Our Story
The Beginning
I had just returned back from a trip in New York City and received a phone call from my friend in the UK. We had caught up on my trip and then she said, “I have someone I’d like to introduce you to, if you are open to it ?” I simply responded with, “Sure, open to meeting people and making new friends”. Once I got off the phone and was about to head down for lunch, I got a message on my phone.It all started with a simple, “Hello I am Obi and got your number from my friend Nnamdi. He and his wife spoke highly of you and how awesome you are. I figured, I’d say hello and introduce myself”. I was happy to see his message and responded. Since November 2022, we’ve been friends and our relationship has grown into something beautiful.
Our love is built on the foundation of friendship. They say marry your friend and that is exactly what we have for each other; friendship, kindness and respect. Obi had travelled to Nigeria for his niece's wedding. Despite being in Nigeria, he was persistent in his communication. He actually remembered to say, “Happy Thanksgiving” ! I noticed he always kept his word, no matter how small. The little things like a call back, remembering my work schedule and supporting me in my business caught my attention. It’s been a long distance relationship but the distance has not kept us apart. I am glad we found each other and are holding on together to start our journey together as husband and wife.
