Our Story
He was a boy, and she was a girl. Two nineteen-year-olds who, at their first meeting, refused to
salute each other — yet walked away with a lingering sense of something they could not yet express.
Something small, yet warm. Something quiet, yet loud.
This is our story: that somewhere along the line, these two nineteen-year-olds — unbeknownst to
each other — would become the best of friends, each spurring the other on toward greater things,
until they could no longer deny what was always true: they were meant to be.
It is the story of a love without borders — birthed in Nigeria and strengthened across a journey
spanning three continents — until they return home, hand in hand, willingly, to be joined in holy
matrimony.
This is the story of Merit, a woman with the purest of hearts, who, though loved by all who meet
her, found her peace in his arms — Joseph's arms.
This is a story that will endure forever by the mercies of the Father, who rejoices from His throne
as His children bring Him honour within the bounds of marriage. And to you, dearest reader, we hope
you will become a part of this story through your presence at our wedding — an honour we will
cherish forever.
