How We Met

First comes friendship, then comes love.

They say love finds you when you least expect it, and for Uchenna and Ogaga, that couldn’t be more true. It all began with a simple introduction—Uchenna’s friend’s boyfriend happened to be friends with Ogaga, and just like that, their worlds collided. At the time, Ogaga was living in Dallas, TX, while Uchenna was all the way in Abuja, Nigeria. Neither of them imagined that one conversation would change everything. Their first call lasted seven hours—seven hours of effortless conversation, laughter, and connection, with not a single awkward pause. It felt as though they had known each other forever. Still, the distance between them felt daunting, so they made the practical decision to build a strong friendship first. But they never stopped talking. Every single day, without fail, they checked in, shared their lives, and grew closer. They didn’t know when—or if—they would ever meet, especially since they started talking during Covid. But fate had other plans. In January 2021, everything changed. Ogaga traveled to Nigeria for a wedding, and for the first time, they met in person. From that moment on, there was no denying their connection. And as if God wanted everything to align perfectly, Uchenna’s family moved to the U.S. in November 2021. From then on, the two have been inseparable. Looking back, they now see that what began as a chance introduction, a seven-hour phone call, and a long-distance friendship was always destined to become something more. Love found them across continents—and now, they’re preparing to spend forever together.
