For Amman, it was love at first sight. For Lydia, it was... complicated. Our story began in Addis Ababa, where destiny brought us together. Amman says he fell in love the moment he saw Lydia walking down the stairs of Sheraton Hotel. Lydia, on the other hand, was distracted—his face looked oddly familiar, but she couldn’t figure out why. Introduced by Amman’s cousins, Salem and Yodael, we spent the evening getting to know each other. Lydia was lost in thought, trying to place Amman’s face, while Amman spent the night working up the courage to ask her out. In the end, he chickened out and resorted to a less direct approach—messaging Salem to ask for Lydia’s Instagram handle. That’s when it clicked. Lydia realized she had already been following Amman on Instagram for two years! She was mortified. Was this going to make her look like a stalker? Two days later, we went on our first date, and Lydia confessed right away—yes, she’d followed him on Instagram, but she had no idea he was that guy. Amman hasn’t let her live it down since and still calls her a “stalker” to this day. And that’s how our journey began—a story of serendipity, confusion, and a little bit of Instagram magic. Welcome to our love story. ❤️
