And then came this beauty, along with her friend, who had come to ask a favour from my department - my table is the one she approached. Of course, I was only too glad to oblige her, and give her a feedback a few days later . . . and create a communication channel with this fun 'Ijebu dazzle'.We started out on a very interesting friendship journey, and quite naturally progressed to courtship stage. Wasn't it quite interesting how my Father's birthday in August 2008 witnessed the presence of a guest known to me alone! My father was thrilled; it was the first time I was introducing him to a girlfriend. And this wasn't just any girl; he liked this one already!
Our love relationship only got sweeter, and then, one fine day in a November, on our way to Abeokuta for a close couple's wedding, I asked her to reach for a package I had left in the glove-compartment of the car. She got the package, produced the engagement ring within it, and there I proposed to her. Our keener gaze on the altar thus began on the 24th of November, 2009.
The deal was sealed on Saturday, July 24, 2010 when we exchanged vows and became a spiritually & lawfully wedded couple. Already our count of days of bliss has reached the year meter, and today, I stand proudly as the husband of the amazing and thoroughly beautiful Queen of the Abayomi-Sosan clan. It has been a fun journey and I have totally enjoyed marriage with a companion I am hardly worthy of; it has almost been a fairy tale! Being married to my jewel has been a life of exposure to new levels of love, and I cannot help but look to the decades ahead with an assurance of more from this God-made life of 'a bed of roses'!!
