So we are both CYON members, then we were put in a planning committee for an event. That was when I noticed him. I hardly attended the subsequent committee meetings and lover boy decided to check up on me, and that's how we became friends. I am sure his account of this is slightly different from this. Lol. Our friendship flourished against all odds and tides. And later on he started asking me to date him and I kept on styling based on say I am a Naija babe. Until I could no longer deny the fact that I was head over heels for him. We had a lovely time dating, it was so sweet and beautiful. We were mostly always happy and into ourselves. Then bang, lover boy proposes. And I am like is this for real?! For real, for real?! During the proposal I am not sure I was able to actually say Yes in excitement, I just stretched out my hands. Lol. And here we are about to be married! #ai2019wedding is all about us!

It was 21st Feb 2016 when I first saw her in a church program we both attended. All I can say is she looked good cos i wasn't quite attracted at first. We both ended up joining the same youth group in church n were coincidentally added to a planning committee for another program. Babe didn't show up for any of the meetings. No one else noticed but I did. I got concerned when she also didn't attend the program and I hadn't seen her for a while. I had to follow up as a fellowship brethren... Lol. We got talking n subsequently became friends. On and on we went for about a year, until I was tired of denying the feelings and asked her out. To my surprise, babe said NO. Well, we kept being friends while i kept trying to win my crush's heart. :) She finally said yes after almost a year. We became official love birds. And then exactly another year into the love gist, I decided to take the bold step, and boom... she says YES.

Ashionye: So it's Ifeanyi's birthday and he had planned to have a party, but along the line circumstances changed and he decided to have a dinner for two. On the other hand, my cousin Ashikuni had been itching to go out and saw this as an opportunity to flex. So we obliged and decided to have a night out at the backyard bar along with my siblings, Mekili and Olise. Meanwhile Ifeanyi had pulled Mekili aside to give her the heads up of what was gonna go down, so she was in the know. We had a lovely dinner and then Ifeanyi goes to talk to the waiters and comes back saying he asked for the bill. At this point, I was totally oblivious of what was coming. Ifeanyi: So as the celebrant's girlfriend, Ashionye was asked to say sweet words to le boo and in turn, I was asked to reciprocate the gesture. As I was speaking, I could see Ashionye all blushing up, and grinning from ear to ear. In my mind, I am like this babe mouth go tear from smiling today. Ashionye: Then he stands up stretches out his hands to Mekili, who handed the box over to him. Then he proceeded on one knee. At this point, I could not contain myself. I kept on laughing uncontrollably in total awe and amazement. I was like how could he pull this surprise on me without any hint of suspicion from me. I could see the determination and love in his eyes that this was going to be an eternal commitment. And all I wanted to do was scream out Yes and give all of myself to him because he's everything I want for a life partner, my king. The couple: It was a very heartwarming moment for us because it was the beginning of our forever together. We are thankful to God and each other, for making us who we are. This is the first chapter of our sojourn of our book of love!
