From Neighbours to Soulmates! Enjoy Dolapo and Biodun’s Pre-wedding Shoot
Imagine going from sharing the same neighbourhood to sharing the same home with someone. We bet Dolapo and Biodun will agree with us that this is an exciting feeling! 😅
Their sweet love story began at the university seven years ago. They both happened to be next-door neighbours and Dolapo had always admired Biodun from afar. They became friends after they were introduced by a mutual friend and over time, they realised that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. Now, it’s love in the air and we are super pumped for these two. They are so smitten and it’s written all over their beautiful pre-wedding shoot.
Enjoy their pre-wedding shoot and love story below:
Their love story as shared by Dolapo:
Biodun and I met in 2016 at the University of Ilorin. We were hostel mates but we didn’t start talking until January 2017. We had a mutual friend who came to visit him regularly. I initially thought Biodun didn’t talk as he never said anything, only drove in and out. That faithful day, January 17, he was with his friend and me but he was on his laptop. I tried staying calm as I was intimidated by his presence. I said something that caught his attention, he replied in place of his friend and I smiled so hard and that smile was the connecting dot. According to him. He loved my big smile. I still wear it to date. We became close pals and gees. In March, I started developing feelings for him and told him. He literally told me he had a girlfriend and didn’t cheat.
I accepted that and stayed away. Things didn’t work out eventually with his relationship and he said he didn’t want me to stay away anymore. He asked me if I would love to be his girlfriend twice and I said No. Then the third time, I said yes. It’s been 6 beautiful years with a lot of ups and downs. He always said love was never our issue. I’m glad to write that he stood by me, he fought for us. He is a great partner and I have no single doubt he would be a great father. I’m glad I would have to share my life with my first in everything and the love of my entire life.
How we met
By the bride, Biodun:
We met at the University of Ilorin. We were next-door neighbours and she had been checking me out while I was busy with a project at the time, not really paying attention to anyone. During that time, being preoccupied with various things as a man, I didn’t notice her at first. She used to talk with my friend who often stopped by, which allowed her access to my room. One day, she entered, and a conversation started. She responded with a smile that I found charming. As we talked, I discovered she was intellectually sound, making me feel like she was someone I could spend the rest of my life with. It was refreshing to find someone with whom I could have meaningful conversations. This was the beginning of something special.
