How we met
By the bride, Omowunmi:

One evening, I found myself accompanying my best friend, Gbemisola to Ahmed’s house (Taiwo’s brother) as she made inquiries about a gym that Ahmed used to frequent. Little did I know that this seemingly mundane errand would lead me to a serendipitous encounter that would change the course of my life. As we approached his house, we chatted excitedly about our fitness goals, and how intentionally we were going to be with this new lifestyle. Upon reaching the doorstep, we were received warmly by Ahmed… and there, seated on the couch by the corner of the living room, with a smile so bright and warm at the same time was Taiwo.

His presence was magnetic, his eyes filled with a quiet warmth and I could barely make any form of eye contact because I was so shy. I couldn’t even act right, so I went down on both knees to greet him. I was so embarrassed. He then responded “please stand up I am a young person”. In that moment, time seemed to stand still as our gazes locked, and I felt an inexplicable connection sparking between us. He was so obvious showing his emotions because he was just following me everywhere. He even escorted me back home. The next morning low and behold, I saw this man by the door of my house, in a whole gym attire saying he also wants to start going to the same gym. That marked the beginning of a journey filled with patience, kindness, and a love with my forever person that would illuminate even the darkest of nights.
