How we met
By the bride, Lauryl:
We met on social media, something so simple, yet it turned out to be the beginning of one of the most beautiful chapters of our lives. What started as casual messages quickly grew into long conversations that flowed effortlessly. We texted, called, and laughed for hours, discovering how naturally we connected even before we met in person. After a few weeks, we finally had our first date. There was a mix of excitement and nerves, but the moment we saw each other, everything felt calm and right. The date was relaxed and full of laughter; every bit of tension melted away as we talked and enjoyed each other’s company.
We had such a lovely time at the restaurant that we didn’t want the evening to end, so we went for more drinks at a second spot. By then, it felt like we had known each other forever. We held hands for the first time, and in that simple gesture, something clicked; it felt natural, warm, and full of promise. As we said goodbye that night, there was a quiet knowing between us. We both felt it, that this wasn’t just a great date, but the start of something truly special. From that moment on, our story unfolded beautifully, built on friendship, laughter, faith, and a love that continues to grow deeper every day.
Lauryl and Tobi also had an Edo-Yoruba traditional wedding. Here’s how it went 😍
