Countdown to our day

We can’t wait to
celebrate with you.

01

Our story

From a conversation
to forever.

How we met

Our story began on Instagram in 2023. What started as a simple conversation grew into a beautiful friendship. We kept talking, learning about each other and building a connection that became increasingly meaningful over time.

In 2025, our friendship blossomed into a relationship, and we became intentional about building a life together.

The long-distance journey

Our relationship has been long-distance, which has meant many flights, late-night calls and countless conversations.

Distance taught us that love is not only about being physically present. It is also about choosing each other, communicating, praying, growing and showing up—even when miles stand between you.

The proposal

In the beautiful city of Enugu, surrounded by our loved ones, came a moment we will always treasure.

Ada said yes to a journey of forever. And now, that journey continues into this beautiful new chapter.

02

Wedding day

Our church wedding.

We would be honoured to have you with us as we celebrate this special day and begin our new chapter together.
