Weddings often start with unexpected encounters, and in the case of Ruth and Emmanuel, a dose of fate played its part on high stakes exam day. It was 2017 when these two met in their Post-UTME session with the two sitting side by side in the hall.
began as a casual chat about admission updates soon evolved into something much deeper. Ruth recalls her first offbeat impressions of Emmanuel, his signature “Moses sandals,” which she found eye-catching and made a mental chuckle over. Little did she know that moment was the foundation toward a lifetime of companionship.


The story continues with Emmanuel actively pursuing the relationship. He called now and then with news of his admission, which came among the first batch, an occasion which Ruth appreciated very much as she was still hanging on.


Excitement was in the air when Ruth’s admission came in the third batch for the same course and school. She called Emmanuel right away, and by the time she traveled down from Lagos to campus, he already helped her prepare her hostel. Such an act of kindness sparked a friendship that slowly transformed into a romance.
