This wedding was supposed to hold in April but because of the lockdown was postponed. Thank you everyone that showed up, participated, gave us money, and their time. Thank you (parents) for being there for me. I wasn’t expecting to see so many people. I thought the lockdown would affect some people’s movement and they won’t be able to come but up till now people are still arriving,” Mrs Marcathy Ramat said, adding that she is indebted to God, her parents, friends, and husband.
