to know him better and they became really good friends. That friendship blossomed to love and come 28th November 2015, they will seal that love in holy matrimony.
Their love story as told by Ike
Well, our first meeting was in church. He had just joined the choir
while I had been away writing professional exams. First thing I saw was
his earpiece (I like unique-looking gadgets), then his profile. I
sharply cautioned myself to focus on the church service (can’t be caught
openly staring at a man biko), besides I was still trying to
figure out signals from another guy.
In fact, I made a point not to get
close to him at all. I didn’t even know his name until 2 weeks after I
first saw him. But when God has ordained that it’s time, nothing can
change it. He’s such a likeable person that it was easy to become really
good friends, and I just was confident about us being great friends for
a looong time (little did I know!).
How He Proposed
We’d already started planning for the wedding, so I wasn’t expecting a
proposal anymore. So after going to finalize on our apartment, he was
dropping me off at my parent’s house, and sometimes we stay outside in
the car to gist and catch up especially if we haven’t seen in the course
of the week. So when he started talking about being grateful to God
for me and for our relationship, I didn’t suspect a thing. Next thing,
he’s asking if I’d do him the honour of being and his wife and I hear
the pop of a ring box, and the prettiest ring twinkling at me. I cried
and said ‘yes’ of course.
Why He’s The One
He’s all I prayed for, I call him God’s answer to my prayers. He’s
lovable, kind, generous and sooo compassionate. He’s constantly looking
out for me, always cheering me on; my biggest supporter and my best
friend. Every time I’m with him, I’m at peace and at home, no matter
where we are. I can’t wait to start this phase of our lives together as
husband and wife.
