Aisha’s Aunt Introduced Her to Malik 2 Years Ago – Their Grand Wedding Would Leave You in Awe!

Aisha and Malik’s sweet story reminds us that no matter how hard you run, you can’t hide from true love. Their beautiful journey began two years ago when Aisha’s aunt introduced them.

Even though Aisha tried to hide her feelings, Malik’s intentionality only drew her closer to his charm. Now, these two are set for a lifetime of bliss as they tie the knot in a grand 6-day wedding in Ilorin. After their lovely welcome dinner and henna picnic, they had a Nikkah ceremony where they tied the knot according to their religion.

They also had the Ere Osan and a lit reception and after-party to celebrate their new union. One thing that stood out was their exceptional style. They slayed all their looks effortlessly, proving to us that they are a stylish duo. Their wedding was indeed one for the books and would leave you in awe. 😍

Their love story as shared by Aisha:

We met in September 2022 through my aunt and his sister who were friends. Shortly after we started talking, I realised I had found the man for me. He was everything I had prayed for in a partner all rolled into one. However, due to the activity in my daily life, I lost interest in being in a relationship. I was overwhelmed with the rigours of medical school. I cooled off and laid low, but he would continue to check in from time to time. Come December, he confronted me about not taking things seriously and confessed his interest in trying to have something serious with me. Being avoidant and bad under stress, I took that conversation as an opportunity to end things.

Aisha came through with that pristine glow 😍

Shortly after, I think my aunt who introduced us checked in with him to see if all was going well and he told her the status of our relationship. She reached out to me shortly after and I got so upset. I confided in my parents who consoled me but also urged me to give it a legitimate chance. Going into our next conversation with an open mind in January, Malik asked if I would like for him to visit me. I rebutted with the option of us meeting for a day in Paris as already had a vacation to europe planned in February. He agreed and we met. After we had seen in person for the first time, I felt the familiar feeling of knowing this was the perfect life partner for me.

He is everything I’d ever need in a partner; patient, kind, thoughtful, intentional, and consistent. From a 48 hour trip, we ended up spending the whole week together getting to know one another. After, I returned to school and he returned to Nigeria and we dated long distance, which was the real test. In all, he passed with flying colours. He put in effort to plan virtual dates, go out of his way to make me smile, plan little surprises with my friends to make me feel his presence and this meant the world to me. The next time we saw was in May, I returned to Nigeria during a school break and our bond only grew closer.

When the squad is a stunning one 🥰

The trip was short lived and I quickly returned to school. As usual with long distance, the distance wore heavily on our relationship and I, being a cranky partner, grew anxious as time passed. Malik being the sensitive partner strived to close the gap, He surprised me with a trip to Barcelona for a few days. That trip sealed the deal. In summary, I was certain that was my parter when i returned home and also shared this very casually with him as well.
