He noted, however, that he cannot count the number of cakes he has eaten during the 42 years he has spent in marriage.
KAMPALA - While presiding over the first mass wedding ceremony at All Saints Cathedral, Kampala, Stanley Ntagali, the Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, amused the congregation when he told them that he never cut a cake at his wedding.
He noted, however, that he cannot count the number of cakes he has eaten during the 42 years he has spent in marriage.
"It is not what you see, it the love the person has for you that matters. These days' marriages are breaking because people are not marrying for love but for convenience. Marry the person you love, the riches will come. A family that prays together stays together," said Ntagali.
Ntagali added that when he was still in Masindi Diocese, he realized that many people feared to get married because of costly wedding parties.
"Stop making excuses that you do not have millions of money to entertain your guests at the reception, a reception is a luxury. If the two of you agree, get your parents blessings and come to church for blessings. The church is the most important thing, not a reception," he said.
Ntagali advised women to always welcome visitors in their homes and also to love their co-wives' children.
