
“Brenda is a friend I did not want to lose. She understood my character, cared for me and was the kind of woman I wanted for a wife,” Armliat says.

“I started noticing his love for me through the different things he would do for me and since we were both single, I was open to dating him,” Brenda shares. Click to read more…
