It started at an Afro Beats party in Copenhagen, Autumn 2018. Nicole spotted “King Flame” outside and swore she knew him. They exchanged familiar hellos—only to realize they’d never met before. A spark was lit that night, and what felt like fate turned into forever.

A heartfelt conversation turned into a life-changing moment. While discussing their goals for 2023, Brian opened up about wanting to build a legacy for his daughter and future kids. When Nicole mentioned her dad had asked about marriage, Brian responded, “We MUST do something about it this summer!” Caught off guard, Nicole asked, “Wait… can I start looking for rings?” His answer was simple and sure: “Yes!"

With tailored outfits sent from Nigeria, Nicole and Brian surprised her mother with a formal request for Nicole’s hand in marriage. At first, she couldn’t believe it—until the engagement ring was revealed. Overcome with emotion, she gave her blessing. Libation was poured, honoring their ancestors and sealing the bond. With her mother's approval and her father’s joyful “Congratulations!” over FaceTime, the couple now looks forward to celebrating with you in Malmö for their intercultural traditional wedding.
