The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step

  • Our love story

  • How we met

    #TheAmaeshis2018 is a love birthed from heaven…..meeting at a time when dating was the last thing on both our minds but cupid had a different plan for us. Even in the midst of our flaws and strengths we’ve discovered the pillar of our love and made a commitment to nourish it for the rest of our lives.

    It all started in the Classroom….we both met at a professional course program that held for about 3 weeks. We never said anything to each other until the 2nd week. I asked him for a lift after class and he said yes with all pleasure, whilst I intended to be silent all through the trip, Ceejay’s engaging conversation during the trip showed he had been waiting for the prefect moment to say something to me…lol and he took my number.
    Fast forward from that day Ceejay has ensured he calls me nothing less than 3 times every day even till today……he makes me comfortable to be myself, and he has always showed me the various versions of himself giving me reasons to fall in love with him all more and more each passing day.

  • The Proposal

    I’ll call it the Six (6) months Agenda…lol. It was supposed to be our 6th month anniversary (4th September, 2017) and Ceejay promised to make it special with a candle light dinner for just the 2 of us at the Oriental Hotel, VI, Lagos. Little did I know that he had the most pleasant surprise of my life waiting for me. With my sister and close friends already staged at the venue…..I delightfully said “YES” to this amazing man who brought so much peace into my life.

The first day I met you , you played the role of HR and you took me as a sister and asked me what my goal in life was. A question I had just thought about rather casually, your smile warms my heart each day;a day can’t go by without me wanting to bug you just so you will smile for me. Ceejay,although I haven’t said anything more than good evening , yes just here and thank you good night , your kind heart shines out and I can indeed see why Colette is drawn to you. As you both have decided to start this journey and take this space together, I pray the lords Favour and grace be upon you both. May the lord guide you both in being husband and wife . I blessed your union with lovely little ceejays and Colette’s . I am indeed blessed to be a part of your love story . Happy countdown to the D-Day my dearys . God bless
