THIS author will be celebrating her birthday tomorrow, to my birth mates, have a lovely celebration and to the generation coming in tomorrow you are most welcome and you have come in at the right time.
Grateful that the Lord has added another year to my life, whether wrinkles have started showing, it does not matter all I am happy about is that I am getting wiser and wiser. Bigger and better things are still to happen.
Many people think babies cry at birth because they are entering in a world full of problems. I believe they cry because they feel pity for all adults who have failed to see and seize plenty opportunities despite being on earth for a long time.
Green and orange have become popular among brides and grooms to an extent that guests have become familiar to such themes.
On May, 2 2015, a breakthrough finally took place in Kitwe when Josephat Kalezhyi and Sheila Komba Chimuka wedded.
Sheila is a granddaughter to Times of Zambia Director of Human Resources Getrude Kabezia, while Dr Kalezhyi is Information Technology lecturer at the Copperbelt University in Kitwe.
The couple legally said the “I dos” after exchanging vows at Kitwe Civic Centre, they looked gorgeous.
There was no better colour for the couple than gold, matched with yellow and white.
• THE line up came in a unique attire
Came reception time, the guests were treated to a beautiful gold, yellow, black and white décor that transformed Moba Hotel into a venue one would not want to leave. The décor created a mood of elegance, relaxation and enjoyment of life.
Gold is a colour which symbolises wealth, success and good health. The bride and groom chose gold as their main colour because they are wise and powerful.
They went for gold in order to make their guests relaxed and valued in their company. Guest list was non- negotiable, 150 people were invited.
This new union called for celebration and at 18:30 hours everyone gathered at the reception venue, the Master of Ceremonies (MC) ready to tirelessly entertain guests until at the end of the function.
Enter the bridal party doing their first dance in shorts before the bridesmaids changed to gold dresses and pomp’s. Grooms men wore black trousers and white shirts.
Ms Abigail Chimuka, who was matron, wore a midnight blue dress and the flower girls were clad in all white.
Then came speech time with the groom’s uncle Oliver Kapenda encouraging the couple that marriage was blessed since the time of Adam and Eve and according to God 1+1 = 1, a mark that makes oneness and family.
He spoke to his son specifically that out of the many ladies he chose Sheila because she is beautiful.
He went on to say that marriage is characterized by love Ephesians 5:25 and loving one another create harmony.
• THE couple with Mr Chimuka ( in red top), the Bride’s grand father and Ms Daphine Chimuka (Mr Chimuka’s sister-in-law)
Mr Victor Chimuka spoke on behalf of the bride’s family as he could not hide his joy. In his speech he was grateful that God had granted the family the opportunity to celebrate the holy matrimony.
He told the guests how his daughter had portrayed good behavior and was so delighted that the daughter had chosen the right path as it shows that the character was good and will be a good example to the siblings to follow.
He appreciated Dr Kalezhyi involvement in the family.
Mr Chimuka ended his speech by impersonating the voice of Dr Kenneth Kaunda, oh my! This wowed the invited guests as it was spot on.
Naturally the mood got jollier as time elapsed and the number of glasses of beverage and food consumed multiplied.
The evening, however, had its spiritual moments too like when the senior citizens danced to the now generation songs and the knife man verses knife girl who danced wholeheartedly causing guests to almost empting their wallets.
There was neither fatigue nor boredom, fun, dance and food characterized the event.
