Our Wedding

Our story is a classic case of "His story and Her story", because we both have different versions of How we met. Interesting... right? I'll be telling “His story”; that's my version of our forever story. It all started on a hot Sunday afternoon after church service. The sun had a perfect smile, and the wind smelled like a messenger carrying the scent of rose. Blessing saw an angel in human form, and he thought for a sec that it was the perfect dream or a trance. until .... Don't worry, I'm not about to start a career as a novelist. LOL, this is me being goofy. I guess it's the whole wedding effect. Our story began sometime in July 1998, oh sorry, I mean 2018, at Alpha Cathedral (Our church's HQ in Ibadan). At that time, I was always shuttling between Ibadan and Lagos… it’s safe to say that I was a busy guy minding his business, and she was doing her NYSC in Ibadan. I was a member of the Protocol team of my church, and I usually wear a "no nonsense face" when I'm on duty. On this fateful day, a lady approached me to ask if she could see the Pastor. I must confess that I was struck and blown away by her stunning appearance, but as a sharp guy, I managed to comport myself during the short conversation. It is noteworthy to state that this is the first time I'll see her. I'm saying this because, when you read her story, you might want to doubt me, but please believe me when I say I've not noticed her until this blessed day. After that day, we usually just exchange smiles and pleasantries until one fateful Wednesday evening after mid-week service. I approached the sound team to ask for the message of that service. I guess the guy was in a hurry to go home because he appealed to me to collect it from the lady that just left, saying that he had just sent it to her. Guess who the lady he was referring to was... You guessed right; it was Adewumi. As a legacy member of the extraordinary gentlemen's club, I approached her in a cool, calm, and collected way (I would like to think). Interestingly, I went back home with the message and her phone number (winks). I sincerely didn't know how that happened; it was as if my tongue had a mind of its own and just went ahead to ask for her number without my permission (Imagine the effrontery). Surprisingly, I didn't call her for about 3 weeks. I guess I was still surprised that my tongue could betray me like that. Actually, it's not what you're thinking; I wasn't nervous or anxious; I was just very busy at that time. Eventually, I called her one evening in the month of September, and We ended up talking for over 3 hours. I'll leave the exact hours to your imagination. In my opinion, after that conversation, we both knew it was only a matter of time. I will be sitting on my bed typing this piece. As they say "The rest is history!".

His Story

Few months after I became a member of Harvest Christian Centre, I enrolled in the workers academy to be part of the workforce. On March 4, 2018, I had just finished my posting in the Sanctuary department and was getting ready to sign off and, of course, head home.&nbsp;For some reason, the head of department&nbsp;requested that we clean up after the service before we left.&nbsp; As I cleaned, a guy crossed the path I had just finished cleaning, I was furious and about to speak, but as I turned to face him, I heard in my spirit, "He is your husband". I paused for a few seconds and continued to clean without uttering a word. From that day on, we started to make eye contact and we never stopped running into each other. It was Bukunmi, as you might have correctly predicted. He apologised and minded his business. He would account for this differently by saying, "He never noticed me," but this is my story. 🤣 During this season of my life, I was indecisive with respect to relationships. Although I was content, I also did have a number of guys who wanted to marry this gorgeous girl😊. There was no gainsaying the fact that I needed God's guidance to handle the pressure , hehe... I'm grateful that God saw me through it. Oh well, as for Bukunmi, I just couldn't shake off my mind the words- ''he is your husband"- hence, I spoke to God about it,&nbsp;wrote it in my journal and told my sister. I was confident that with time, things would unveil itself, if it was the case. After the midweek service on July 25, 2018, I waited to get the sermon for the day from the media team. Bukunmi approached me shortly after and said, "I heard you just got the message from the media team. Could you please share it with me?" I did and we ended up having a random chat and we exchanged numbers, lol. He never called until the 2nd of September 2018, which was about a month and a few days after our intial chat— that might not be exact because I didn't keep track of it. We talked for hours, very much like childhood friends who had recently reconnected. He made his intentions known on our first date and many other dates have followed. As I leaned into God, He made it apparent to me that I was on the right path. We remained friends which gave us the opportunity to learn about each other. As days turned into weeks and weeks into months, our conviction grew that it is indeed a match made by God.&nbsp; Eventually, in February 2019, I consented to our relationship! Here we are, ready to walk&nbsp;the aisle and embark on this lifetime journey! My joy knows no bounds. If there is one thing I have learnt from this, it is that God is faithful to His Word&nbsp;and that patience is such a staple when it comes to walking with God. If He said it, He always brings it to pass!
