How we met:

Bride says: He was a senior colleague in school, until I came across his friend 3years after he left school, in Lagos during my internship and I asked for his gsm number, then put a call to him, pretended I was someone else, but he recognized my voice. He then fixed a date for the following weekend at the e-center, yaba where we met.

Groom says: I knew her as a friend way back in pharmacy school in UniJos. We became friends after we found ourselves on the same seat on the way from a conference in Uyo. Little did I know that I was sitting with my future wife that faithful day. Not much happened after then till we met again when she came to Lagos for her internship. I received a call one afternoon from a lady who was trying to disguise her voice. To her biggest surprise I recognized her voice and fixed a date for the next weekend at e-center and when I saw her coming I said to her ‘’here comes my wife’’

How he proposed: wow I remember that day with nostalgia. It was on my last birthday, 16 sept 2011, I came in from Yobe to Lagos during my NYSC, and he then organized a birthday party for me at the VIP Lounge of King-size, Oregun. I was treated as a princess by him and our friends. At the end of the day while he was giving the vote of thanks, I saw my dear on his knees with a gold ring and he turned to me and said, ‘please marry me’. I was shocked, surprised, and shy because he didn’t strike me like someone who would propose in the presence of friends in a public place.
