The story doesn't make sense.

1. He is a doctor residing abroad. And you convinced him to visit Nigeria. He did and he introduced you to his family within the 5 days he stayed.

2. On Valentine's day, he was on call and returned with a gift. ( I thought he visited for only 5 days).

3. In 2014, you wanted to return to Nigeria. ( when did you travel? He visited you in Nigeria. Now you are visiting Nigeria too?)

....just saying

Does anybody see any odd in this lady story:
1. The gal fell for the guy once she saw he was in the states
2. Didn't the gal have any guy in her life when the guy(USA) called.
3. From the moment she noticed he was overseas, she was the one who started putting more interest in the guy
4. 5days and she just rush into his marriage proposal when she know next to nothing bout the guy after forming all through for him
5. How old is she when she married the guy.

To me the gal was just desperate so the guy can take her out of this country. To me, all this NA WASH. Any way, happy married life

When faith meets destiny, history is made. This simplifies the love story of Frances and Desmond.

They got married last weekend but their love story is beautiful!

As narrated by the bride

Fourteen years ago when we first met, I had no idea where the road was taking me but was soon to find out. According to my husband, he first saw me on campus when I was a Jambite and tried to talk to me but I bluntly said “Sorry I don’t talk to strangers”.

Our paths crossed again in my final year in UNIBEN, a memorable night when I hung out with him, his twin brother and his friends. I was actually invited to complete the guys to girls pairing as he was the only one without a date but not knowing I was actually going to be meeting my husband. There was a striking chemistry between us but it seemed like a love tale that ended that night.

After I graduated from school in 2005, I moved to Lagos and Desmond completed Med School the following year. We kept in touch through text messaging and infrequent phone calls. Coincidentally, I saw him again in Lagos towards the end of 2006 as I happened to be serving on the same road where he did his houseman ship. Even after the long gap, it was still hard for him to come to terms with the fact that we couldn’t work things out. Thereafter, we lost contact again as he relocated to the states.

Fast forward to December 2013, I received an extraordinary surprise message from Desmond on Facebook. He didn’t say much but from the way he constructed his words, I couldn’t help but conclude that the guy was still in love with me. My warm response to him triggered a series of messaging that ended up in a phone call.

We tried to manage a long distance relationship for about 10 months and I was finally able to convince him to visit Nigeria. We had not seen in 8 years so I was excited but anxious even though we had been communicating a lot on phone (no Skype or video calls). When he visited, he surprisingly introduced me to all his family (from mum, dad to his siblings). I was not expecting that all but it showed me how far he was willing to take the relationship. His visit was really short (5 days) but it was one of the best 5 days of my life. I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him.

THE PROPOSAL

February 2014, he was on call the night before so he came back home early in the morning bearing gifts. We went for dinner later in the evening and then hung out at a bar where we had an argument. (Desmond can be very inquisitive and can ask questions that will frustrate Mother Theresa. LOL) so he had frustrated me with his questions, I snapped and he told me “you know what I don’t think we can work.” My plan was to leave the next day and stay with my friend until I returned back to Nigeria’



So we got back home after he “spoilt’ our valentine outing. I was lying down in the sitting room and he came to kneel close to me and started apologizing and asking me more questions! (Imagine my frustration). Before I knew what was happening Desmond had pulled out a ring box and asking me to be his wife. I started laughing hard and asking him questions too “where did you put the ring?” “who knows you are proposing?” I was shocked but of course I said YES!!! to the love of my life. The rest is history.

As much interesting as the story might have sounded, there is still something that the Couple should watch out for.
The issue of asking frustrating questions to each other. They might need to work on the relationship further.
I wish them all the very best...

Wedding receptions often succeed or fail
based on the performance of
the MC. If the MC isn't entertaining, or even
worse, makes jokes in poor taste,
it reflects negatively on the bride and groom.
If you want your reception to be classy, run
smoothly, and
be as wonderful as it can be, at a pocket-
friendly price, contact A Professional MC on
07030828285, BBM PIN: 565085F0. You can

Looking forward to hearing from you! Please pass it on; you may be helping someone who needs this info.
