Our Love Story

 

Okay! Where do I start from? Ayo and I met in 2009 at a friend’s wedding. We barely spoke to each other on that day but I noticed that he couldn’t take his eyes off me. A few days later, I was pleasantly surprised to get his call and from that day, we kicked off our journey to an unending romance, we were inseparable. The Proposal I didn't get the typical "Ring" and "Down on his knees" kind of proposal. My hubby is a very traditional man and he has his own way of doing things (He calls himself a ‘go getter’). Instead, exactly five months after we started dating, he invited me over to his parents’ house for lunch and introduced me to them for the first time. He also made it clear that he had decided to spend the rest of his forever with me and was ready to take our relationship to the next level. As sweet as it sounded and as head over heels in love as I was with him, I didn't let it get into my head because I wasn’t ready to be a wife at that time. Notwithstanding, I couldn’t stand the chance of losing him, so I told him to give me a little more time. Five years after courtship, my sexy love (as I fondly call him) couldn't wait any longer. He took the bold step to meet my father unannounced and sought his permission to marry me. It was one of the most amazing moments of my life, I was overjoyed and felt super special to know how badly Ayo wanted me to build a life with him. To my darling SEXY LOVE, you add peace, subtract sorrow and multiply joy in my life, I'm looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together! Story by Amina Yusuf.
