How we met
By the bride, Dupe:

Ben and I first crossed paths at a celebration in Could 2019 and solely exchanged a fast ‘Hello’. He ended up asking my buddy to ask me to a video games evening he was having the following weekend the place as soon as once more, we barely spoke to one another. It wasn’t till August, at one other get together, that we really related. That evening, he requested me to be his wingman, however to my shock, he rejected each lady I identified. As a substitute, we spent your entire evening speaking. When the get together ended, we moved to a unique location and saved the dialog going till it was time to go residence. He dropped me off however by no means requested for my quantity, which, oddly sufficient, left an impression.

Over the following few months, we saved operating into one another, and each time we did, we’d spend hours speaking. We knew we appreciated one another however didn’t act on it, each of us have been in a spot the place we weren’t prepared for a relationship and deep down, we knew that if we did get collectively, it wouldn’t be informal. Our chemistry didn’t go unnoticed, although, buddies would typically ask if one thing was occurring between us as a result of, apparently, we gave off “that vibe”. We tried to remain simply buddies, however if you really like somebody, that’s simpler stated than finished. Finally, we stopped speaking altogether.

In 2020, we determined to reconnect and managed to construct a real friendship. Then, in 2021, Ben acquired a job in Lagos. Every week earlier than he was set to depart, we lastly had an sincere dialog about our emotions and determined to offer it an actual shot. What adopted was 9 months of long-distance, full of calls, visits, and a number of endurance. In April 2022, he moved again to Abuja and we lastly acquired the chance to nurture the connection we had been constructing, it was a time full of enjoyable, laughter and great moments. In November 2023, he proposed. And the remaining, as they are saying, is historical past. Trying again, our story was by no means rushed. It unfolded precisely the way in which it was meant to, on the proper time and in the correct manner. And now, we get to jot down the following chapter collectively.
