During my second year at York University, I met my Tola. I tried talking to her for the next 3 weeks, and on the 4th week, I realized she just got into a relationship with another guy (my luck). From that point on, we became just friends.
I met her again during Christmas two years ago, and we just hit it off.
I knew from the second I saw her that I wanted to marry her, even before I heard her voice. She is beautiful, and I could tell she had lots of positive energy. As I got to know her better, this feeling proved to be correct.
I never thought this was possible until I experienced it with Tola. We live in two different bodies but share a single soul. We talk in one single language: love, and one of the things we are good at is caring for each other. She is a gem of a person, and everything she does makes me jump with joy. Her presence in my life means the world to me. The strength she gives me is incomparable, and I feel that I can achieve anything when I have her by my side. Her laugh takes all my worries away and brightens up my day.
I love her beyond words; she is my sweetheart, and I will continue to do so now and forever. Please thank her for becoming the love of my life and saying yes to marrying me.
Before being the love of my life, Ololade has always been a true friend to me, and I wholeheartedly appreciate him for that. When we first met, my first thoughts were "He's very sweet", and although he made his intentions very clear to me, we continued on as friends.
Throughout our time of getting to know one another, he always had an encouraging word for me and he has always believed in me (even when many times, I did not believe in myself). Even while I was in medical school, he was one text away, never forgot my birthdays, and checked in on me regularly. When I would fly home for the holidays/breaks, he would reach out to hang out (LOL he somehow always knew when I was on my way to Canada, I never understood how).
Falling in love with him has been easy. He is my every answered prayer, and a true reflection of God's love for me. He is thoughtful, patient, gentle and kind-hearted. The over-whelming peace I feel with him is indescribable. Our relationship has been a culmination of many organized flights and well-planned dates, fasting and praying together and long conversations late at night about our plans for the future. The decision to say yes to being his wife was the simplest one I have made and I am excited to continue to grow in love everyday.
