A man who married seven brides in a single day has told how he will be back for more. Devout Muslim Habib Nsikonnene, 47, married his wives, including two sisters, in a day-long ceremony in Namasengere, Uganda. The wedding day began early in the morning with a fleet of vans to whisk each bride to beauty salons and hairdressers to prepare for the ceremony. 

Each bride wore white and was married at their own home in a traditional ceremony. The new wives and guests were ferried to a reception at Habib's home in a fleet of 40 limos and 30 outrider motorcycles, reports local media.
