This is a wedding magazine special edition for a couple marrying on 10th October 2026. It is a personal love story written by the groom for the bride, intended for their guests and anyone celebrating their union.
The narrative begins with the groom's first memory of seeing the bride in 2011 at All Souls Church, Bodija. He describes his shyness and how he initially mistook her for a visiting cousin. A mutual friend, Tomilade, later connected them through the church media unit.
The story continues with a youth forum trip to Olumirin Waterfalls (Erin-Ijesha) in Osun state. The groom almost did not attend but was convinced by his brother and sister. At the falls, the bride initiated a conversation, and they climbed to the seventh floor with a tour guide named Rosemary.
After the trip, the bride found the groom on Facebook and they began chatting regularly. Their friendship grew through a group called Church Siblings, which included Oluwamayowa, Aderinsola and Rosemary. They celebrated birthdays, attended camps and picked outfits together.
The groom recounts their special bond, including calling each other 'My Sprite Love' because they both loved Sprite. He describes how she was the only person allowed to touch his hair. Their friendship continued through demanding jobs in Lagos and Ibadan, with regular video calls and visits.
The final section explains why they did not date earlier. The groom thought their genotypes were incompatible until April 2024 when she corrected him. He proposed on January 14 2025 after praying and speaking with Mummy Ike. The bride's initial silence was followed by continued daily conversations.
