Kampala – All Saints’ Cathedral, Kampala on Wednesday wedded 14 couples in a corporate wedding.
The mass wedding was presided over by the Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, Dr. Samuel Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu.
The Archbishop appreciated the couples, most of whom have been cohabiting, for choosing to put their marriages right before God on All Saints Day, a day observed by Christians on November 1st every year. 
“Marriage isn’t about a big party, it’s not about the food, it’s not about how much money has been raised, it’s about you and your wife…I have seen many people saying they are still gathering resources. Marriage is about two people,” said the Archbishop.
He further urged the couples to put God at the center of their marriages noting that it’s he alone that can fix them.
After the wedding, the newlyweds were hosted to a luncheon with their entourage at the Cathedral premises.
In Anglican faith, marriage (Holy Matrimony) is based upon a solemn, public, and life-long covenant between a man and a woman, declared and celebrated in the presence of God and before witnesses.
On their wedding day, the bride and
bridegroom face each other, make their promises, and receive God’s blessing.
The union between one man and woman goes back to the Garden of Eden. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” (Genesis 2:24, NKJV)
Marriage is also an invitation to share life in the spirit of Jesus Christ.
All Saints’ Cathedral, Kampala, is the seat for the Diocese of Kampala, which is one of the 38 dioceses that make up the Province of the Church of Uganda.
It is headed by the Bishop who is also the Archbishop of the church of Uganda, assisted by the Assistant Bishop, Provost, and a team of ordained and non-ordained ministers.
