How we met

By the groom, Ayo:

In a world of billions, fate has a way of bringing two souls together who are meant to be. Ayo, from Ibadan city, Nigeria and Irene, from Arusha, Tanzania, crossed paths in the bustling heart of Washington DC, a city filled with the hum of possibilities. I first caught a glimpse of Irene in passing, and though our first meeting was brief, something deep inside told me that this was no ordinary encounter. Later that same day, as if the universe was playing its part, our paths crossed once again, and I knew this second chance was something extraordinary. With fate on my side, I approached Irene, and from that moment, our journey began.

It was June 2022, and what started as casual conversations quickly turned into something far deeper. We spent hours talking, laughing, and discovering the beauty in each other’s hearts. Every conversation felt like destiny drawing us closer. By November 17, 2022, our connection had blossomed into love, and we made our relationship official. One year later, on the same date, November 17th, 2023, I got down on one knee and asked Irene to be my forever. With joy in her heart, she said yes. Now, as we stand on the threshold of forever, we are ready to write the next chapter of our love story—one that will be filled with even more love, laughter, and countless adventures together.
