How we met
By the bride, Vanessa:

It all started in 2018… Two ambitious students, both chasing big dreams, walked into the University of Dundee — never knowing destiny had other plans. We were classmates, studying International Oil and Gas Management. Then one day, during a recruiters’ forum, Emmanuel walked up to the recruiter with all the confidence in the world… and I remember thinking, “Who the hell is this guy?” That was the moment everything changed. From playful arguments and side-eyes in class… to shared laughter, late-night study sessions, and a friendship that refused to fade — we went from frenemies… to best friends… to soulmates. Over the years, we’ve grown, loved, and built a bond stronger than we ever imagined. And in October 2025 — on the 17th and 18th — we sealed our forever. From Dundee to destiny, from “who the hell is this?” to “this is the one.” This is our love story —Vanessa and Emmanuel — a story written by grace, laughter, and love.
