Mary

& Jideofor

Our Story

Mary and Jideofor's love story began in the most unexpected place - a bustling Lagos bookstore in 2018. Mary was searching for a cookbook to impress her friends at dinner, while Jideofor was hunting for the latest tech magazine. When they both reached for the same book on entrepreneurship, their hands touched, and time seemed to pause. What started as an awkward laugh over their shared interest in business became an afternoon of coffee and endless conversation.

Their relationship blossomed through weekend market visits, late-night phone calls about their dreams, and shared adventures exploring hidden gems around Lagos. Mary's infectious laughter could brighten Jideofor's most stressful days, while his unwavering support gave her the confidence to pursue her passion for event planning. They discovered they both loved sunrise walks on the beach, trying new restaurants, and planning surprise getaways for each other.

On a magical evening in December 2024, during a romantic dinner at their favorite rooftop restaurant overlooking the Lagos skyline, Jideofor surprised Mary with a proposal that left her speechless. Surrounded by twinkling lights and the city they both loved, he asked her to be his forever partner in all of life's beautiful adventures. With tears of joy and an enthusiastic "Yes!", they began planning the next chapter of their incredible journey together.
