Shameka and Bapo became acquainted after meeting each other through the church. Over the course of a month a solid friendship was formed, and they began dating. Building new friendships, doing life together intentionally, and embarking on new adventures. Little did they know that the Lord was orchestrating something grand behind the scenes.
It didn't take long for Bapo to set out on a mission to make Shameka his wife. He got a second job to save up for a ring, and snuck around to secretly speak to Shameka's family and ask for their blessing. Having set out with marriage as the goal, the couple started premarital counseling while Bapo planned an engagement. Finally, on an afternoon when Shameka was totally oblivious Bapo took her back to where he first asked her to be his girlfriend and asked her to be his wife. After many tears...she said yes. They both went off and celebrated this new chapter of life with family and friends and now will begin a new one on September 26, 2020.
