I'm heading for a wedding early morning tomorrow at around eight. I cannot remember it's Mac's brother's wedding or his brother's brother's wedding. Ugandans seem to have lots of family members, so it is usual for me not to member everyone I was introduced to. When a couple here wants to have their wedding ceremony, the first thing they need to do is to, two months prior to the ceremony, hold a meeting every week in which all their friends are invited to attend. During the meeting, all kinds of activities need to be presented in the aim of raising the money needed for the ceremony. I attended one of the meetings weeks ago and was since then too busy with other things in the community. The organiser of the meeting, a relative to the new couple, asked Mac several times about my whereabouts. In the end Mac plead 50 thousand shillings for me as my contribution. I told Mac that I would empty the bar tomorrow for my part of the contribution! When was assigned the job of setting the reception for the wedding tomorrow, I asked Mac for a possible change to the kitchen for which he firmly refused. Everyone knows my love for food, so no one ever put me anywhere near food when having such occasions.
Since it will be a formal occasion tomorrow, I have spent the past hour ironing a shirt and a jacket. I even washed my trousers just for tomorrow's occasion (In fact I need to wash them anyway since all my trousers have been dirty for days without me washing any of them)! I hope they will be dry on time! Otherwise....I don't even want to think about that now....
