Our love story could be likened to the Nigerian local parlance that says, 'what you’re looking for in Sokoto is in your “sho-ko-to”. i.e what you seek for afar off, is right under your nose'.
HOW WE MET by the Bride
Our love story could be likened to the Nigerian local parlance that says, 'what you’re looking for in Sokoto is in your “sho-ko-to”. i.e. what you seek for afar off, is right under your nose'. My family and I moved into a new flat in 2010 and we had this neighbour of ours who was single (I’m sure you already know where I’m headed…lol). Sorry to burst your bubbles, I was in a relationship and wasn't even looking in his direction….so he claimed too. Overtime, he grew close to my family and became the elder brother we never had. Therefore, as younger sisters, we made it mandatory to scout for a wife material for him since he was an eligible bachelor. He told us his specifications (i.e. his type of woman) and the search begun. Even my parents took it upon themselves to look for someone for him. We introduced three girls to him, but none of these contacts blossomed into a relationship, three years later it dawned on him that he had three beautiful single-ladies upstairs and began to look our direction. I was his preferred choice but because I was in a relationship at that time, i didn't give him a chance. Things worked together for his good when my relationship turned soured in early December of the same year.
THE PROPOSAL by DIRA There was nothing particularly dramatic about my proposal. What was surprising about it was where it happened, he proposed in the car while stuck in traffic. I was stunned when he popped the question out of the blues at first but hey, i said yes and like they say, the rest is history.
FINDING TRUE LOVE BY GROOM
We see each other almost every day (I mean what do you expect, we are neighbours) and yet every moment spent, is like love rekindled, falling more in love with each other as each brand new day unfolds. Our love is like black and white piano keys, as harmonious music is incomplete without the other, so also is our love incomplete without each other because we complement each other. Life is funny, you meet someone and all of a sudden, you can’t do without them. God knows best & I thank God for love because love isn't just beautiful, it is indescribable when you fall in love with the right one We are due to get married on the 30th of Dec 2014 & 31st of Jan 2015 when her name will be eventually change to MRS. OKWUAGWU. We look forward to spending the rest of our lives together.
