Do you know what the perfect birthday present is? We bet if  Grace were to answer, her response would be ‘Love!’  Four years ago, she said a prayer on her birthday to meet ‘her person’ and Ife came along the very next day.

As they got to know each other better, they soon realised that their love had always been written in the stars. Now, they’ve embarked on a forever journey and you need no soothsayer to tell you that these two are smitten. Their pre-wedding photos are absolutely stunning… they are all you need for a bright and beautiful day. 😍

Enjoy their pre-wedding shoot and love story below:

How we met
By the bride, Grace:

Ife and I grew up in the same church as kids, but never crossed paths. I was a shy kid so there weren’t any memorable friendships for me at the church. Well, except for a lovely chatty nine-year-old I met whose grandfather owned the yellow house close to church. During the few years, my family moved to a different church, I often remembered the yellow house and the girl who would later become my sister.

On my birthday in 2020, I received a message from a friend from my childhood church (which we have since returned to) that an “Ife Johnson” wanted my number. She was so sure I knew who she was referring to and she kept emphasizing the first name – last name to me. Assuring her I had never heard said name, I told her she could share my number with him since we were both part of the workforce of our church. “Hi in Jesus’ name” was the message that dug I and Ife’s chat out of the mess that became of my birthday inbox. And so it began. It’s completely wild that on the eve of my birthday, I had said a prayer “Lord send me my person” and God sent him the very next day.

In three years, I am married to the sweetest, most thoughtful man in the whole wide world – my person! An important highlight is this. One day, he took me to visit his family at his granddad’s, and I found myself on the inside of a yellow house. The one I often remembered as a child. It then clicked why I had an instant connection with Anjola, Ife’s sister. She was the lovely chatty nine-year-old girl. In hindsight, I’m grateful for God’s endless creativity in the affairs of his creation and in our lives.

Yes! There is such a thing as love at first sight. That exciting moment when you meet someone and resolve in your heart that you are going to spend the rest of your life with that person.

Marie and Kayode’s journey began with one of such magical moments. They met at a nightclub in Nottingham 10 years ago and were introduced by mutual friends. They bonded that night over fun conversations and the rest has been a sweet love song! Now, the lovebirds are on the brink of forever and their pre-wedding photos are bound to add sunshine to your day. 😍

Enjoy their pre-wedding shoot and love story below:

How we met
By the bride, Marie:

In March 2014, I was at the University and I took a long weekend break away from London to visit my friends in Nottingham where I met Kayode at a nightclub through mutual friends. He was determined to get to know me by all means necessary before the weekend was over haha! Two days later, he came to spend time with me at my friend’s hall of residence and we spent 6 hours in the common room alone talking about everything…

 

We definitely fell in love on the same night and that was it, two weeks later we were “official”! In December, with the help of my family and closest friends, Kayode popped the question in an intimate proposal at my home and I said “Babe… Omg, I’ve forgotten which hand the ring goes on!” It was the easiest yes.

Have you ever met someone whose personality simply intrigues you? For Yewande and Posi, the more they got to learn about each other, the deeper they fell in love!

They had several mutual friends and even though they had never met, they had heard a lot about each other. Eventually, fate devised a way for them to meet and that was where the magic began. They clicked instantly and soon, it was all sparks and butterflies! Now they are embarking on a forever journey and we get to catch a glimpse of their sweet love through their pre-wedding photos. These two make such a cute pair and we are so excited for them!

Enjoy their pre-wedding shoot and love story below:

 

How we met
By the Bride, Yewande:

Once upon a time, on a sunny day at Essex Uni, I attended an open day to explore the campus. As I strolled around, I suddenly bumped into a young man with a massive afro, as if we were back in the ‘60s! Mistaking him for a childhood friend, I called out my friend’s name, only to be met with silence. My friend Shikemi, laughing, said, “I don’t think that’s the same person.” Shrugging it off, we continued our tour of the campus. Fast forward a year, and I enrolled at the same University, with the Afro encounter long forgotten. As I made friends and settled into uni life, I kept hearing about this guy named Posi. “You should meet Posi,” they’d say, or “Have you met Posi yet?” By the third person, I was like, “Whoa! Who is this Posi guy, and what’s so great about him?” 😅

 

As fate would have it, I eventually met the famous Posi through a mutual friend at a get-together. And guess what? He was the same dude with the afro Lol. He was just as kind as everyone had described! A true gentleman. Posi and I bonded over our shared experiences of having large families and numerous other things. That year, however, was also a tragic one for me, as I lost my dad just a few weeks into starting school. Posi was there for me every step of the way, helping me laugh and stay positive.

Fast forward 10 years from the exact day I said yes to being his girlfriend (13.04.2014), I said yes to being his wife (13.04.2024).

 

How we met
By the Groom, Posi:

Our journey began in Essex, but our story had already begun long before. I had heard of Yewande during high school through mutual friends, and although we had crossed paths several times prior we never spoke. After a few years, I landed at the University of Essex, and by some stroke of fate, Yewande ended up there too. A friend introduced us, and our conversations sparked an undeniable connection. We began dating, and I fondly remember her asking “Where do you see yourself in a decade?”. I responded, ‘Let’s take it one day at a time’, hoping that those days would stretch into years with her. Luckily for me a decade later, she said “I DO” to a lifetime together.

Who says love and business do not mix? After reading Mercy and Tunji’s sweet story, you’ll agree with us that the most beautiful fairytales can emerge from this blend.

The couple met at the beginning of a business venture and little did they know that it would yield them the greatest profit – love! They connected and soon theirs became a whirlwind of romance. Now, they are set to say ‘I do’ and are serving us a truckload of steamy chemistry with their pre-wedding hoot. No doubt, Mercy and Tunji were #MeanttoBE and we are absolutely rooting for them!

Enjoy their pre-wedding shoot and love story below:

 

How we met
By the bride, Mercy:

We met in Pendleton, Indiana when Tunji had just kicked off his IT consulting career with his very first client. Little did we know that this professional venture would be the beginning of our love story. As the project unfolded, Tunji made it his mission to cultivate a connection with me. Breakfast surprises and thoughtful messages became our ways of expressing unspoken emotions. Unfortunately, things never progressed. Fast forward two-plus years and destiny smiled upon us. Tunji, with unwavering determination, flew to Dallas, TX, where our shared weekend became a pivotal chapter of understanding and admiration.

 

With the depth of our connection, we decided to take a chance and embrace the challenges of a long-distance relationship. On December 27th 2019, Tunji asked me to be his girlfriend, and my response was heartfelt, “Of course!” In May 2022, I organized a birthday trip to Mexico unaware of Tunji’s hidden plan. Knowing my special skills for unravelling surprises, Tunji orchestrated the perfect proposal in the most unexpected location— amidst the vastness of the ocean, aboard a private boat. This was an extra layer of surprise as Tunji popped the question that would begin our future. Now, as we eagerly anticipate the journey ahead, we are looking forward to a future filled with faith, community, realized ambitions, successful investments, and, one day, the joy of building a beautiful family of our own.

 

On our first official date, we visited Lucas Oil Stadium, downtown Indianapolis, where we toured the arena, grabbed a bite and talked. It was on our first date we felt sparks, our mutual love for family, and Tunji’s love for sports. We talked all night about everything. It was the perfect date! This day was a significant moment that led to where we are today. This memory is so dear to us that we decided to go back to where it all started by having our wedding celebrations in downtown Indianapolis. We are looking forward to bringing everyone together to celebrate our union and experience it through OUR culture.

Our story began on a dating app shortly after my move to Canada. Being in a new place, I saw it as an opportunity to connect with people and discover the city. I wasn’t actively seeking a lifelong partner, but rather, I was open to forming friendships without any particular expectations. Dede and I started talking and things took off swiftly from there. Just a few days later, we found ourselves on our first date, which went swimmingly—although he still jokingly reminds me about devouring a sizable portion of ribs (typical foodie move, right?).

  

My initial reaction upon meeting Dee (as I fondly call him) was one of astonishment; standing next to him, I felt dwarfed in comparison. Despite his early declarations of his desire for a future together, I was keen on building our friendship first. Coincidentally, we ended up relocating to a new city where we lived just six minutes apart, a seemingly serendipitous twist that further solidified our connection. Getting to know Dee over time, I became increasingly convinced that I was ready to embark on a shared journey towards our future together. We’re thrilled about spending eternity together.

What if your soulmate had always been a part of your life since you were a child? Toun and Faith were childhood friends and as they grew older, their love for each other blossomed alongside.

They became inseparable and since they’ve already spent most time of their lives together, it’s only right that it stays that way forever. As embark on their forever journey, we get to catch a glimpse of their sweet love through their pre-wedding photos. They look so perfect together and we are so happy that love found them in such a beautiful way!

Enjoy their pre-wedding shoot and love story below:

How we met
By the bride, Toun:

Faith and I have been in each other’s lives for as long as I can remember. We met as kids, but the exact moment is a blur because it’s been so long. Our bond goes back to the earliest memories, woven into the fabric of our childhood. Growing up together, we shared everything – from laughter and adventures to dreams and secrets.

As we grew up, our friendship turned into something more and we realized we had feelings for each other that went beyond friendship. And from that moment, we became inseparable. Faith has always been there, a constant presence in my life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Amidst the hustle and bustle that goes on in law school, Zeinat and Yinka crossed paths and found something magical – love! 😍

They soon became best friends and along the line, they discovered that they had close family ties. This further strengthened their bond and now, they get to be partners in fighting crime and partners for life! Their pre-wedding photos are a breath of fresh air and we bet you’ll love each frame as you scroll.

Enjoy their pre-wedding shoot and love story below:

How we met
By the couple, Zeinat and Yinka:

Two hearts destined for each other, brought together by fate and love. Our story is not just one of chance encounters; it’s a tale of two souls who found their way to each other through the most extraordinary circumstances. It all began at Law School in Abuja, where we embarked on a journey that would forever shape our lives. We met as two ambitious individuals, drawn together by our shared dreams. Little did we know that this meeting would mark the beginning of something truly special.

During Bar 2 (the second part of Law school) in Lagos, we became study buddies and formed an unbreakable bond with each other. Our study sessions turned into moments of shared laughter and understanding, and we quickly became best friends. It was during these times of friendship that we uncovered a remarkable connection between our families. We realised that our grandparents had shared a deep friendship, and our families had always been close, even though we had never crossed paths before.

This revelation added an even more profound layer to our story, as it felt like destiny was conspiring to bring us together. It became clear that our connection was not just a matter of chance; it was a testament to the intricate web of family ties that had bound us together long before we met. Now, as we stand on the precipice of a new chapter in our lives, we are filled with excitement and gratitude. We are humbled by the love and support we have received from our families and friends, and we are eager to continue the legacy of love that has brought us to this moment.

Our wedding is not just a union of two individuals; it is a celebration of the love, history, and intertwined destinies that have brought us together. We are excited to embark on this incredible journey as husband and wife, knowing that our love story is one for the ages.

You’ve probably heard the saying ‘Marry your friend.’ Faith and Shola get to experience this and we know they will agree with us when we say this is one of the sweetest feelings ever!

The lovebirds crossed paths while in the university and became friends. As years passed, they became inseparable and chose to go the forever route! As they look forward to a beautiful future, they are taking us on a sweet journey of the past with their vintage-themed pre-wedding shoot. We are obsessed with how their love radiates in each frame and we can’t help drooling. No doubt, they are a perfect match and we are totally rooting for their sweet love! 😍

Enjoy their pre-wedding shoot and love story below:

  

How we met
By the groom, Shola:

Life is funny and beautiful lol. Faith and I met 13 years ago at a pre-university program in Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria. My first impression of Faith was that she was a soft babe. She was using Blackberry back when it was very hot LOL.

  

How we met
By the bride, Faith:

Our story goes way back to 2011 when we became close friends. My first impression of Shola was that he was very reserved and he had a weird laugh. Also, he was a lover boy lol. He was head in love with a girl back then and I was always seeing him taking walks with her almost every evening. However, our love story didn’t happen until a couple of years later on the 9th of March, 2023. Things took a turn for the closer around December 2022, and Shola may or may not have been head over heels in love (just kidding, or am I?) 😉💕

  

Here’s how Shola popped the question:

The proposal was actually very interesting lol. It happened in the car on the 3rd of August, 2023. Mr Shollz was actually planning a surprise proposal but his mechanic messed it up. LMAO! It’s actually very funny. I randomly opened his car boot and I saw the delivery bag of the ring vendor while he was standing next to me. Apparently, His mechanic removed it from where he hid it when he was repairing the car. Anyway, we shared a beautiful moment in the car, of course, I said YES! There might have been a tear or two involved, but it all added to the charm.

Shola: Oga Tunde, I’ve forgiven you sha. It is well.

Who knew a simple introduction could lead to a lifetime of bliss? Bryann and Jennifer’s fairytale began with a neighbour’s matchmaking skills.

They were introduced by Bryann’s neighbour and when they met for the first time, sparks began to fly. It was an instant attraction and the rest has been a sweet love song. Today we can’t get over the beauty their pre-wedding photos exude. We can feel the chemistry in each frame and you need no soothsayer to tell you that these two are smitten! 😍

Enjoy their pre-wedding shoot and love story below:

  

How we met
By the groom, Bryann:

Our love story began when my childhood neighbour introduced me to my baby,  Jennifer. I had made complaints about how I had lost faith in women. However, my neighbour assured me that Jennifer had a good head on her shoulder. The first time we spoke over the phone, we shared some contrary views which made her uninterested… But this changed the first day she met me with her younger sister. She was attracted to how irresistible and brilliant I was, and the rest is history.

Well, this friend was right as they clicked instantly after their first conversation. Soon enough, they caught the love fever and chose to be together forever!  Their pre-wedding shoot is just so stunning and we are so obsessed with these lovebirds. Their stylish looks and sweet show of love in each frame will have you drooling non-stop.

Enjoy their pre-wedding shoot and love story below:

How we met
By the bride, Temitope:

In 2022, A mutual friend of ours introduced us to one another, we got talking and clicked immediately, it was as if we had known each other for longer, our values and interests aligned and we knew we were meant for each other. A few months down the line, Ayobami asked me to marry him, it was the easiest ‘Yes’ I had ever said as he was everything I had ever hoped for in a man. Now we are here celebrating.

One thing we’ve come to agree with when it comes to finding love is that you can never say never. Yewande wasn’t a believer in finding love on dating sites until Silas came along.

It all began when Cupid brought Yewande an early Christmas present four years. She decided to sign up for a dating site and as fate would have it, Silas came across her profile and she stole his heart instantly. They went on their first date and the connection was just so seamless! Now, they are riding on the wings of love and are set to spend the rest of their lives together! Their pre-wedding photos are a breath of fresh air and would certainly make your day!

Enjoy their pre-wedding shoot and love story below:

 

How we met
By the bride, Yewande:

Grab your popcorn while I tell you how God sent me the best early Christmas gift in 2020.  It was the winter of 2020, (rolls eyes trying to feel like a Yankee babe 😂) minding my business and not even looking for a man. My boss had built this super amazing dating website called Girl Country, we (myself and some of my favourite girls in the whole world – Bonu & Sophie) were really excited about how something we were involved in would help people find love. Little did I know that the website was actually built for me. To support our boss, we decided to sign up on the site to fill up user profiles (of course after several pleas). Fast forward to the 14th of December, 2020, I got a notification from the website that I had been matched with some “Silas” me ke?? How?? Émì backend dev. That day in the office was chaotic!! They saw an opportunity to use me for external testing 😂! After so many pleas from Sophie, Silas and I had a first call, exchanged Instagram handles and arranged for a physical meet-up.  I chose a restaurant very close to my house and showed up looking very random (even though he claims I looked stunning ) because honestly, I didn’t think it was going to be anything serious.

 

To make matters even worse, I was about 30mins late and I kept receiving calls almost all through the date (I get business way I dey run dear, make dispatch no go carry my customer order run). Guess what guys!! All the “unattractive things” that happened that day made him want me more. We had great conversations while having lunch. Got ice cream, and ate it in the car while we gisted some more. It honestly didn’t feel like I was just meeting him. Great conversation, really smart guy!!! Fast forward to many mind-blowing dates after, he officially asked me to date him on the 19th of December, 2021 (same day as our first date… An intentional man I Stan!). About a year and a few months later, on the most perfect day 23-03-23, he asked me to marry him!  Like they say, the rest is history and I can’t wait to wake up to him every single day! Imagine a girl who always condemned dating sites is being found by the love of her life on a DATING SITE!!! 😂🤦♀  God’s ways are definitely not ours. PS: the part he didn’t add: he looked through over 100 user profiles, found mine in between, finished searching till the end, and came back to my profile. A patient man I stan! 😂

 

How we met
By the groom, Silas:

It was post -2020 pandemic era in Lagos and a smart doctor branched out and launched a groundbreaking dating website – Girl country. His colleagues from work including Yewande (the most gorgeous woman in the world! 😉 argue with your keypad) stepped in to help support and expand its user base…while one of his early users – Me (after seeing so much shege from other dating sites 🤦‍♀️ PS: the Nigerian dating pool is the utmost ghetto!) being techy volunteered my debugging expertise casually. Fast forward to so many searches after, I stumbled on Yeah’s profile and I just couldn’t resist her charming smile. On the spot, I knew I had found my wife! We had our first date and even though she was late, her entrepreneurial spirit made me know this was definitely the kind of woman I would want to spend the rest of my life with.

Let me also add that there was a giant in the way….but “mercy said no….I’m not gonna let you go… I’m not gonna let you slip away…so you don’t have to be afraid… 🎶  Yeah and I enthusiastically said YeS to a love that somehow miraculously found its way to us. Oya let’s sing….MIRACLE, no dey tire Jesus o! To bless e Silas no dey tire Jesus oh…He don do am before He still dey do am again…chai! Miracle no dey tire Jesus! 🎶😂

Today, we are grateful for the invention of social media and how it creates avenues for sweet connections… just like it did for Rahila and Posi.

Despite having several mutual friends, they had never crossed paths. However, this changed ten years ago when Rahila shared something on Twitter and Posi responded. They built a friendship over the years and soon became inseparable.  They exchanged their heartfelt vows in a white wedding ceremony and it was a truckload of love and beauty.

They also had a vibrant traditional wedding where they repped their Ga’anda and Yoruba roots respectively. Theirs was a beautiful intersection of love, family and rich culture – every frame of their wedding photos is worth gushing over.

Enjoy their wedding photos and love story below:

   

How we met
By the bride, Rahila:

From the moment I met Posi, I knew our connection was something special. We had always known about each other and even had the same circle of friends. But it wasn’t until August 2014 that our story truly began. It all started with a tweet. I had shared something on Twitter and a mutual friend of ours quoted my tweet and responded to it, which led Posi to also respond. This simple act led to our first unofficial interaction. Later that day, Posi took the opportunity to slide into my DMs, and we began chatting. What made the conversation even more natural and comfortable was the fact that we not only had mutual friends, but Posi had recently started attending the same church as me. It provided us with a common ground to build our friendship upon, and it felt like the universe was gently nudging us towards each other.

As the months went by, our friendship grew stronger- as a matter of fact, we gave each other relationship advice. In December 2015, something changed- Posi travelled out of the country for a holiday, and during that time, we found ourselves talking more than ever before and when we didn’t speak, I found myself looking forward to our conversations. This was when I realised that what I was feeling was more than friendship. I later discovered that Posi had always liked me, and I couldn’t help but feel that I had been late to the party.

 

Finally, in January 2016, we took a leap of faith and officially began dating. Our bond only grew stronger as we navigated life as a couple, cherishing every moment we spent together. Then, on New Year’s Day in 2023, in the city of Paris, Posi got down on one knee and asked me to be his forever. It was a magical start to the year, and I couldn’t imagine a more perfect beginning to the rest of our lives. Our story is a testament to the power of friendship, timing, and love. It reminds us that sometimes the most beautiful connections are forged when we least expect them. We are beyond grateful for every twist and turn that led us to this moment, and we can’t wait to embark on the next chapter of our journey as husband and wife.

 

                       

                                            

Rahila and Posi also had a Ga’anda -Yoruba trad and here’s how it went:

Love can be found anywhere and the church is not an exception. Sometimes, that person’s status can change from “Church crush” to ‘Soulmate’ as soon as you shoot your shot. 😍

Three years ago,  Tomiwa caught Tomisin’s attention the moment she saw him dancing in church. As fate would have it, they crossed paths on the beautiful streets of Instagram and what followed was non-stop conversations which deepened their connection. Now, they get to spend the rest of their lives together and we are super pumped. Their lovely pre-wedding photo gives us a glimpse of their love and it’s indeed beautiful to see!

Enjoy their pre-wedding shoot and love story below:

How we met
By the bride, Tomisin:

It all started on one fateful day in October 2021. Here I was minding my business and serving the Lord in church when I noticed someone dancing at the other end of the gallery. So as not to lose focus (after losing focus 💀), I took note of him and faced the word as one does in church. I saw him again the next Sunday and so I decided to ask around about him. So, my best friend asked someone she knew was his friend about him and asked if he was in the market for a girlfriend. The friend asked for my IG handle so she could pass it along to him. The feedback we got was that he was not looking for a girlfriend and was only interested in friendship. I took my L like the champ that I am and moved on.

 

The next time I paid attention to him was at CCI Reboot camp 2021. He passed me on the stairs and said good morning. He also asked me where food was being shared ( even though he claims he does not remember this encounter). A couple of days after that, he posted his graduation pictures from OAU and I sent him a congratulatory message in his DMs after much persuasion from a couple of my friends. This was the 10th of December, 2021. We have talked every day since then.

 

I like to say I shot my shot and it hit the spot but then it took him another 2 weeks to realize what was even going on because he had been on a talking stage with another person and it didn’t work out. Imagine my confusion when he came crying to me about it after we had been talking every day. I quickly but stylishly asked him what we were doing because there was no time to waste talking to someone consistently if there was no future or if you were not on the same page. So, we had that conversation and the rest they say, is history. It’s been an amazing journey with him and I’m super excited about what the future holds for us. Love him with everything !!!

What could be better than finding love on your birthday?  Khafs and Tobi’s fairytale began two years ago when a mutual friend invited her for his birthday.

The amazing thing about their meet-cute is that Khafs had reluctantly agreed to attend the party when she was invited. Little did she know that Cupid had some beautiful plans under his sleeves. They eventually met and the connection was seamless! Now, they are flying on the wings of forever while serving us premium sweetness with their pre-wedding photos. No doubt, these two were made for each other and are so smitten!

Enjoy their pre-wedding shoot and love story below:

 

How we met
By the bride, Khafs:

The stars must have aligned on Tobi’s birthday in 2021 because that’s the day our paths finally crossed. I was invited to his birthday by our mutual friend and though I wasn’t exactly itching to go out, boredom nudged me in the right direction. As fate would have it, the venue buzzed with familiar faces – our amazing circle of mutual friends. And then, there was Tobi.

 

We were introduced, and our conversation flowed. It felt effortless like we’d known each other for years. Throughout the night, we were inseparable, just in a world of laughter and easy conversation. Numbers were exchanged, and we never really stopped! We fell into a comfortable rhythm of hanging out nearly every day after his birthday. A few weeks later, we started dating and it felt like the most natural thing in the world, like a puzzle piece finally clicking into place. Two beautiful years after that fateful birthday, we said “I do,” and our love story began a new, even sweeter chapter.

Have you ever heard of ‘love at second sight?’ If you haven’t, Ademide and Oyekanmi’s sweet story is your cue not to write out on love because you didn’t feel a spark the first time.

As you can guess, Cupid struck the second time they met during a bowling game. Ademide made quite an impression on Oyekanmi and this made him eager to get to know more about her. He was completely sold out after tasting a home-cooked meal she prepared for him after she lost a bet. He planned a romantic proposal where he asked the lady who had stolen his heart (and stomach) to be his forever. Of course, she said ‘Yes’ and it’s butterflies on this end. Their proposal photos are nothing short of beautiful and we are super excited for them.

Enjoy their proposal photos and love story below:

 

How we met
By the groom, Oyekanmi:

Our first meeting wasn’t anything special. During an important exam period, I gave her an underwhelming greeting, which would unknowingly lead to my first nickname of “sleepy giant.” Our second meeting was a little more memorable. A family game of bowling, bringing out the competitive side in us. Being the gentleman I am, I offered to pay for the outing, but this lady refused to send her account details.  Back in Glasgow and now 370 miles away, I could have forgotten about that encounter, but there was something about her that I couldn’t let go of. Months later, I was presented with a choice. Take a job in my city, or one just 20 minutes away from her – You can guess what I chose. See – love makes you do funny things.

 

From there, it was truly a thrilling ride. The way this lady drives is not for the faint of heart. Now just 15 miles away, I used every opportunity to see her. Booking haircuts in her town, planning dates and exploring new cities, anything to spend time with her. She would plan to spend 2 hours with me, and the whole day would pass. We could sit in the car and talk the day away. We didn’t have to be doing anything; spending time with each other was enough.

 

I won a bet and requested my prize be a home-cooked meal, so she prepared smoky jollof rice, spicy suya, and plantains. After this one, my heart (and stomach) were taken. Within 3 months of moving, I already knew (and told her) she would be my wife, but she was still doing shakara for me. After a lot of wooing, I asked her to be my woman, and she accepted. We were both very happy. Since then, like any couple, we have had highs and lows. This lady, her wahala is plenty, but there is no lady’s wahala that I want but hers, and it’s the same for her. We truly are each other’s person. After months of planning, coordinating, and some grey hairs, I got down on one knee and proposed to my lady in the wet, horrible UK weather, and she said YES!

Who says you can’t find love on Twitter?  Ifedolapo and Gabriel are Cupid’s latest and yes, their sweet journey began on Twitter!

Theirs went from a simple comment on a mutual friend’s post to a conversation in the DMs and now, it’s love in the air!  They are blessing us with their pre-wedding photos today and each frame is a testament to their undying love. The joy they radiate is hard to miss and they have us agreeing with the saying, ‘Love is sweet!’

Enjoy their pre-wedding shoot and love story below:

  

How we met
By the bride, Ifedolapo:

We are one of those “we met on Twitter” couple. I randomly replied to a tweet from a mutual friend of ours on Twitter. Dude went to check my profile and saw “talkative” there. Being a guy who loves to have great conversations, he sent a DM with a casual “hello” which I’d have ignored on a regular day, but this day wasn’t regular, so I replied. Yo!!! In 3 days of talking, it felt like we had known each other for at least a decade. A few weeks later, I had fallen in love with him and was sure he was the one.

  

Meanwhile, for some reason, Bro said he wasn’t ready to take things to the next level, which I understood after we talked about it. But this painstakingly led to 4 months of us barely talking. My chest!!! Anyhooooo, we reconnected after those 4 months and got talking like we never stopped. We have been talking since then. Now we’re talking marriage, and we’d keep talking till forever. ♾

They say when two hearts are destined for each other, everything aligns to bring them together and we can’t agree more. Bianca and Williams‘ journey has been one of beautiful discoveries.

They met for the first time at the university seven years ago, Unknowingly to them, their paths had crossed paths in the online world a while back. Over the years, they’ve been bound by the threads of chance encounters until one fateful day when Williams spontaneously asked Bianca to be his girlfriend. Now, this seemingly simple action has led them to the brink of forever. They sure make a cute couple and we are super stoked for them!

Enjoy their pre-wedding shoot and love story below:

   

How we met
By the bride, Bianca:

In 2017, at the University of Nigeria Enugu campus, fate intertwined as I just crossed over. Williams, whom I’d been unknowingly following on social media, coincidentally crossed paths with me during his clearance. A chance encounter turned into a playful exchange on Twitter. Fast forward to 2019, a car ride deepened our bond. In 2021, his beard caught my eye on Instagram, sparking playful banter. After a generous gesture, he surprised me by suggesting I see him as my boyfriend. In disbelief, I asked, “Just like that?” His reply: “Yes, just like that.” Three delightful years later, We’re choosing to spend the rest of our life together and we will do it over and over again.

Isn’t it amazing how something as little as a simple DM can lead you to a lifetime of bliss? The first time Adams came across Romola’s photo in a mutual friend’s story, something about her caught his full attention.

He shot his shot with a DM and certainly did not miss! They had a lovely Nikkah ceremony with their loved ones present. Shortly after, they also had a Yoruba traditional ceremony where they repped their roots with elegance.  These two have proven to us that love and style are such a sweet mix. They came through with a back-to-back slay throughout their big day and we are certainly taking style lessons from them. You’ll love every bit of their photos as you scroll.

They say everything happens for a reason and we can’t agree more. Sometimes, those seemingly unpleasant situations could just lead you to something or someone special.

Even though Kikie and Victor met after witnessing a car accident 15 years ago, you will agree with us when we say their encounter was no accident. They found love and have grown deeper in it with each passing day. They are taking a sweet ride to forever and we are super pumped for these two. Their pre-wedding photos are so stunning and we can feel the love in each frame… You’ll certainly feel it too as you scroll. 😍

Enjoy their pre-wedding shoot and love story below:

  

How we met
By the groom, Victor:

Ours is a love that started 15 years ago in Peace Mass Transit’s Abuja to Lagos route. The journey started with us and other passengers witnessing an accident right in front of our very eyes along the Abuja-Lokoja expressway. This led to one of the defining moments of our lives… our meeting. It was certainly not an accident. 😊

 

 

We moved to different countries UK and Canada and distance was just a barrier. In 15 years, we have loved hard, we have cried, and we have learnt lessons. But most importantly, in 15 years we have grown. Grown to understand, that there is perfection when imperfect beings come together to make a union perfect. We dedicate our lives to each other. Now we decided to take the bold step to build a home together as it has always been her and no one else.

“Love is a beautiful thing,” they say, and a recent wave of engagements and weddings in Nigerian gospel music seems to confirm it. Since the heartwarming engagement of Sunmisola Agbebi last March, news of gospel singers finding their “good thing” has filled the headlines.

Check out the gospel singers who found their happily ever after in the last year.

Sumisola Agbebi and Yinka Okeleye

“The love of my life said yes!” In an intimate ceremony with their closest friends in March, amidst red and white balloons, and a violinist playing a romantic melody, Yinka got down on one knee and asked Sunmisola to marry him. Of course, you know the answer.

Months later, the couple had an introduction ceremony to formally introduce their families and a wedding ceremony in June to seal the union, making them Mr and Mrs.

Veekee James

Kicking off 2024 in style, popular fashion designer Veekee James, the voice behind “Olugbeja,” tied the knot with Femi Atere in a spectacular wedding. The #LoveUnbeaten24 couple’s celebrations, from their introduction to the white wedding, were a delightful and fashionable experience.

Months earlier, Femi proposed to Veekee in a beautiful setting. “I said YES to my sweetest love Femi 💍 🥰 on the 10th of June, 2023! I thought he was taking me out on a dinner date but he already planned to ask me to be his wife! 🥰 I said YES without a doubt!”

See the proposal video below:

Moses Bliss

In January, Moses Bliss surprised everyone by announcing his engagement to Marie Wiseborn on social media. The proposal took place in London in a beautiful orchestra in a setting surrounded by friends. Moses even serenaded Marie with a special performance before popping the question and getting a resounding “yes”!

Barely a month later, their love story culminated in a beautiful February wedding ceremony in Ghana. The celebrations included a civil and traditional ceremony, officially making them Mr. and Mrs. Bliss.

That’s not all, Moses Bliss also released an entire EP titled “Love Testament” filled with love songs dedicated to his wife, Marie, and the love they share.

Listen to the EP here

Theophilus Sunday

The year has barely started, and then boom, Theophilus Sunday announced his engagement to Ashlee White on his Instagram page

And by the weekend, they wasted no time in announcing that they were legally married

Neon Adejo 

“One quick date in LONDON, now the rest is history 🙈 This woman is so special 🤍 Best decision after salvation💪…” These are the sweet words Neon said about his proposal to his love, Lade Kehinde.

The proposal video was accompanied by an intimate love song named after her “Lade

King James

Afrogospel singer Jacob, known as King James got engaged too. He proposed to his love Victory Usoro, making it the second engagement this month, March.

Called Out Music

UK-based singer and songwriter, Samuel Nwachukwu, mostly known as “Called Out Music,” also got married this month

A post shared by Samuel Nwachukwu (@calledoutmusic)

We’re seeing a recent surge in weddings in the Christian community this year. Could this be related to the prophecy from 2023 by Nathaniel Bassey regarding “Kingdom marriages” in 2024?

Congratulations to all the couples, and we look forward to hearing more good news.

We not only love all the engagement and wedding announcements, but we also love the accompanying love songs by the gospel singers themselves. We’ve curated a list for you. Check it out here.

Imagine planning to surprise someone, only to get to the location and find yourself utterly surprised instead! Yemi pulled a fast one on Cassandra and we love how it turned out!

Just when she thought she had planned the perfect surprise birthday party for him, she ended up being shocked with the sweetest proposal! Surrounded by their loved ones, Yemi went down on one knee and asked the lady who had stolen his heart to marry him. Of course, It was a resounding ‘Yes’! Now, here we are, drooling over their love as we take in all the beauty of their #BNBling moment.

Enjoy their proposal photos and love story below:

   

How we met
By the bride-to-be Cassandra:

We attended the same university and met for the first time in 2014. I was with a male friend at a photoshoot on a Saturday afternoon in my faculty and he tapped my arm and told me to look at the “Fresh”, Tall, good-looking model. I’ll never forget that I thought he was the most good-looking man I had ever seen. He was in his final year and I was in my first. In 2016, we went on our first date at my favourite ice cream place and I was so smitten lol, but I was about to get into my final year and I wasn’t ready for a committed relationship.

        

Fast forward to 2019/2020, we and a few other guys that went to uni together became much closer and started spending more time together and I was like one of the boys, but in all of these, it was clear that something was still there, even our friends teased about it. It just wasn’t the right timing and we were never in the same headspace. In December 2020, I moved to the island and was staying down the road from the boys so I saw them ever so often. Finally, in June 2021, he asked if he could take me on a date (I remember being super giddy about this and not being able to sleep for days) and we started this relationship properly then, and it has been amazing.

   

Here’s How Yemi Popped the question:

I had been planning his 30th birthday surprise dinner for months because I wanted it to be perfect, he really deserved it. A few weeks to the birthday dinner, his younger sister convinced him to propose earlier and hinted that I was planning something for him and it would be a wonderful way to surprise me. I started to suspect literally all my friends because I’m able to pick on the tiniest detail but he managed to sell me another story about some other event happening on his birthday (the surprise party was set for the day before) and I believed he would propose on his actual birthday instead. We got to the venue of the surprise dinner, with all of our friends that I had invited for his birthday waiting. Just that this time, they were waiting for me and I ended up being the surprised one. It was so smart and absolutely amazing. I was completely gobsmacked.

One of our favourite things about the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is the opportunity it gives to create sweet love stories. Abisoye and Collins are beneficiaries of this… and Yes, their love story began in the NYSC camp. 🥰

Now, it’s a forever story for the lovebirds as they tie the knot in a beautiful white wedding ceremony. Abisoye looked radiant and Collins came through dapper. Before their white wedding, the Yoruba beauty and Delta-Igbo prince charming had a wholesome blend of love and culture with their traditional wedding. Their special bond was evident all through and we can’t get enough of  the joyous atmosphere and sweet display of love in each of their photos

Enjoy their wedding photos below:

       

How we met
By the groom, Collins:

Abisoye and I met at NYSC Camp through mutual friends. Before we were introduced, I had seen her earlier in the day at Mami market purchasing a power bank and she looked overwhelmed. I tried to get her attention but she walked right past me; she didn’t even notice me or look in my direction. Well, as fate would have it, we were formally introduced through friends that night. Most of her friends were in my platoon, so she would come over to hang and I always saved her a seat… we got closer over time.

 

  

We got to know each other better and became really great friends. During our last week on camp, I asked her if she had planned on relocating or travelling for her master’s degree because I knew I was relocating soon. I saw a future with her and I didn’t want to miss out on it. We started dating right after camp and I made sure my last few months before relocating were memorable. Our relationship became a long-distance relationship for a year before she moved for her master’s. The rest, as they say, is history.

   

Talk about a stylish squad 😍

                                                  

Abisoye and Collins also had a vibrant traditional wedding. Here’s how it went;

While love at first sight is a thing that happens for some… For others like Nneka and Nnamdi, the third time is always a charm. 😍

Although, love might not have happened instantly when they met eight years ago… certainly, a seed was planted and it has blossomed over the years into something magical. Nnamdi finally took the ‘bulls by the horns’ and decided he was going to shoot his shot without looking back after fate made them cross paths the third time. Now, it’s love in the air for the sweethearts as they are set for a forever journey. Their pre-wedding shoot in the Bahamas is a breath of fresh air and we bet you’ll love every fame as you scroll.

Enjoy their pre-wedding shoot and love story below:

  

How we met
By the groom, Nnamdi:

Our story started at the Umu Igbo Unite (UIU) annual convention in Chicago, Illinois, back in 2016. I first noticed a captivating young lady dancing near the stage during Flavour’s closing concert. Surprised that I hadn’t seen Nneka all weekend, I thought, “I need to approach her with my fine boy charm.” Unfortunately, as I made my move, the concert ended. However, I ended up talking to her and she shared her Instagram (the modern-day phone number). We continued our conversation on IG, where I discovered Nneka lived in New Jersey, was in school, and had a love for Afrobeats.

Let’s jump to 2019. I was attending a wedding in New Jersey and seized the opportunity to reconnect with Nneka after nearly three years of radio silence (tsk tsk). After jogging Nneka’s memory about our past, she reluctantly accepted my date invitation. Our evening unfolded at a Thai restaurant, concluding with a visit to an Afrobeats lounge. Beyond the realm of Instagram DMs, our reconnection deepened, leading to occasional phone conversations.

 

Fast forward to 2022, and I found myself at the iconic Apollo Theatre, attending an Adekunle Gold concert. As I shared post-concert photos with friends via AirDrop, a familiar name popped up in the suggestions—none other than Nneka! Can you believe the coincidence? I sensed destiny at play and realized this was not only my moment but also my final chance. No more three-year hiatuses, no more indecision, no more elaborate tales, no more wahala! On November 20, 2022, I took the plunge, calling Nneka, and since that day, our conversations have been #NNEVERENDINNG2024.

Fresh off his recent proposal, Neon Adejo gifted the world with “Lade,” a sweet and intimate love song eponymously named after his fiancee, Lade.

Folabi Nuel – “Bobibi – Forever and a Day”

This entire album is a love letter from Folabi Nuel to his wife, Gboremi. Released in 2023, “Forever and a Day” features a collection of romantic tracks like “911” (a playful song about being completely smitten), “For You” (a heartfelt declaration of love), and the captivating “Monalisa” featuring guest artists like Timi Dakolo, Johnny Drille and Remii.

Victor Thompson – “Fall in Love”

Victor Thompson did not mince words with the 2022 single “Fall In Love.” This sweet and heartfelt message leaves no doubt about his feelings for his wife, Henrietta.

Sinmidele and Remii – “My Baby”

Teaming up for a soulful duet, gospel powerhouse Sinmidele and The Voice alum, Remii, created “My Baby,” a song that beautifully captures the tenderness and joy of being in love.

 

Yadah – “When a Believer Loves”

In 2023, Yadah went all out with a 2-track EP dedicated to her husband, Okafor Chinonso Daniel. “I really wanted to do songs that talked about love through the lens of scripture. Love as patience, love as kindness, love in its purity. I’m glad I did. The EP “When a Believer Loves” has just 2 songs dedicated to @__okaforchinonso,” she wrote in an Instagram post.

Gaise Baba – “Títíláí”

Bringing an Afro-fusion twist to the love song genre, Gaise Baba dropped “Títíláí” song in 2017 in celebration of love. He says:

“Títíláí” is a song about love within the context of marriage, told from a near-playful angle of a good guy reiterating his endless commitment to his bride. The aim is to draw attention through this, to the institution of marriage; glorify, celebrate and promote the biblical concept of love, grace and ‘forever-ness’.

Angeloh – “Love Child”

In 2023, Angeloh released not just an album, but a celebration of love! “Love Child” is a 7-track that talks about love in its truest form – new love, weddings, romantic getaways – and all the sweetness that comes with it. It has a deluxe version featuring collaborations with other gospel greats like Greatman Takit, Gaise Baba, Ko’rale, and soul singer, Waje. Since 2019, Angeloh has been making love songs inspired by the twists and turns of his love life: from being single to finding the one, getting married, and navigating fatherhood as a young man.

Bonus… Sola Allyson – Ife Eji Owuro

We couldn’t resist including a timeless classic! Sola Allyson‘s “Ife Eji Owuro” (meaning “Morning Love”) is a beautiful and enduring love song that continues to resonate with listeners today. The song “Eji Òwúrò” first appeared in 2003 as part of the soundtrack for a Bimbo Oshin movie of the same name. It was later revamped in 2009 with production by Cobhams Asuquo and mixing by Olaitan Dada of Natialo Productions.

In life, everything happens for a reason. Daniel didn’t know that his transfer to a new college would come with the most beautiful gift ever, Ehinome.

Well, cupid was certainly plotting something sweet behind the scenes and the first time he set eyes on her, he knew she was the one for him. They’ve spent the past years growing deeper in love with each passing day and now we can hear the jolly sound of wedding bells!

Daniel went down on one knee, asking Ehinome to marry him and she said ‘Yes!’ Their indoor proposal was perfect and they had an engagement party to celebrate this new beginning with their loved ones. We can sure feel the love and happiness in the air and we are super pumped that love found these two! 😍

Enjoy their proposal photos and love story below:

     

How we met
By the bride, Ehinome:

In Daniel, I found someone who complements me in every way. His unwavering love, support, and admiration for me are evident in his words and actions. Over the past ten years, we’ve built a strong foundation of trust, understanding, and companionship, weathering life’s storms together and celebrating its joys as a team. I’m so excited to spend the rest of my life with my man because I couldn’t imagine a future without him. His love fills my heart with warmth and happiness, and together, I believe we will conquer anything life throws our way. Daniel, I can’t wait to spend a lifetime of love, laughter, and adventure with you.

   

How we met
By the groom, Daniel:

On the day I proposed to Ehinome, I found myself overwhelmed by her beauty. I couldn’t help but reflect on the incredible journey we’ve shared over the past 8 years. From the moment I first laid eyes on Ehinome in college, I knew she was the one. It was as if destiny had brought us together, guiding me through school transfers and chance encounters until our paths finally crossed. Our college days were filled with adventures and countless hours spent together, but our journey didn’t end there.

  

We have leaned on each other as we embarked on our adult lives. Ehinome has always been there to encourage, motivate, and pray for me. Her kindness, generosity, and unwavering strength have been a constant source of inspiration. As we’ve navigated life’s ups and downs together, we’ve created countless memories and overcome countless obstacles. Ehinome is my soulmate and my best friend. As we embark on this new chapter together, I know that our love will only continue to grow stronger with each passing day. Here’s to a lifetime of adventures, laughter, and love. Ehinome, I can’t wait to spend forever with you.

          

Ehinome and David also had an engagement party. Here’s how it went 😍

Have you ever wondered if it’s possible to fall in love with someone by just seeing a photo of them? We bet if Abdullahi were to answer, it would be a resounding yes! 😍

The first time he came across Amirah’s photo, there was something about her that caught his full attention. Fortunately for him, they had a mutual friend who succeeded in securing him a date with the beautiful Amirah. They built a beautiful bond which has now led them to the start of a perfect fairytale. They are serving us premium sweetness today with their pre-wedding photos and we cannot get enough! They look perfect together and we are excited for them as they embark on this forever journey.

Enjoy their pre-wedding shoot and love story below:

  

How we met
By the bride, Amirah:

Abdullahi was scrolling through social media with a female friend and they stumbled upon my picture. The friend told him I was pretty and looked like his type but that I was also out of his league. He refused to accept this and went ahead to search for my handle on Instagram. He went through my pictures and discovered that we had a mutual friend, Sanusi. He walked over to Sanusi’s house in Manchester and spoke to him about me. The funny thing is that Sanusi had asked me a few days earlier when I wanted to get married as he was going to look for a husband for me.

 

Just after a few days, he sent me a message saying he had found a husband for me. I didn’t think he was serious of course. He kept insisting that we would get along with the ‘husband’ he had found because we had a lot in common. Well, Abdullahi and I finally met when he came for the summer holidays in London, in June 2019. I was also starting university that September. We started dating one month later and the rest is history. I am super excited to be doing life with the perfect man.

Getting married to your best friend can be one of the  decisions ever. Amanda and Cornelius get to experience this fine mix of love and friendship and it’s so beautiful to see. 😍

After a carrying out a selfless act in Paris, the beautiful city of love became a place where their bond blossomed even further. Now, as they journey to ‘happy ever after’, they are yet reminded of the fact that their love was always meant to be. Their pre-wedding shoot photos have us swooning  over their sweet bond we are super pumped as they embark on this love ride together!

Enjoy their pre-wedding shoot and love story below:

How we met
By the bride, Amanda:

The last time I was in Paris was 4 years ago, it was my first solo trip and quite frankly ended badly. I unimaginably experienced loss whilst on holiday, truly no one prepares you for that. Anyway, my best friend flew into Paris to spend time with me and he was the best support system a girl needed. I left Paris hastily, scarred by the emotions the city stirred up in me. Fast forward to this trip, my best friend (now fiancé) and I decided we fly out to Paris for his birthday, in hopes of creating better memories as time has passed. The intentionality he brought, making sure I was comfortable and happy despite it being his birthday was beautiful to witness. And then, he surprised me by asking me to be his life partner, his wife. Paris I love now, but this man has my heart forever, he always has to be honest.
