Whats your name darling?

Former Ugandan President Godfrey Binaisa has married his Japanese bride without meeting her.

The 84-year-old exchanged vows with Ms Yamamoto by satellite link in front of followers of the Unification Church, also known as Moonies.
"Not only does she like me, she loves me - and I love her too," Mr Binaisa told Uganda's Monitor newspaper.
The ceremony took place on 26 July, along with thousands of other couples at a stadium in South Korea.

Ms Yamamoto, 58, who lives in the United States, is reported to be joining her husband in Uganda next month. "She will arrive in style... [my family] support me whole-heartedly. They welcome her with both hands," Mr Binaisa said.

According to the paper, Mr Binaisa could not remember his wife's first name, but said they had spoken a great deal on the phone.
