Our Story

We met somewhere ordinary, and fell for each other somewhere quietly extraordinary. Two nature lovers, two families, two countries, one long unfolding story.

I.

How we met

Replace with the story of your first meeting: the place, the introduction, the detail neither of you forgets.

II.

Two families

A line about meeting each other's families. In both Rwandan and Ugandan tradition, a marriage is a joining of families as much as two people.

III.

The proposal

Tell guests how, where, and the moment you both said yes. A few warm sentences are plenty here.
