How we met
By the groom, Lanre:

It was a beautiful, hot, summer day in June. I got talking to a mutual friend of ours, Sade. I asked her if she had any friend she could match-make me with but she said ‘No.’ So, I set out on a mission to find the girl of my dreams. I got myself comfy, flipped open my MacBook and headed straight to Sade’s Facebook profile. I scrolled through her Facebook friends till I found my needle in the haystack, my Queen, ‘Dupsy Baby’. I pulled up Dupe’s profile picture and asked Sade those some important, background check questions. It was love at first sight especially when I saw the matching gold tooth in Dupe had. LOL

I confidently clicked ‘Add as friend.’ Dupe accepted my friend request and we soon exchanged numbers. We spent literally ALL day and night on the phone, talking about everything and nothing, all at the same time. I asked Dupe to meet up and after our third date, I walked her to the train station and asked if she would be my girlfriend. She screamed YES and I was so excited. It was official. I went home, got comfy, flipped open my MacBook again, and headed straight to my profile status. ‘Ellz Bits is married to Dupsy Baby.’
