How A Bread And Butter Conversation Led To Joan And Lanre 's Journey To Forever

It’s amazing how a bread and butter conversation spearheads this true love story!

Beautiful couple, Joan and Lanre met in 2008 at the university of Lagos.

Joan

Our meeting was just the Almighty God’s doing. No one orchestrated it but God himself. His timing was perfect!

I met Lanre early 2008 and the first thing he asked me was to butter his bread (Literally) which I did without hesitation.

I noticed how surprised he was that I didn’t hesitate, then we got talking and then I noticed we had a lot in common, and damn, he was also very intelligent and had his way with words (even his friends can testify).  I got attracted to him, that was the beginning of this beautiful journey, although, at first I saw him as a friend and but the relationship evolved four months after.

I bless God for the day I met him, over the years I have come to see him as my brother and also my best friend because, he makes me see what i don’t even see in myself, he’s not only intelligent, he’s the man I want to spend the rest of my life with.

Lanre

“Can you help me butter my bread? And she said yes”

I remember those words now, they are golden. It’s a simple question that is being asked every day, I asked that same question that very day and I got more than a buttered bread, I got a woman who is beautiful, intelligent, understanding, caring, supportive, my ride or die, your name says it all Oluwagboadurami (God answered my prayer that day

I never had any Intention to ask her out, I was just looking for a friendly banter, only if I knew the banter would lead to something so gracious. I guess providence smiled on me and made me meet this rare gem, Joan came in to my life and she impacted it. It has been fun all the way.
There had been challenges and we have had our ups and downs. But I thank God for finding my other half. This is the woman who compliments and completes me. If I am asked to do this again and make another choice i will only ask for these things, bread, butter and you…once i get those ingredients the choice will be pretty easy for me to make. I bless the day I met my one and only omocoche.

A Meeting At OAU And The Valentine Night { Tola And Wale}

   Asoebi special present to you the oldies inspired pre-wedding session and love story of Tola and Wale.

     The Couples love story began in February 2006 at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile- Ife. We were both students at the time; we met at one of the most popular lecture theatres called ODLT in OAU. Wale was a student of Electronics and Electrical Engineering while Tola was studying Pharmacy”, says the groom-to-be, Wale.
On that faithful evening, Wale was at the lecture theatre waiting to receive lectures while Tola was there to read. The lecturer (Prof. Adegboyega) came in and one thing he detests is to have students who were not part of the class to be in attendance, he would chase such students out and seize any of their belongings he could lay his hands on. Wale knew already that Tola would be in trouble if she remained in the lecture room so he quickly hinted her she had to leave the lecture room before she got caught. However, that pretty short lecture room incident has changed our lives!

     The Couple's friendship officially kicked off on Valentine’s night, Wale was walking along Tola’s hostel when he met her best friend Adeola. She invited him to the room they shared and that’s how the initial kick off began.
Wale met and mingled with all of Tola‘s friends like he had known them for years (they all assume he was the “boyfriend” anyways) all of this time, Tola too got  to know Wale better in this assumed “boyfriend” , “girlfriend” period. Even though it wasn’t until several months after that Tola officially agreed to a date; she can sure look back now and cherish the memories from that St. Valentine’s Day, and for Wale the wait was definitely worth it!
‘We are excited to start our lives together!’ says Wale.

I love you. You annoy me more than I ever thought possible, but… I want to spend every irritating minute with you

I love you right up to the moon — and back.

I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.

love you not because of anything you have, but because of something that I feel when I’m near you. Read more at: https://tr.im/gYAoW
