A California Love Story Celebrated In Destination Uganda
Anthony and Tina’s destination Uganda wedding was an elegant, romantic, whimsical, classy lockdown wedding.
It was a mixture of culture and modern exotic trend from Ethiopian attire of the groom Anthony Malone heritage to the Buganda traditional heritage for the bride Nsubuga Tina.
It was a lockdown wedding where SOPs had to be in place of social distancing on tables, masking and sanitising
LOVE STORY
Anthony Malone and Tina Emily Nsubuga was one of a kind match, they met at a coffee shop, while she was buying coffee then he came and asked her for the date and he told her that he had seen her there before.
By that time Tina was rushing to work she really didn’t have time, she even never asked for his number but she just requested him that they could meet in the same place the next day. Unfortunately, he didn’t turn up for the appointment the next day so she just got her coffee and left.
As fate would have it three months later, she passed by the same coffee shop to get what to eat after work and there he was, he apologized for the past disappointment that it was not intentional and he had actually over slept by the time he woke up it was too late for their planned date.
They ended up having their first date that same day and rest is history. Listening to this amazing love story we went ahead with incorporating this in their wedding by choosing small cute coffee bags as their wedding gift favors for their guests to commemorate the start of their love story.
