I love this blog! I love my readers all
over the world. I am so blessed and privileged to share these beautiful love
stories with you. It was definitely a wise decision to share Christian love
stories on this blog. If you are getting married or you just got married, we
would love to share your story and pictures also.
I am honored to be sharing the story and
pictures of Tolu and Tunji; Tunji is a brilliant gentleman I met a while back;
on behalf of My Testimonys
Blog, we pray that you have a splendid wedding next weekend. Enjoy...
How we met
In 2012, I met Tolulope
through my younger sister Seun who happened to be a member of her Christian
fellowship back in the University of Ibadan. I had engaged my sister in a
thorough discussion about how hard it was to meet a decent and God fearing
lady. Our discussion had dragged on for three days so she was a bit concerned
about my plight; she mentioned Tolulope but quickly dismissed the fact that I
could start anything with her considering my past relationships.
Few days later I asked
her to link me up but she hesitated since she was not sure of my seriousness.
Eventually I persuaded her by coming up with a strategy to meet up with Tolu. I
asked if Tolu loves reading books and she was affirmative. I then got a book
from her favorite writer and pleaded with Seun to allow me give
it to Tolu on her behalf.
The book titled is The
Lineage of Grace by Francine Rivers.
Proposal
I had been dating Tolu
for about four months and I was convinced to take it further. Planning the
proposal was a great task for me. Hence, I recruited some friends to assist me to
deliver a memorable experience.
It was on Tolu’s
birthday on the 5th of May and I had lied about travelling to Abuja
to deliver a presentation four days before her birthday. As expected she was
sad that I would not be available to celebrate with her. I connived with my
sister, Tolu’s friends, colleague and brother to deliver the surprise. Only two
out of the ten guests were privy of my main intentions, others thought it was
just a surprise birthday party.
Tolu was accompanied
home by my younger sister and her fiancé (now husband) only to see her house
decorated and full of her loved ones. The aroma of grilled fish filled the
air, she hugged everyone present but I was nowhere to be found. Voila! I came
out of hiding and for the first time since I have known Tolu I saw her deepest
smile.
A friend brought out a
DVD titled “Love Lives Here” (see video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqxjQK4gfGg)
and slotted it into the player. I was nervous but the video did half of my
major task for the day.
I brought out some
cupcakes in a box, inscribed on them were the words “BE MY WIFE”. I said some
few words and brought out the engagement ring.
Epilogue
Our introduction was
held on the 14th of December, 2013 and to the glory of God, we’ll be
getting married on Saturday April 19, 2014.
