Flora Stole Stan’s Heart at a Wedding, Leading Them to a Beautiful #BNBling!
Have you ever seen someone across the room and become immediately and undoubtedly drawn to them? Well, Stan experienced this at a wedding, and that magnetic connection led him to the love of his life.
The moment he spotted Flora, he was immediately enchanted by her radiant beauty. Something stirred deep within him, and he just knew that he had to approach her…he was not going to let this chance pass by. He walked up to her confidently, and a conversation ensued. Oh, she was so charming! he couldn’t resist her warmth and beautiful smile. In that moment, his certainty peaked; she was the one for him. They exchanged numbers and stayed in contact. Through steady intentionality and consistency, Stan eventually won Flora’s heart. He had always known his heart belonged to her, and to make it official, he gave her a beautiful surprise proposal. She said yes! Now it’s forever o’clock for the lovebirds, and we are so excited! Their love shines so bright in these stunning proposal photos, both of them glowing and serving a sweet dose of romance. We see what Stan saw that fateful day, and truly, we are just as mesmerised. 😍

How we met
By the groom, Stan:
What surprised me most wasn’t the attraction. It was the certainty. Somewhere deep inside me, something awakened. I knew, in a way that didn’t need explanation, that she was my wife. From where I sat, I couldn’t take my eyes off her. I tried to act normal, but my attention kept finding its way back to her. I asked questions about who she was and paid close attention. I remember thinking to myself that I couldn’t let that moment pass, that I couldn’t let the universe place her in front of me and walk away pretending I didn’t recognise what it was offering. When the opportunity came, I took it and approached her. We talked. And almost immediately, it felt easy. She had the most beautiful eyes and a smile that disarmed you without trying. Even with all the noise around us, I felt strangely focused… like everything else had softened into the background. Before the wedding ended, she decided to leave. But I already knew I wasn’t going to let whatever had started that night fade away. We exchanged contact, and after that day, I stayed intentional. I did everything I could to make sure we stayed connected, that the communication didn’t stop. I knew what I had seen. I went home smiling from cheek to cheek, gisting my friends that I had just met my answered prayer. They all thought it was a joke, but here we are today. I’m grateful I made that bold move.
How we met
By the bride, Flora:
I remember that night differently. I remember the noise first, the crowd, the energy and the fun that comes with being at a Nigerian wedding. I wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone anymore. All I wanted to do was enjoy the wedding to the fullest. And then he walked up to me. There was nothing loud or intrusive about him. He was calm, respectful, and gentle in a way that immediately softened my guard. So we talked. I didn’t know anything at that moment. But something about him stayed with me. As the conversations continued and the days unfolded, I began to notice the things that mattered. His consistency. His kindness. The way he showed up without needing to announce himself. I saw that he was a genuinely good person, sincere and intentional. I knew I wanted him in my life. At first, simply as a friend. And then, quietly, our friendship deepened. What he felt immediately, I grew into slowly. What he knew from the start, I came to understand through time, through presence, and through care. Love didn’t arrive all at once for me. It gradually unfolded, and it stayed. Somewhere along the way, I realised I was choosing him too. And now, here we are. Still choosing each other.
