Rita Laurence Ngarambe, Rwanda’s representative at Miss Face of Humanity 2022 and the First Runner-Up in the global competition, has announced she is preparing for her wedding in Rwanda with her fiancé, Jordan Cahill. The couple, who have been together for six years, will celebrate their union with family and friends in Kigali.

According to the wedding invitations, the traditional 'Gusaba & Gukwa' ceremony will take place on March 8, 2025, at Juru Park, Rebero in Kigali. The intimate celebration will bring together their loved ones for a special reception.

Speaking to InyaRwanda, Ngarambe revealed that she and Jordan officially married in Canada on February 10, 2024, with both a civil and church wedding. She explained that they chose to hold the Rwandan cultural ceremony at home so their families, who couldn’t attend the Canada wedding, could be part of their journey.

“We wanted to come to Rwanda to share this moment with our parents and family members who couldn’t attend our wedding in Canada. It is a way to celebrate our love and honor our traditions,” she said.

Ngarambe rose to prominence in 2022 when she competed in Miss Face of Humanity, finishing as First Runner-Up and winning the World Peace Award for her advocacy on global peace. Originally from Rwanda, she has been based in Canada since 2017. She studied history in the United States for two years before moving to Canada, where she became involved in humanitarian work.

As an advocate for women’s rights, Ngarambe has been supporting orphans and survivors of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. She also leads Our Past, a remembrance initiative in Canada, and collaborates with organizations assisting vulnerable communities. Her upcoming wedding in Rwanda will be another milestone in her remarkable journey.
