WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR US
11years and 10 months ago we started a journey....we have gone through alot of ups and downs....but we have only grown stronger...there is no better way to celebrate this love made in heaven than for us to have a wedding that would not be forgotten in a hurry...a wedding that we would tell even our Childrens' children with huge smiles on our faces.
ADA & EMEKA
HOW WE MET
We met on her birthday, when she offered to share a piece of her cake with me and my other classmates, she was sure a beauty. A day after, I went to her to say thank you for her generosity and just then I knew that I would love to be close to her as long as she wanted me to. So I began stalking her, it was very easy to see her around because our school (Covenant University) was well organized with our hostels and classrooms not so far apart. One year after being just friends I asked her out and two days after she gave me a positive reply. Emeka
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR US
We deserve to win because our love for each other is very true and for six years and 5 months we have held on strong and kept it real without any doubt that we are meant for each other. Also, though the wedding is a little of the the great life I promise her, Ada deserves to have the greatest day ever and I want to do everything I can to give it to her. I have been working so hard to give her the best life ever. Winning this contest would allow us to do so much more for our big day; words would not be able to describe how we actually feel.
VIVIAN UYI IGBINOBA & DONALD CHIMEZIE EZEONYIDO
HOW WE MET
We met each other through a friend of the groom to be. The groom (Chimezie) was on a call with his good friend (Kevin) while he was shopping at the mall where my now fiancee ( Vivian) works. I heard her voice on the background and i was mesmerized. Immediately, i asked my friend to pass her the phone but she declined and wouldn't talk to me. Days went by and i just could not get that amazing voice out of my head. Restless, i called my friend and ask him to revisit the mall again, hoping that this time she might give me an audience.To my biggest surprise, she blatantly refused to talk to me insisting that i was a stranger. Though embarrassed as the messenger, my friend persuaded me to give her some time to warm up to the idea of talking to a total stranger. Days, turned to a week, week turns to weeks and i asked my self, how can i be relentlessly and consistently thinking about a girl i have only heard her voice all but once.
Praying over this predicament, i gathered the courage to ask my friend to take a trip to the mall for what i concluded will be the last time. Thankfully, his was deterred but not discouraged. Upon arriving, my now fiancee saw him and chuckled, knowing his reason for his visit, demanded. To me, that moment was magical, a moment already set forth by God. On the day that i had nearly given up hope is the day that she wholeheartedly wanted to see who was on the other end of the phone pressing for just a chance to talk with her. It felt like i won a zillion bucks. We talked for a while then exchange numbers. Since that encounter, i knew that i found a wife. We have become best of friends, Bonnie and Clyde and Ying to each others Yang. Our friendship became forever immortalized on December 22 2012 as we got engaged.

STEPHANIE & VICTOR
HOW WE MET
"I didn't know true love existed before I met her..." "For everyone out there that has not found true love, I can tell you, 'Don’t Give Up.'” As a busy person, I really didn't have time to meet anyone after my last relationship. I met her through a “family friend “ who happened to be her Cousin **wink**wink** after a picture update on her BB Profile. She sent her BB Pin to me unknowingly, I promptly added her and initiated a conversation.Though she was reluctant until her cousin told her. We didn't really talk until a few weeks later. We were telecommuting at that time, I had to work during the day, so we spent hours and hours every day chit chatting , getting to know each other. After some weeks, I suggested we go on a date, surprisingly, I brought the date to her. We became friendly after that first meeting, we had to see movies together and met again a few more times.... ***ADVICE*** • Look for someone you can really talk to about pretty much anything. That kind of mutual support and communication becomes really important as you encounter challenges in your lives and your relationship. • Complimentary viewpoints or interests can sometimes be better than being the exact same. I've grown a great deal as a person just from having someone who doesn't see the world as I do by my side. • Be able to have fun together. No matter what happens, if you can make each other laugh, you'll be okay. The above advice is applicable to us hence the reason for the strong bond **our principle: "To Live, Love and Leave a Legacy"**

HOW WE MET

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR US
we started dating march 2010 but could not further the relationship because our parents were bothered about the religious difference. we broke up twice while trying to convince our parents that our love could withstand whatever might come. His parents came around, then my mom gave her blessings. we deserve to win because it took us 3 years and 6 months to prove to our families that our relationship was solid irrespective of our religious difference and other reservations they had.
JOME & FREDRICK
HOW WE MET
We both attended the same high school, he was two sets ahead of me and he was also a school father to my brother who was a set above me. I had this crush on him way back because of the respect he commanded and his intimidating height plus he was a devoted member of the school fellowship as we were both boarders. ...well from time to time he gave me useful advice and while I listened I would hope he wouldn't see right through me that I had a crush on him(well if i knew back then that he would propose someday to me I would have demanded for more food since he was the food prefect lol*). Well I got stuck with accepting that we could never be more than friends since he was my senior in class plus he had this "ur my pet" kinda likeness for me so I gave up .We both graduated ,went for our youth service, blah blah I didn't know what was happening to him and I doubted if he knew about me as well but he was always in touch with my brother (who I found out later from that he always asked about me) this year he called my brother and I happened to be in his room so I asked to speak with him ,we spoke at length that evening he also promised to call back so he could pray with us and since then it was nights of endless phone calls and chats...we realised that we had more than we thought in common. we were both eager to hook up again after several years had gone by and after our meeting in lagos he stayed a while in lagos and when it was time for him to go back to benin he asked that we both should attend a wedding together in benin. The couple in question both attended our alma mata and both were our friends, little did I know what was gonna happen.
On the bachelor's eve night fred and I were there along with old students from our high school .....it felt like a reunion and at some point I cudnt find fred, I looked around for him and he was nowhere to be found so I returned to the poolside pouting and while I was sitting chatting with friends when fred appeared and gave me a lovely rose and I was like thanks and I hugged him*eyes rolling* cos I felt he was tryna bribe me and besides I was beginning to get bored without him around....but I realised he kept staring at me and d rose and for some reasons I couldn't understand his friends attention were on us .....I was blushing and wondering what was going on and then fred went on his knees and then it hit me....he was saying somethings but the cheers and screams from friends who had gathered round didn't permit me to hear what he was saying so he took the rose from me and behold there was a ring inside it and I laughed at myself cos I was holding my ring all along totally clueless lol I screamed are serious baby? Yes! Yes!! People were pouring champayne on us smh they almost blinded us o...he took me outside and told me he didn't wanna lose me to someone else and since then its been a wonderful journey.
YEMISI & YOMI
HOW WE METWe met at Igbinedion University in 2003! We met at a mutual friends room by chance . My cousin told Yomi to look for me when he gets to Uni, and he told me the same too, just so we can be friends. However we never met, until that evening when I went to my friends room to beg for Indomie noodles.
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR US
We deserve to win because we have been dating for 10 years now, and the last 6 years have been long distance. It has not been an easy journey.

Winning would be a dream to our family, friends and most especially both of us! We have been waiting for this for the past 10 years! Please vote for us!DIANA EDEMA-SILLO & ALEXANDER UTOMUDO
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR US
I believe destiny brought us together, somtimes we look at each other and it all seems like a dream to us. God has always been the rock of our relationship and we believe in his will. We also want our union to always be memorable and one of the best days of our lives.
HOW WE MET
Lol its funny because we met during a pre- election mood (Unionism) and i was bought to him so i can be interviewed by him and win his approval, as he was very influential. And his question was " you are a woman and want to lead men what if you are seeing your period can you seat in a meeting for hours without excusing yourself" lol. it wasnt love at first sight but it grew into true friendship and we are and will always be best friends before lovers.
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR US
we deserve to win not because we are the best couple in the world but because we are best friends and we come first to each other before anyone else on earth. some people discouraged us at first and our first year wasn't the best but we made it with trust, love, communication and friendship. we believe thats what marriage is all about.
