Kwaku and Lucy crossed paths for the first time in 2012 on Twitter, when he slid in the dm and asked for Lucy’s BBM pin but that sting did not last. They reconnected in 2015 via Snapchat and became fast friends. There was nothing they could not tell each other and kept in touch every day.
All this happened while thousands of miles away from each other; Kwaku in New Jersey and Lucy in Ghana. Kwaku visited Ghana in 2016 for the first time since moving to the US. The first in-person meeting was at the Achimota Mall on December 5th, 2016, where Lucy out of nervousness locked her car keys in her car and Kwaku came to the rescue. Neither of them could deny that there was chemistry but both knew that would be a long shot, their friendship was more important.
When Lucy relocated to Connecticut the next year to pursue her MBA, they knew the stars were aligned as if this were meant to be. With the help of friends and after months of planning, Kwaku proposed to Lucy in March 2018 at the Bellagio Botanical Garden in Vegas. And she said yes! The rest is history.
