How they met - The Bride
Our story is a pretty long one so I’ll just try to
shorten it… lol. We met around 2009 through a mutual friend and we gradually
became friends. What I thought was mere friendship gradually developed into
something more, we became quite close after series of chats on Facebook, yahoo
messenger and periodic phone calls. We lost touch for the better part of 2010,
although at that time we had only seen twice.
We later met at an event sometimes in April 2011 but this
time around we both couldn’t let go. Hahaha….. Finally and officially, we
started dating February 2012 and now the rest is history!

The Proposal - The Bride
2012|2013 was pretty occupied for us. We had loads of
different life encounters to get through together, like birthdays, grandma’
funeral, friend’s weddings, brother’s wedding, getting a new apartment and the
likes. In the middle of all these we were silently talking about
marriage. So I thought he would propose before the end of 2013 but to my
surprise he didn’t and I was kinda disappointed.
2014 came and we continued making plans together for the
future and all. He was keen about meeting my dad and in February 2014 he met my
dad officially and they gisted briefly, although my dad had always seen him in
the house. To cut the long story short we started planning our Introduction and
in my mind I kept thinking ‘oga o na so this bobo no go propose?”
So on this very sunny Saturday, 15th March 2014 I got back
from work and he showed up at my place saying we should go to the Island and I
was like “huh, just like that?” I just complained of being tired and all but
after a little persuasion I got dressed and we ended up at Radisson Blu pool
side bar. The weather had cooled down at this time and the atmosphere was very
relaxing so we ordered for drinks and got talking, and then I noticed his stare
was intense and he kept asking questions like “you know at this point there is
no turning back?” “this is all me nothing more” and I kept saying “yea I know”
holding my hand together with something that felt like a box, he asked
“Ajoke, between you and me and God, no drama, will you marry me? He
opened the box and then I smiled and said “yes” with my heart beating so fast.
Then suddenly it started raining, we called for the bill and
ran to the car…
I’ll tag that night dancing in the rain. Lol

It has been
a rewarding and amazing journey so far. Enitan is without a doubt the most
amazing man. He completely changed my life. From the moment I connected with
him; my life has never been the same. He showed me a completely different type
of love. He is a man after God’s own heart, full of knowledge, wisdom and most
of all patience, he loves me in a way I had never been loved before, a type of
love I never knew even existed. I honestly believe I am the most favoured woman
ever. The weeks flew into months and months into years. It has been an amazing
ride. Yes, we have had our fair share of challenges but we always worked it
out. I love him more each and every day - Ajoke
