In a dazzling display of regal splendor, the Kyabazinga of Busoga, His Royal Highness Nadiope IV, exchanged vows with Jovia Mutesi, who is now officially known as Inhebantu (Queen), at the majestic Christ Cathedral Bugembe. The grandeur of the event, marked by the chariot, blue royal robes, a fleet of posh cars, angelic choir voices, warm smiles, glittering decor, and an overwhelming atmosphere of joy, was a sight to behold.
The anticipated ceremony, however, faced a few hiccups as it began slightly behind schedule. The two royal convoys, carrying the Kyabazinga and his bride, took their time to navigate the bustling streets. Nevertheless, the ambitious project did not dampen the spirits of the subjects eagerly awaiting their King.
Kyabazinga Nadiope IV, adorned in the Blue-Gold royal outfit embellished with Busoga regalia, showcased his signature channel-O beard as he patiently waited for his bride. Meanwhile, Jovia Mutesi's convoy encountered some challenges in maneuvering through traffic, creating a momentary delay.
As the clock ticked towards the stipulated time of 11:00 am, Archbishop Stephen Kazimba Mugalu, fresh from officiating President Museveni's vow renewal, took charge of the liturgical events. The ceremony, a rare spectacle not witnessed in the last 50 years, was overseen by none other than Janet Museveni.
The atmosphere was filled with both anticipation and potential disruption, especially with the looming presence of Alison Nadiope, who claimed to be the Kyabazinga's officially wedded wife. However, when Archbishop Kazimba called for anyone with objections to speak up, a hushed silence fell over the tent, ensuring an uninterrupted exchange of vows and rings.
The thousands of guests in attendance erupted into applause when the Queen, who had been absent from the public eye for over a month since the engagement announcement, made her grand entrance into Bugembe, setting the stage for the joyous celebration.
The newlyweds, now officially known as Isebantu and Inhebantu, respectively, are currently hosting a reception at Igenge Palace in Bugembe. The long-anticipated union of Kyabazinga Nadiope IV has brought immense joy to Busoga, marking the end of his bachelorhood since ascending to the throne. The royal wedding will undoubtedly be etched in the memories of the people, not only for its majestic display but for the love and unity it symbolizes for the Busoga kingdom.
