In October 2017, one faithful day while scrolling through my Tumblr page, I came across Sandra’s profile and it immediately got my attention. My initial thought was who is this beautiful lady and where does she live? I instantly loved that she was boldly sharing and blogging about Christ. I went searching for her and followed her on other social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook. After following her on social media, I discovered that we had some mutual friends and that Sandra and I lived in the same state (Maryland). This was a huge relief LOL! I decided to message Sandra on Facebook but she never opened the message because she rarely used Facebook at that point. I was so insistent on following through with my plans to get Sandra’s attention, so I had to figure out another way to get a hold of her and at least initiate a conversation. Luckily for me, Instagram stories had just become a thing during that time so now all I had to do was wait for the perfect opportunity to get in there. I waited very patiently watching and observing Sandra’s stories in the background. One Saturday afternoon, Sandra posted something on her story that was very funny and grabbed my attention. That was the perfect opportunity for me to strike up a conversation.

 We are one of those “we met on Twitter” couple. I randomly replied to a tweet from a mutual friend of ours on Twitter. Dude went to check my profile and saw “talkative” there. Being a guy who loves to have great conversations, he sent a DM with a casual “hello” which I’d have ignored on a regular day, but this day wasn’t regular, so I replied. Yo!!! In 3 days of talking, it felt like we had known each other for at least a decade. A few weeks later, I had fallen in love with him and was sure he was the one. Meanwhile, for some reason, Bro said he wasn’t ready to take things to the next level Bride: @ife_sanni Groom: @gabriel_specter Couple: @_thespecters Makeup: @shosglam Photography: @koredeogunsakin Dress: @stitched_by_teak #lovetalesbyamaka

   IFrom the moment I met Posi, I knew our connection was something special. We had always known about each other and even had the same circle of friends. But it wasn’t until August 2014 that our story truly began. It all started with a tweet. I had shared something on Twitter and a mutual friend of ours quoted my tweet and responded to it, which led Posi to also respond. This simple act led to our first unofficial interaction. Later that day, Posi took the opportunity to slide into my DMs, and we began chatting. What made the conversation even more natural and comfortable was the fact that we not only had mutual friends, but Posi had recently started attending the same church as me. It provided us with a common ground to build our friendship upon, and it felt like the universe was gently nudging us towards each other.  Bride: @rahilaedward Makeup: @mosewabeauty_ Planner and coordinator: @iam_confeedence Outfit: @tojufoyeh Bridal stylist: @femisola_a Videography: @fdoming...

 I had been planning his 30th birthday surprise dinner for months because I wanted it to be perfect, he really deserved it. A few weeks to the birthday dinner, his younger sister convinced him to propose earlier and hinted that I was planning something for him and it would be a wonderful way to surprise me. I started to suspect literally all my friends because I’m able to pick on the tiniest detail but he managed to sell me another story about some other event happening on his birthday (the surprise party was set for the day before) and I believed he would propose on his actual birthday instead. We got to the venue of the surprise dinner, with all of our friends that I had invited for his birthday waiting. Just that this time, they were waiting for me and I ended up being the surprised one.  Bride-to-be: @thecassandracollins| Photography: @thesamuelabati Proposal Planning, coordination and decor @the.jobaoguntola | @themelxperience Birthday planning and coordination @pasheda |...
