Emmanuel & Evelyn

“My name is Jemima Mugume, daughter to James and Lorna Magara, and wife to Roy Jonathan Mugume. Eva is the definition of my sister from another mother and one of my best friends! We’ve grown up in each others homes from birth, and our parents have been close friends since high school. Fun fact: Aunty Florence (Eva’s mom) was me and my sibling’s paediatrician growing up! So we’ve really been in each others lives from the jump. It’s amazing to know that this will be a multigenerational friendship! Family ties for life.”

Rachael Kitabire aka Rae, Rae Rae, Rayberry lol is the bride’s eldest sister. She is an author & poet based in Kampala, Uganda. Her first poetry book
Sunrise On The Nile is out now!!

“I met Eva when I was 8 years old. She quickly became the best littlest sister ever! 🌸 Her beauty, confidence, elegance & intelligent wit make her presence extra special. My favorite memories are getting facials in your beauty studio, getting our nails done together, eating out & growing up around the world with you. I am extremely proud of you and all you have accomplished. I am looking forward to being a part of your I~do crew & celebrating you & Imma on your wedding day! Congrats on this amazing milestone! Wish you both the best journey ahead!🥳🤗”

Hi Im Esther, one of Evas older sister(the taller one 🙃) aka the OG Day One and im so grateful to call her both my sister and my friend.

We have literally been through it together – from sharing a room as kids to exploring various different countries we grew up in as teens in to going wedding dress shopping(with of course me tearing up) these last few months!

Eva is one of the most radiant souls i know and her commitment to a lifestyle of beauty, fun and destiny brings such light and excitement to our lives. As the social butterfly of our family, shes continually inviting us to make memories of fun and humor and i’m so glad she had found her purpose partner in Immanuel as they build a life of connection, purpose and flourishing.

Seeing the couples love story culminate in the beautiful institution of marriage fills our entire family with great joy and it is our everlasting prayer that God will keep leading you deeper into His purpose for you,both individually and in union, as you light up each others life, and then of course, the world.

”We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it!“
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬ ‭TPT

I met Imma before I met Eva. One of the first things he said to me was, “I’m marrying this girl called Eva.” This was a good 7+ years ago. I remember thinking who is Eva? Where is Eva? Later on, I met Eva at Brunch and after discovering that we look a little alike, it was unbeknownst to me that this was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

We definitely enjoyed our time in London together which really solidified our friendship. I honestly can’t imagine my life without Eva now. She’s been my rock ever since we both moved back to Uganda around the same time (twins fr). From Bugolobi to Imperial Wharf and back again, we have enjoyed years of love and laughter. Eva is one of the most resilient, smart, ambitious and genuinely caring people I have ever met.

Eva and Imma were actually among the first people to meet my son after I gave birth and I cherish that forever. I’m honoured to be a part of the bridal squad and wish Eva & Imma a lifetime of happiness. You deserve it, sis!

Eva was a friend even before we officially became friends. We shared mutual besties, so it was only a matter of time before our paths crossed. Our reciprocal ease and shared laughter ignited an instant connection. From tea tastings turned Buju concerts, to Friendsgiving microwave disasters, we’ve shared countless adventures filled with laughter and pure love. Eva has an infectious spirit and genuine warmth, making her a beacon of positivity in all settings. As I reflect on our journey together, it’s clear that Imma and Eva embody the essence of true love and friendship – loving, loyal, caring, and always ready for an adventure. So, let’s raise a glass to the gorgeous couple and the radiant presence I’m honoured to have by Evelyn’s side on her wedding day!

I’ve known Eva for EVA! I think the first time we met was in primary school at the age of 8 and we have moved across the world together from Uganda to Kenya, to Southern Africa, the UK and now back home. During these 20-something years, we’ve shared countless memories.
Evelyn is a friend who’s always there and down for a good time. I can literally call her anytime and she’ll be out! but at the same time graciously listen to you complain about the same things over and over ❤.
I remember being age 13/14 and Eva always had the latest music on her iPod shuffle, already knew how to put on make-up, and dressed up so well and I was like “ eh, she is such a cool chick” and she still is!
We’ve shared so many milestones together and I’m so glad I get to be there for this one.
Wishing you God’s blessing in your marriage.

Love you
Ps- Imma you scored BIG time, you better take care of her (as you can see I am the protective friend😂 )

“I’ve known Eva since 2009 when dress tops and tights were a thing lol. When I look back on some of my happiest memories and milestones over the past couple of years, Eva has been present in almost every single one, either physically with me or as a support system that was always a phone call away. 15 years of friendship and throughout that time, she’s been the greatest friend, sister and a blessing in my life.

Eva is a go-getter, prayer warrior, my partner in crime (street name: light and lighter lol), a vibe facilitator (fun fact: you can always trust her on an aux to play the best songs. She’s still saved as “Aunty Shazam” on my phone) and one of the most genuine people you’ll ever meet. Everyone who has interacted with her undoubtedly knows this about her because she brings the same energy, love and light to all her relationships. Eva, I’m beyond honoured and excited to stand beside you as you step into the next chapter of your life.💛

Congratulations to the happy couple.🥂
Your union is truly a match made in heaven & I pray this new chapter of your life brings you both an abundance of joy and blessings. Love and appreciate you both and I can’t wait to celebrate the high school sweethearts.

Love,
Melissa Munyaneza”

Hello, my name is Kayler, I am born & raised Ugandan & I love chapatti. I work as a provincial program manager for a STEM youth organization in Halifax, Canada where I reside. I had the pleasure of first meeting Eva in 2017 at a friend’s trip to Fort Portal that Jemima organized. We remained mutuals from then and it wasn’t till 2022 when Eva and I’s relationship really blossomed. We both coincidentally were newly settling back in Kampala at the time. Her & I keep saying till date that it feels like we have been friends in another lifetime. When we connected, we clicked in a lot of ways. Our personalities aligned well, similar interests, great energy, shared love for God, workout buddies etc. Eva has truly been such a light, love and warmth in my life. I thank & bless the lord for who she is, for her friendship and sisterhood to me. My heart is full knowing she is marrying the absolute love of her life. I adore Eva & Imma’s relationship. I feel blessed to witness & be a part of the celebrations for their union with you all.

“I’ve known Evelyn since our days of innocence in primary school at Rainbow School, where our paths first crossed, and our journey together continued to the halls of St. Andrew’s School Turi – where I must confess, in St. Andrew’s, I thought of Eva as the really cool dancing queen.

Over the years, Eva and I have shared countless adventures, laughter, tears, and moments of joy. From navigating university life in the UK to braving the waters of adulthood, Eva is more than a friend; she’s become a sister to me. Her warmth, intelligence, and inspiring nature have been a constant source of strength to all of us, not to mention her talent for curating the most amazing music playlists.

I’m grateful to have witnessed the blossoming love between Eva and Immanuel over the years, seeing their relationship strengthen and grow into something truly beautiful. As Eva and Imma embark on this new chapter of their lives, I’m grateful and honoured to stand by her side and celebrate this beautiful union. Here’s to a love story that’s as timeless as a sonnet and as beautiful as a symphony!”

“I met Eva about 15 years ago when our rooms were right across from each other, which is crazy to think! You have always been such a radiant person, inside and out.

I’ve known Imma just as long, and I feel so lucky to have witnessed your journey together.

Eva, reconnecting in London was so special because, aside from being beautiful, you are hardworking and always there to give sound advice. You are so special to so many people, and I can’t wait to celebrate this special day with you!

I wish you both so much love and happiness as you embark on this chapter together!”

I first met Eva in primary school but it was only until we became roommates in high school that we really bonded – sometimes we were besties, and sometimes we fought teenage battles but at all times, we were sisters who had so much love for each other.

I vividly remember when Eva and Imma first struck up their friendship. Eva tried to play it cool, but it was impossible to miss the sheer excitement radiating from her. Her happiness was so palpable that, even then, I felt as if I could have predicted this very wedding.

Eva has the biggest heart, she’s a great listener and has the best energy – the kind of energy that will make this wedding so very unforgettable!
