Florence’s Story

Dreams do come true, as that was the case for me. Our deep friendship and romantic Journey to this present day started June of 2017, however we have known each other from a tender age. I will take you down memory lane as briefly as possible. I have known Mark since I was a little girl, where we lived on the same street for a brief period in Benin City, Nigeria. Fast forward years later to when I was in Switzerland doing my Masters, I got a Facebook friend request from a guy named Mark and he wanting to know if the Oseh he Knew was the same person. I did not pay much attention to him and responded casually, as well as we not keeping much contact as we both would comment or like each other post on Facebook and that was it. Fast forward again lol (I know right!)To June of 2017 living in the United States since completing my masters, so many years of distance and proper communication have gone by.

On this Faithful day in June of 2017, Nathaniel Bassey a Nigerian gospel artist popularly known as @nathanielblow on Instagram, was having a gospel Hallelujah challenge. On this blessed day he instructed that we should write down three things we would want to pray about. The first on my list I wrote down that God should show me my husband, the bone of my bone. I prayed and sang, and sang, and sang….laughs. At about 4:15 AM the next morning, I got a Facebook message from Mark saying Hi, and that I was on his mind. I did not get to see the message till about past 6AM and I was SHOCKED! There came all the questions running through my mind… is this God at work? Can this prayer be answered this quick? Is he the one? I have known him since I was a baby so why nowww….?

These was just a few of the questions that came to mind. At this time, I was planning to relocate to another city for work, I had so much decisions to make, and it was like with him it all fell in place. Words cannot say how my life has moved from one level of Glory to another. I have not known love like this, is it the constant show of affection? His love for me, the surprises, his love for God and the things I care much about. His support was undeniable evident to all, Mark understands me and even in my strength he knows how to handle me. I cannot miss out his love and interest for what I do, he always likes to pitch in even when I know that he don’t know what I am talking about he googles it.

I am blessed to be married to my soulmate, my crown, my love, my king. All Mark does is put a smile on my face (what manner of love is this). Mark my babe, I want you to know that I love you more each day, and I am thankful to God for now I truly believe that delay is never denial. As big as my God is, He did it just like that!

Love you Babe.

Mark’s Story

Dreams Do come true is also my case, Oseh is my dream come true. I believe Oseh has said it all in her story, but there are a few things which I would like to add. Firstly, how I found her; I always knew her as Oseh and never knew Oseh’s English name, which made the task a very cumbersome one. I tried googling, found nothing, so I set out by searching for her brother’s on Facebook, I searched for her brother John who was my childhood friend and nothing came up, but I found two of her elder brothers Philip and Stephen and befriended them immediately and diligently searched through their friends list and found my Oseh in June 2008.

That day was one of my happiest days. I sent her a friend request and waited and waited and waited till she accepted my request on the 18th June 2008. That was when the chase commenced, I virtually liked every picture and comment she made on Facebook to get her attention, but she did not seem interested.

On the 27th June 2017 I got my breakthrough, she responded after nearly 9 years of trying to get her attention and you know what, on that day I contacted her because she was so much on my mind and I wanted to tell her how I felt, but I was also thinking of giving up after all the wait and trying, thank God I did not give up and to God be the Glory, our journey took a different turn on that day and since then I have been the happiest man on earth.

You know the saying, you don’t keep a Queen waiting, I Crossed the Pacific Ocean, the largest and deepest of Earth’s oceanic divisions and proposed, she accepted and here we are today!!!!!!!!

She is my Joy, she is my choice and Gods best gift for me and She is my Own.
