They say everything happens for a reason and we can’t agree more. Sometimes, those seemingly unpleasant situations could just lead you to something or someone special.
Even though Kikie and Victor met after witnessing a car accident 15 years ago, you will agree with us when we say their encounter was no accident. They found love and have grown deeper in it with each passing day. They are taking a sweet ride to forever and we are super pumped for these two. Their pre-wedding photos are so stunning and we can feel the love in each frame… You’ll certainly feel it too as you scroll.

How we met
By the groom, Victor:
Ours is a love that started 15 years ago in Peace Mass Transit’s Abuja to Lagos route. The journey started with us and other passengers witnessing an accident right in front of our very eyes along the Abuja-Lokoja expressway. This led to one of the defining moments of our lives… our meeting. It was certainly not an accident.

But most importantly, in 15 years we have grown. Grown to understand, that there is perfection when imperfect beings come together to make a union perfect. We dedicate our lives to each other. Now we decided to take the bold step to build a home together as it has always been her and no one else.
