It was quickly becoming more
and more likely that Alison Anna Gabula, a lady claiming to be the King's wife,
would ruin the wedding.
A tense moment was captured by
Pastor Joseph Serwadda, one of the invited guests, when the church leadership
urged those against the King's wedding to "speak now, or forever hold your
piece."
Before the wedding, there were
rumors going around that Alison was going to turn up at the church
unexpectedly, according to Pastor Sserwadda, the leader of the Born Again Pentecostal
Churches in Uganda.
"I was informed that the
woman would arrive before I arrived. When Sserwadda appeared on a televised
discussion show on Sunday morning, he declared, "I went ready."
"I had a great view of
the bride and groom and was positioned strategically facing the pulpit with my
phone on alert." If it came to it, I would have recorded every second of
it.
"It was a very tense
moment for every one...the Archbishop asked the question in three different
languages, and we all waited."
According to the wedding
custom, the major celebrants, lead by Archbishop Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu,
called on everyone who had a legitimate reason why the Kyabazinga and Inhebantu
Jovia Mutesi shouldn't be joined in holy matrimony to come forward and voice
their opinion on three separate times.
