Blessing the marriage, Jjumba made a call to the newlyweds to put God ahead of anything else and remain faithful to one another.

Among, who was the chief guest, thanked the parents of the newlyweds for nurturing and aligning their children with the norms, values, and cultures of the African society that respects the sanctity of marriage.

She advised the young couple to build their marriage on true love and friendship.

"You are coming from different backgrounds and this comes with different values and attitudes. Make sure you get a mutual ground to live happily together. Be best friends if you are to have an eternal relationship," Among said.

Among advised the bride to respect her new family and remain submissive to her husband.

"Sonia, as you go into the new family, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are now your father and mother in love," she said. 

The Speaker added, "Be a good wife, respect your husband. For me after chairing the House, I run home to cook for Mr. Magogo. When I am home, I am a wife and when I am at Parliament, I am a Speaker."

She gifted the couple with 10 head of cattle and wished them a blissful marriage.
