Yves and Maryse met in 2010 when Yves' little sister "Louise" started attending the same High school as Maryse'. One day Lise asked Yves to accompany her to get some books from Maryse, not knowing that she was the channel God used to introduce them to each other. Maryse was already planning to move to SA for studies when Yves and her started to get to know each other. A few weeks later, Yves asked her to be his girlfriend and she said yes but she was already in another country. They 'dated' over the phone if we can say that haha, then after a year they decided that it was best to end things as they had no plans of being in the same country any time soon. They kept in contact over the years, they remained friends but Yves kept saying that he would marry her one day. Fast forward to 2022 when Maryse finally got the chance to go back to Congo and God did what only He can do.
