Ugandan Olympic gold medalist Joshua Cheptegei had officially been introduced by his fiancée Carol Kamari in a traditionally lavish ceremony.
The traditional wedding ceremony was held in Cheboron village, Kaptum sub-county in Kween district, Kamari’s ancestral home.
The couple now await to do the final stage of tying the knot in a church where they will exchange marriage vows soon.
Their introduction ceremony was graced by athletes such as; David Rudisha of Kenya, Geoffrey Kamworor, Stephen Kiprotich, Peruth Chemutai, Jacob Kiplimo among others, including numerous public figures, government officials and politicians.
When asked why it took her some time to introduce Cheptegei to her parents, Kamari said her fiancé needed time to concentrate on athletics.
“There is time for everything. He had to focus on his career and compete in several national and international events,” Kamari said shortly after a church service at Shining Light of God Ministries in Kapchorwa town.
