Our Wedding

Chimere and Senami met at Texas Tech University in August of 2015. We were studying the same major so naturally, our paths crossed as classmates through shared classes and campus events. During our time in college we only remained cordial acquaintances. Years passed and fate had us both living in the Dallas area in 2019 where we reconnected over brunch. This is where our love story truly began because from that moment, our friendship blossomed rapidly through shared interests, backgrounds and aspirations despite Senami moving thousands of miles to California for work. Even with the long distance, we became inseparable and our relationship evolved beyond friendship. We became accountability partners, business partners, praying and fasting partners. And on May 25th, 2020, Chimere decided he needed to take the relationship to the next level and officially asked to become a couple.

How Did We Meet

On this fateful day, Senami thought she was attending her friend’s graduation dinner in downtown Houston while she believed Chimere was out of state for work. On the way to dinner, her friends “randomly” decided to stop by a rooftop bar to grab a few quick drinks and admire the view of the Houston Skyline. Upon stepping out of the elevator, Senami saw some videographers and caught a glimpse of a familiar face in the crowd ahead. While still processing what was going on, she realized Chimere was on the rooftop with a gentle smile, standing in front of a giant white heart with the words “Will you marry me?” in bright neon lettering. As the realization begun to set in, the tears started to flow as she made her way through the red carpet to meet Chimere on one knee. After hearing his heartfelt reasons for wanting to spend his life with her, she said YES!! At this point, their close friends and family came out of their hiding spots to celebrate them! "Senami truly exemplified the qualities, values and morals I consider necessary in a lifelong partner, in a WIFE. Getting to know her through the years and learning about her gentle, kind, patient, loving, hardworking and persevering soul has been a blessing. Above all, her love for God and desire to walk in His name has allowed me to continue to be the best version of myself. Asking her to be my wife was an easy decision to make, guided by the direction of God through prayers. I could not be more excited for the day she officially says, 'I do'".
