The highly anticipated religious wedding was solemnized by the renowned Apostle Mignonne Kabera, in the presence of close family, friends, and their faith community.

This special ceremony followed their earlier civil union, held on December 27, 2024, at Intare Arena in Rusororo, just two days before the grand religious celebration. The couple, who first captured the public’s attention with their love story, were finally united before God, pledging eternal commitment to each other in a sacred vow.

The relationship between Naomie, the Miss Rwanda 2020 titleholder, and Michael Tesfay, a passionate advocate for mental health awareness from Ethiopia, has been one of love, respect, and faith. The couple’s journey together officially began with a surprise engagement on January 1, 2024, followed by an official proposal in February 2024.

The wedding was a beautiful blend of culture, spirituality, and love. Miss Naomie Nishimwe and Michael Tesfay, who had already made their legal commitment through a civil ceremony, chose to solidify their bond before God, acknowledging the importance of faith in their journey together.

The couple’s wedding at Noble Family Church was not only a celebration of their love but also a reflection of their shared values.

Their marriage, made complete in the eyes of God, reflects their love for one another, their respect for each other’s cultures, and their commitment to a future built on trust, faith, and devotion.

In the words of Apostle Mignonne Kabera, “Today, we witness not just the union of two hearts, but the beginning of a divine partnership, where love is eternal and faith is the foundation.”
