Sophie and McEva |
Happy Monday kfbers!
Welcome to today’s edition of the weekly ‘KFB True Love Story series’ which features newly weds, Sophie and McEva.
The couple met in traffic while the groom was giving alms to the less privileged, here’s the full story, narrated by the bride.
Abuja, I saw a guy giving some money to a little boy, when the others
noticed, about 12/15 of them gathered around him to help them as well,
and I thought to myself “this cute guy just got himself into trouble”.
He gave them some money and they fled. Somehow, our eyes met and I
kept smiling, the traffic light turned green and I drove off to my
destination. Turns out he was also heading to Silverbird to meet up with
a friend. When I got down from my car, i realised he was parked just
next to me unknowingly.
He then approached me and said Hi and Introduced himself politely
as McEva Temofe, I laughed and asked him if he was from Zimbabwe or
something. I didn’t think the name sounded Nigerian, but he said he was a
Nigerian from Delta state. I was impressed meeting a cute Deltan
because I’m also from Delta State and was just hearing the name for the
first time.
So I poked further and asked if he was one of those ‘Abj guys’
that change their names and he confirmed it was his real name.
That was
how we continued our conversation, exchanged numbers and went on to
become best friends and the rest they say is history. It’s funny we met
here in Abuja and my village is just 2 villages away to his in Delta
State. I’m so blessed to have him.”
Proposal story a narrated by the groom:
it didn’t only gladden my heart, I felt fulfilled. Thank you for
standing by me when I was drowning. Thank you for seeing what I
visioned.
being a team player in boardrooms. Thank God for your humility and
exceptional good character. Thank you for about changing your name for
mine. Thank you for responding the day I said “Hi”
was another treasure better than diamonds, I would have bought them for
you. You deserve these fine stones on your finger LOVE. God made and
bless the day I ran into you!
