She wrote on her wedding day, “Finally got married to boo of 9years and 7 months. My beautiful life just started.”
That marked the courtship story of former Miss Busayo Oyedokun, an
event planner, who had always dreamt of having a beautiful wedding.
But dating Ayotunde Ilesanmi, a pilot, she did not get an engagement ring until almost nine years of courting!
The proposal came surprisingly at the wedding reception of Ayo’s twin sister, Ayobowale’s wedding.
Busayo recalled in a post she shared about her beau:
“People sometimes ask how we did it. That we have dated for so
long. I just smile and say what comes to mind (truth). For eight years,
eight months and seven days you were my boyfriend. We have loved,
fought, cried, laughed, broken up (indirectly), encouraged each other,
and corrected each other, stood by each other through thick and thin. I
always boasted that I
Groom, Ayo with twin sister Ayodle would
never cry because I have waited for this day for long but I did not
only cry, I was an onion cutter. Always been called Busayt but a few
people knew it was BusAyotunde. You shocked me as you picked a date very
dear to everyone’s heart to ask me to marry you (your twin sister’s
wedding day. Even when you were far away and it seemed that would be the
end of us, we still somehow worked it out. I am happy I said yes for
the second time and I look forward to the major YES!!! I will always
love you my fiancé Ayotunde Ilesanmi. I am ready to travel the world and
make cute replicas with you. Being Ruth finally paid off.” (sic)
They got married on April 1, 2017 and her groom’s twin sister was the best man!
An elated Busayo explained to Kemiashefonlovehaven: “I got proposed
to on her wedding day last year and no other person would have been
perfect for this position than her. I’ve got all the love for twins
because my own husband is one.” {sic}
