A note for our loved ones

Thank you!

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience while we attempt to plan our wedding during the COVID 19 pandemic. We hope that all of our loved ones will be able to travel and celebrate our union.

How we met

June 3, 2019

At the time they were both on vacation, she was in Cartagena and he was in Kampala. A mutual friend, Ochi, messaged Rahwa saying "I think I found your match"... "he just added you on IG." As soon as she read his message she got a notification on IG from Yosef. One conversation led to another leading to the exchange of phone numbers, endless conversations and numerous plane tickets across the world.....

The Proposal

They were laid out on a beach towel, looking up at the stars planning their future. After about 4 hours at the beach and Rahwa's flight being the next day, they decided to pack up and head home around 12:30am, they walked over to the water, put their feet in and turned back to the sand. While she packed up their things, he got down on one knee. When she turned around there he was on one knee, at Kite beach, box opened, ring inside. He said "be my equal, marry me" she said "are you forreal! Stop it! Who am I? Ask me again." She finally managed to gather her thoughts and say "yes!"

For all the days along the way
