Miracle Centre Cathedral in Rubaga was on Thursday filled with love as 200 couples in their different ages waited for the church to initiate them into Holy Matrimony.
The wedding whose theme was 77 Days of Glory(77 DOGs) wedding was such a colorful event that the church has never witnessed in its premises.
By 8:00am, the church premises was a centre of mixed activities as brides and their grooms sauntered into the church premises draped in their different wedding gowns and different shades of suits anxious to publicly announce their intention to live together until death separates them.
Unlike the normal weddings where couples decorate saloon Mercedes Benzes to transport them from the saloon to church and later the wedding reception venue, this time, the church organized five flat-bed Mercedes Benz trailers which were decorated to transport the brides from the Church premises to the Church gardens—a distance of about one kilometre led by a Police escort car and the brides guarded by the armed counter terrorism Police.

As Pastor Kayanja and his wife Jessica Kayanja opened the event at around midday, the blazing scotching sun, inadvertently tested the romantic side of the couples. Whereas some of the grooms went an extra mile of shielding their brides from the hot sunrays, others just sat seemingly not caring whether this was a special day in their lives.

One thing that was certain for all the 200 couples who were each allowed to come with a best man, matron and two relatives, was that all of them had cakes on their tables to cut at the end of the day and according to Pastor Kayanja, this is probably the largest mass wedding in history because the one in Canaan, had only 141 couples wedding.
