"Does anyone of you have a plan that would actually work with African girls? These ones you ask 'who wants to go for a drink this weekend?" All of them come. The talkative one won't let you have a min with the one you like.'

"Nice. I did something similar with my church small group, but I made the time like 7 am “for parking” because I knew the only person who’d actually show up was the girl I actually wanted to spend time with. (Our 4th wedding anniversary is next month.)"

Well, if you have then you will understand some things you expected the least, may be the same things that can give you all your desired happiness.

So, is the story of how the love between a Ugandan man named Aaron Musoba and his boo Beatrice Nambi was initiated and brewed, leading to marriage. It all started with Aaron using his sister's wedding photo as his WhatsApp profile photo.

As fate would have it, he was randomly added to a WhatsApp group where he kept entertaining members with a daily devotion. He did this for a while until it came to Beatrice's attention in 2016, when she duly thought it wise to reach out to Aaron to thank him for tirelessly sharing devotions.
