Man loses wallet, six years later he weds lady who paid his taxi fare (Photos)
On November 9, 2019, 28-year-old business lady, Annet Nakabonye, introduced 30-year-old brand manager at Uber, Isaac Jacob Luwo, to her friends and family in a kwanjula ceremony.
Luwo and Nakabonye first met in July 2012 in a taxi. Apparently, Luwo had forgotten his wallet at home and the conductor kept harassing him thinking he intended not to pay for his fares.
“I had no single coin on me but to my surprise, a lady in the taxi offered to pay for my journey,” Luwo narrates.
Nakabonye’s compassion surprised Luwo so he decided to ask for her number. The two connected and kept close but stayed friends for over two years.
In 2014, Luwo felt he and Nakabonye had more than a friendship connection so he decided to pour out his feelings to her. Unfortunately, Nakabonye declined his proposal.
“However much she didn’t want to be my girlfriend, I didn’t lose hope. We remained friends for about six months, until I brought it up again,” Luwo explains.
“She told me she had to first pray about it and also talk to her pastor about the entire situation.”
Time went by without any progress until October 2016 when Nakabonye threw Luwo a surprise birthday party.
The two shared a special moment and that day, she accepted to be his girlfriend.
The good news, however, came with some conditions, “Although she had accepted to be in a relationship with me, she suggested that we couldn’t get married until she was done with school, a condition I welcomed and agreed to.”
Towards the end of 2017, the two decided to meet each other’s parents and let them know about their intention to wed.”
On August 20, 2018, Luwo and 15 of his family members and friends went for a kukyala ceremony at Nakabonye’s aunt’s home in Buvuma.
A date for the introduction ceremony was set and on November 9, 2019, Luwo was officially introduced by Nakabonye at her parent’s home in Kayunga.
