My Story - Adewale
"...believe in the Lord your God and you shall be established, believe in His prophets and you shall prosper (2 Chronicles 23;20).
On January 1, 2013, Dr. Mike Murdock said to me via Twitter, he said, "Son, in 2013, you will build 12 significant relationships". It did not make sense to me but I believed the prophet of the Lord and on January 7, 2013, I met this beautiful Proverbs 31 woman on Facebook, you may be surprised but I tell you that God talks through the social media; the biggest blessings of my life last year happened through Blackberry, Twitter and Facebook. I discovered that we both attended Bowen University and we were both from Ekiti State (South-west Nigeria). We became instant friends and although we had some challenges at the beginning because of the distance, God confirmed through various signs that she was indeed the woman for me, the bone of my bone and the flesh of my flesh. I wonder how I have been living without her. She's my babe, lover, best friend, little mummy, advisor, barber (she shaves my beards), my queen, prayer partner, runway model and many more; I love her to pieces.
We had our registry on December 5, 2013 so she's officially my wife, the traditional and white wedding is going down on February 15 by God's grace, we thought to share our pre- wedding pictures and also share the profile of our grooms men and brides maids. We cannot get married without these wonderful people being a part of the day. Enjoy...
My Story - Oluwatoyin
One fateful day on January 7,2013 was the day my life changed forever. It was during my National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and I was browsing through Facebook when I saw the picture of this cute guy; he was my friend on Facebook and we had mutual friends but it was my first time of seeing him so I sent him a hello*wink* and he replied. Soon he asked for my number and I gave it to him then he called few days later and I asked him to call back because I was sleeping *wink*. He called back and we started talking; then he got my Blackberry pin and we started dating a month later.
We had a lot of ups and downs but that stopped when I told him I would be visiting Lola and Wumi (2 of my bridesmaids) who were serving in Benin *wink*. We got well acquainted with each other and he proposed to me a day after my NYSC.
I am so happy I found my husband; he is a real man. My prayer is that God should keep on doing his work in our lives. Love you my king.
