How they met…
We first met in 2011 when Deborah was visiting her aunt in the US for the first time. Her aunt was a family friend of Bolu’s mom and was living with them. So Deborah’s family ended up staying at Bolu’s home for several weeks. At first glance, she was shy and a little intimidated because her English-speaking was limited but after a few days, we ended up talking and getting along well. At the end of her stay, we exchanged email contacts and kept in touch as friends for several years.
Their first date…
We actually never had a first date because we started dating long distance.
The proposal…
It was during Christmas Holiday. Bolu came for a few days in France. Bolu knew this short trip of 7 days would be the one where he would propose. Since we already started planning the wedding, Bolu had to wait until the very last day in order to keep the surprise. He let Deborah’s family know that he would propose on that night. After dinner, Deborah prayed. At the end of the prayer and before everyone opened their eyes, Deborah’s elder sister played one of our favorite songs. Then Bolu got on his knees and the rest is history.
When they knew they found “the one”…
As we were getting closer and closer over the years of being friends, we were getting more assurance that we were the one for each other. And God confirms it as we started our journey.
Engagement session & theme…
It was such a wonderful experience. We never had shot together so it was really fun and Guillaume, our photographer, made this first time shooting an amazing experience. He knew how to guide us and what to tell us to make us comfortable. We didn’t have a theme but we wanted to showcase different outfits that represent us.
Favorite thing to do as a couple…
Our favorite thing is to cook together. We love eating good food.
