Uganda’s power couple, singer Eddy Kenzo and state minister of energy and mineral development Phiona Nyamutoro, are set to make their union official in a grand traditional marriage ceremony slated to take place in the ancestral home of the youthful minister in West Nile, Nebbi district.

Eddy Kenzo was officially welcomed to Minister Nyamutoro’s home on Saturday, June 29 2024. For starters, Nyamutoro hails from the Alur tribe, known for their rich cultural heritage and distinct marriage rituals that celebrate marriage as a community function that needs no specific invitation to grace.

Among the common elements in the Alur marriage ceremony are the following:

Introduction and Proposal known as ‘Anena’

The marriage process often begins with an introduction where the groom’s family visits the bride’s family to express their interest in marriage.
