This is a real life story of how a lady's pretty picture spoke a thousand words to a random guy.

Wedding story of the week

This is a real life story of how a ladys pretty picture spoke a thousand words. Tolu [the groom] met his bride, Michelle first on his neighbours phone, through a pretty picture.

Below is the bride's story of how they met:

A friend of mine told me her neighbour saw my picture, likes me and wanted my number. I was sceptical because I hated hookups. I just laughed about it and changed the topic.

Two weeks later, she told me he still wanted my number. I asked her a couple of questions about him and I decided to give it a try. He didn't call me.

Two days later, I saw a missed call on my phone. My mind told me it was him and True Caller confirmed my suspicion. I didn't call back, I texted him on whatsapp. Lol. He introduced himself and honestly, we didn't get along for more than a week.

I think he got frustrated and let me be for some days, that was when I started missing his annoying self. I texted him and he was surprised I was actually texting him.

Fast forward to some days later, he asked me out on a date and I said yes. The day we went out was the first time we were seeing or hearing each other. He was tall, dark and handsome,just like I wanted.

He was also shy, which was cute. There was an obvious attraction, but he was such a gentleman and very different from other guys.

A few months before then, the word marriage didn't quite go down well with me but meeting Tolu changed everything. He met my parents a few months later to let them know his intentions. We had our ups and downs but in less than a year, we walked down the aisle.

We knew this was meant to be....

Wedding InfoThe Traditional wedding took place at Asaba Airport Road in Delta state at the brides' Father's residence while the church wedding took place in Port Harcourt with reception at Randolph Hotel Event Hall, Old Aba Road on the 9TH July 2016.
