How We Met
from the Bride, Omo
Our paths crossed one night while I was out with my girlfriends in Hollywood.
One of my bridesmaids Seyi, informed me that she had invited a guy called Timi to come along, even though it was supposed to be a girls night out. We rarely had the chance to just hang out as girl, so as we were all chilling two guys walk in, I looked up and Victor was the first person I saw. Before we were formally introduced, I was already firing questions at him “are you Cynthia’s brother?”

I’ve known Cynthia for years but I had no idea she had an older brother living in LA, for some reason I thought it was their youngest that lived in LA, he even played along making me believe he was the younger brother before he confessed.

We talked the whole night and at the time I did not think anything of it as he was just so chilled about it all. I remember feeling very comfortable around him even when I would step away to go dance with my friends, I would return to the same spot and he would still be there – smiling.

Our conversations were easy and light, just the way I like it! It was as though we had known each other for a long time. I had to leave the venue abruptly so I did not get a chance to say goodbye – how rude of me! Happily he called the next day and left a voice mail saying he wanted to check if I got home safely and we started hanging out and have been pretty much inseparable ever since.

Proposal
from the Bride, Omo
My love proposed to me in the most special way, he got down on one knee at my mummy’s 60th birthday celebration, in the presence of all my family members, even my grandma from Nigeria and all my friends. I was having such a stressful day from so much running around for the party, I was consumed with all the things that were going wrong that day – little did I know God had a bigger plan for me.

I always imagined my proposal in my head – “all girls do right?”
Well, it was definitely way better than I ever imagined, it was perfect.  It was such an amazing moment for me and I am so thankful to God for allowing us to share that with our family and friends, my lover made me the happiest girl ever.

Advice for Couples

• Seek God for guidance in all you do
• Counseling is very important
• Hire a good wedding planner

Omo took Victor’s breath away not once, but twice – the cutest moment of all was when he turned to face reality and found his beautiful bride awaiting his hand in holy matrimony.
