Musician Benjamin Mugisha, commonly known in music as The Ben, and his fiancée Pamela Uwicyeza are now husband and wife before the law. The lovebirds on Wednesday, got married during a civil wedding ceremony held at Kimihurura Sector in Gasabo District.

The civil wedding comes months after Pamela, a former Miss Rwanda contestant, said ‘YES’ to the ‘WHY’ hit maker in a colorful proposal that took place in October last year, in Maldives Islands, where the two had been spending holidays together.

Uncle Austin, US-based musician Meddy, Producer Lick Lick and K8 Kavuyo are among a host of celebrities who were in attendance to witness the couple confessing their love before family, friends and the law.

However, everyone who attended the civil wedding had their phones collected before entering the sector’s hall that hosted the couple’s civil wedding to avoid any pictures as they wanted to make the ceremony a private matter.

However, the two were filmed holding each other’s hands outside the sector’s headquarters even before the ceremony took place.

Pictures, apparently taken with a phone by an unidentified person, later emerged in the media and on social media with the duo walking firmly together in the sector’s compound after swearing in before the law as husband and wife.

The Ben has been under intense pressure from his music supporters about what the future holds for Uwicyeza ever since musician Meddy married his Ethiopian darling Mimi Mehfira back in May last year.

The singer, however, said he and his fiancée were in no rush but admitted that the plan for the wedding is work in progress.
