Information gathered revealed that Nakamatte was baptized in church and given the name, Ruth, but she denounced it to adopt Namukasa. Buyondo was the first to enter the shrine which was filled by a number of traditional healers and their followers from across the country.

She arrived at the shrine dressed in a wedding gown which she later replaced with a backcloth dress. Unlike the past where traditional healers where known to be operating in darkness, this time they did everything in broad day light. They also had recorded music and melodious singers who performed music interludes of the tunes praising the African culture.

The pair made the marriage vows; a service led by Kabona Jjumba, whereby the vows were for good and for worse. In the vow, Buyondo was told never to think of marrying another wife before discussing it with his wife and getting a go ahead from.

However, Nakaweesi vowed to stay with only Buyondo as her husband until death does them apart.
