It’s been almost five years
of friendship, love, laughter, tears, fights, arguments, break-ups and make-ups
but when they look back now, they now know it was truly worth it. This initiated the theme of this beautiful engagement photo shoot - “Friends & Lovers”.
Bride: Damilola
Groom: Babajide
How they met(...from the bride)
We met in January 2009. I was
bored on a certain evening and decided to step out. I usually drive out most times. However, this fateful day, I opted to take a stroll alone. I went to the supermarket and bought some snacks, did some snooping around and headed for
home. I was munching on the snacks
I bought when a friendly voice called out to me. At that moment many things ran
through my mind; “should I stop or shouldn’t I?” I eventually decided to stop
since a kind gesture won’t do anyone harm and from then on is history.
How he proposed(...from the bride)
When Jide travelled to UK
last year summer for vacation, I had no idea He had connived with my younger
sister in getting my ring size. My sister opened up to me before his arrival
and this kept me excited waiting for his return. He arrived Nigeria few weeks
after that. I was filled with so much excitement when I went to pick him up
from the airport expecting a big proposal. We hugged and shared how we missed
one another but still no proposal. I dropped him off and headed back to the office unhappy. Days, weeks and a month
passed and still no surprise. I had taken it off my mind and decided to let it
rest so I could focus on other things. Sallah was around the corner and we were
all planning to travel to his hometown - Ijebu-Igbo where they usually celebrate
the holiday together as a family. Been my first time to go on such trips, I
prepared properly for it and looked forward to it.
On a fateful morning, precisely
October 26th, after prayers together with friends and family during
the Sallah holiday, Jide started saying things about us. He said how much he
really loves me and how we had come a long way together. The next thing was
that I saw him go down on one knee and popped the question. I was in awe. I
said ‘YES’ and here we are today.
