Sheena talks about her man in a recent interview  with a local tabliod

How did you two meet?

Sheena: I met him 11 years ago at a mutual friend’s wedding in Uganda. Both of us had come for summer holidays from London. My cousin attended the same school with him, but he and I had never met. Actually on arrival, I found him discussing with my sister then I asked her, “Who is this guy?” she replied, ‘He is Sakaria’. He came and sat in front of me and that’s how we met, it was quite a funny meeting.

And when did he drop the big question?

Sheena: Officially, he proposed to me in September, 2015 and I said yes.

Was he your Dream Husband?

Sheena: No! We just used to be friends and I could never imagine he would become my husband because I was still young to think of that. In fact my whole family — including my father, my mother — used to tease me and him. My brother even had a bet with people that we would get married. He became my friend and sometimes my enemy to the extent that we even stopped seeing each other for two years but there was always ‘Chemistry’.

Any burning expectations in marriage?

Sheena: My parents have always advised me that marriage is supposed to be more of friendship, offering support to each other. And as a young girl, I’m aware marriage will have some challenges but good enough I’m aware of that fact so I will always try to overcome them. I think marriage is all about understanding who you’re going to be with, being considerate to each other and supporting each other in all your aspirations and dreams. It’s also vital to comfort each other during bad times, among other aspects.
