Chaotic Wedding in Masaka, Uganda - E-book - ePub

Dr. Musa, as chair, had expected all committee members to gather at 8 am but only a handful was available at 9 am and yet the wedding was scheduled for 12 noon; most of them were nursing hangovers from the bachelor's party. The bride had not been taken to the beauty salon. The decorator had been provided the wrong table clothes. Then, Dr. Musa was let in on the secret that the groom and best man had spent the night with the Twins-two single ladies infamous for trapping men.
Dr. Musa struggled to confine this secret while he sent a member of the committee to extract the groom and best man from the Twins' place. After sending another committee member to pick up the bride, Dr. Musa needed money to pay for the bride's salon and for a van to pick up the bride's relatives. However, when the treasurer finally turned up, he informed Dr. Musa that the wedding had no money left.
Then Dr. Musa learned that the bride was being beautified by, off all people, the Twins at their salon. The Twins were doing that work on credit and they also provided the correct table clothes to the decorator for free. Despite his anger with the Twins, for what they had done the night before, he was beginning to like them. At 11: 30 am when he realized that the bride had not arrived at the venue, Dr.
Musa requested the priest that the wedding be moved to 2:00 pm. The priest assured him that, no matter the chaos, the groom will marry the bride that day. At 3:30 pm the Twins turned up with the bride as it started to rain heavily and the groom married his bride as the guests waded in ponds of water from their cars to the church. Despite his hatred for the Twins, Dr. Musa invited them for the wedding after-party trusting that they would not be disreputable like at the bachelor's party.
Unfortunately, following the after-party the Twins did their thing again-they took off with the best man and another man.
