Our Journey

Our Love Story

Every love story is beautiful, but ours is our favorite.

June 2023

A Seed Planted 🌱

Every love story starts somewhere — ours began with a conversation. Chidera was a young software developer, fresh out of Imo State University, waiting to begin her NYSC journey. Through a long-standing family connection, her name came up in a casual conversation with my dad. I didn’t know her yet, but I liked what I heard. Curious, I reached out to my younger brother, who had been mentoring her, only to be told, “If you want to know her, go and find out yourself.” So I did. On June 3rd, 2023, I reached out — nervous but hopeful. What began as professional mentorship slowly turned into genuine friendship.

August – September 2023

From Mentors to Something More 💻❤️

What started as guidance soon became connection. Working closely together allowed us to see beyond code and projects. We laughed, learned, and grew — not just as professionals, but as people. When I finally expressed my feelings, Chidera set a boundary: she couldn’t date someone she hadn’t met in person. Distance stood between us, but we agreed to let the first meeting decide.

October 2023

October 13th — Love Chose Us 🎬🏖️

On October 12th, 2023, we met for the first time in Lagos. Our first date was at the movies, but the film didn’t stand a chance against her smile. The next day at Badagry Beach, I asked the question — and she said yes. That moment marked the official beginning of us.

2024 – 2025

Built to Last — From Yes to Forever 💍

When Chidera began her NYSC, we ensured distance would never test us again. Posted to Ogun State, we built a life rooted in faith, friendship, and shared dreams. On May 28th, 2025, we sealed our union traditionally. Now, as we prepare for our white wedding, we look back knowing this journey was always meant to lead here.

Best Man

Fondly known as Father Ebuka, Matthew is a man of faith, depth, and uncommon resilience. Brilliant, disciplined, hardworking, and focused, he is the kind of person who stands firm in hard times. You don’t need a motivational speaker when you have Matthew — he lives his gospel. With him by your side, giving up simply isn’t an option; as we like to say, you can’t have a Matthew and give up… we die here 😄. His loyalty, strength, and unwavering support make him more than a friend — he’s family.
