Melissa, Dr. Mahtani’s daughter was a lucky one. She must be a proud daughter indeed.
The wedding ceremony was attended by the ex-president of Zambia Kenneth Kaunda along with many other important Zambian people like Minister of Trade, Commerce and Industry Mr. Chenda. He was however, the guest of honour. The list of high profile guest included Lombe Chibesakunda the Acting Chief Justice, Charlotte the wife of Guy Scott-Vice President of Zambia, Fackson Shamenda the Labour Minister, Mwansa Kapeya Minister of Information & Broadcasting Services, Michael Gondwe the governor of BoZ, Maureen Mwanawasa the ex First Lady and Given Lubinda the Kabwata Parliament member. Permanent secretaries, Deputy Ministers and members of diplomatic corps were even present in the celebration ceremony.
Melissa is a journalist. She works in CNN in London. She got married with Andy Wagner a few days before the bash in Mfuwe at sunset wedding.
The awesome music by Uncle Rex and Band set the evening in motion and settled in guests as they came in. It was followed by a praise & worship segment, which was led by Miracle Life Family Church members where Dr. Rajan Mahtani is the member. There were also many other performers on that night. Jane Osbourne was one of them.
Andy seemed to be quite pleased with the reception that was given to him and his wife by his father-in-law Dr. Rajan Mahtani. He jokingly said with an indirect reference to the grant event that was organized by Dr. Mahtani, “My wife Melissa told me that dad would like to have a small reception for us. Little did I know what a small reception is in Zambia.”
