I am one of those people that love ‘love’, that listens to every word of a romantic song, movie and story and can shed a tear or two…I believe no matter what, Love always finds a way!
Here is a pre-wedding story…

















Her Story…

I had really started giving up on love, I thought this love stuff may actually just be a cliche and I might just end up settling for less but I guess I was wrong 🙂

Towards the ending of 2011 I had been praying about the right man and I told God “please take away who is not meant to be, no matter how painful it may be” and God did just that! I had some painful break-ups and hitches and went for my Masters degree and stayed off relationships.

While I was serving earlier in 2011, I met a guy and we became friends, he always joked around that I must marry into his family and all that, I always waved it off and said ‘hook-ups’ and ‘link-ups’ never worked for me. So In March, 2012 when I came for our mama-blogger obehi’s wedding, I still met this friend who kept insisting on me marrying into his family and that infact he had a single brother but I had just switched off my mind from link-ups.




One beautiful April morning, a call woke me up, I usually don’t pick calls from new numbers at 8am! But weirdly I did and this fella introduced himself as a brother to my friend I met while serving. So this fella keeps gisting and sounded so excited that I wondered ‘what a dramatic guy…not my type’ he even ended the call by saying a sounding ‘Have a BLESSED day!I thought to myself ‘he is real drama!’loll…but a part of me was excited, cordial and kinda looking forward to his next call. So he kept calling and our friendship started growing; I noticed I was at peace when talking to him even with the long distance! He also spurred me towards the things of God, encouraging my firm commitment to serving God and I loved that about him!

I loved that we were a bit traditional, as we started off with lots of his calls(I was tired of the BB pin exchange first leading to over-see finish too quick loll..) And so from calls we graduated to BB pins and then to Skype! :)I literally was so tensed for the first Skype call.


A few months after the completion of my programme, He finally on bended knees popped the question! over a beautiful Chinese dinner (that I could not eat from excitement lool..). Its been lovely planning the wedding though challenging at times but I look forward to staring into his eyes and say “I DO”


Advise
Hand Over everything to God and that includes your relationships because He is everything and He knows what is best for u!

Keep an open mind because u just might not know what God is bringing your way! It could be a beautiful hearted man disguised in link-ups that you hate 🙂





His story…

Gosh where do I start? Okay let me take you back to the beginning…. Kanang and I never had the common love story maybe because it started thanks to God for technology. We never met physically. It all began with a strange call from my eldest brother who told me about a lady whom he felt I should get to know because as he said “She is a wife material”.

Convinced by my brother’s words, I asked for her details, that’s when I got the shocker that she was out of the country. Ok let me say this, I never believed in Facebook/ internet love or distant relationship but I was anxious, wanting to know what makes her tick so I decided to break every rule and put a call across to her the next day.

The next day on my way to work, I placed a call but not after rehearsing my toasting lyrics and praying to God that she would have a lovely voice too. Gosh I remember her “HELLO” that voice stole my heart away. I introduced myself and remembered she giggled yeah (she laughs a lot). We spoke for some time and I promised to call back – ending the call with the phrase that has been used to haunt me till this day, “have a blessed day”

I called back after some days, that is after visiting Facebook to find out if she had a lovely face to match that beautiful voice and of course I wasn’t disappointed. I couldn’t help but notice the excitement in her voice throughout conversation. From then on we had long conversations on phone, BB and then we finally graduated to Skype calls.

Finally in the early hours of 14th May 2013 after a year and a month of technology we saw for the first time at the airport. Though she was a little shorter, but she was looking more beautiful than I ever imagined with her admirable puffy cheeks. Years later, we will still be writing our story…
