LOVE MATTERS

ACHALUGO, I'M GONNA MARRY YOU 💍💫 Well hello my darlings 😘. It's been a hot minute, hasn’t it? Life has been out here doing press-ups on my neck 😩, but here I am, back like I never left, because I promised you a story. And not just any story. This one? This one is dear to my heart. It belongs to my friend, my girl, and when I say I refused to let anyone else tell it, I mean it. This is the love story I’ve been saving for the right moment. So get your juice, because we’re diving in. SUBSCRIBE! Now let me just clarify upfront: I still haven’t watched Love in Every Word  💔. Don’t judge me. MTN’s been moving funny 🙄 and life hasn’t exactly rolled out the red carpet for leisure. But that title? It fits this story so well, I couldn’t resist you’d see why. So, picture it, 2019. A quiet campus day at staff quarters. Favour had come around to visit her brother, totally minding her business, when she was introduced to a guy named Innocent Peters. Real casual. No sparks. No violins....

When listening to this story, I represented my aww community so well that I have been promoted to the Vice President position. This particular story is one that is very dear and special to me hence it is the first story of this series. It’s the story of how my sister met the absolute love of her life. The story of Toks and Nuel. It was a bright and sunny day. Okay wait let’s start with the actual background of the story. So my Sister Toks, who is also my cousin but is obviously still my sister has a younger sister Ese. At some point, Ese wanted to start a t-shirt brand so she needed someone in Port-Harcourt city who could help her print the designs on the t-shirts. Now she was already printing somewhere in Lagos but the cost of shipping and all that was tasking and eventually she wouldn’t yield enough profit. So on a very beautiful Sunday, imagine a bright and sunny day at this point where the sun is not so scorc...

 ROMANCE, LOVE, AND LONG DISTANCE! Before your beautiful eyes read further, I would like to point out that I now have two beautiful writers working for me🤭🤭. One of whose writing you’re about to get into. To my lovely constant readers, I apologise for not posting last week. I needed a very short break cause I was overwhelmed with work but hey! now I’m not doing it alone. I trust you’ll enjoy this writeup. Love you😘😘❤️❤️ DEAREST GENTLE READER (OR NOT SO GENTLE, EYES SUSPICIOUSLY). This writer is here to bring you the tea or may I say coffee, as I am not Lady Whistledown, what I serve is better than tea, and by coffee, I mean a caramel macchiato with a sweet heart on top because this LOVE STORY is about to leave a sweet flavor in your heart. Today on LOVE MATTERS, we take a dive into the love story of IKECHUKWU and CHISOM.

 10 MONTHS Nope nope nope. Not apologizing 🤣🤣. I’m just going to give you people the story you deserve. Clearly the names probably got your attention right? Well I LOVE them. Zaqayvia was coined from the name Zaviya which means Beautiful Angel. I’m sure you can see why she deserves that name. 😍 How did they meet? Well through McDarrow’s aunt who was a friend of Zaqayvia at work. So she hooked them up. Thank you Aunty❤️. I wish I had aunties that would hook me up… wait no I don’t 🤔😂. They were chatting for about two months and when they met, sparks ⚡️ everywhere. They both thought they were more attractive than the pictures made them believe which is not surprising to be honest. Dating each other was such a fun and easy thing for both of them because it just felt right. Darrow felt it was really easy to be with her and Zaqayvia felt it was just meant to be. You know that feeling of when you know you know, well all you single folks don’t know what that feels lik...

 MATCHING ENERGIES Now y'all know your girl would always come through no matter what. I should have posted last week but there were some delays. But now i practically have stories lined up for the next month and maybe even more. I am so so grateful. Now because i love you guys that constantly come through for me, i'm just gonna go ahead and get to the story for y'all. I hope you love this as you always seem to do. Now our couple for today, another really beautiful couple. Side bar, have you guys noticed all my couples on this blog always seem to be so fine and their stories always make me jealous? That's my aim though. To make y'all single folks jealous. (Not me speaking like i'm not a part of the single folks lol). Anywho, so this was a case of meant to be kind of love. Cobie and Favour were introduced to one another by a mutual friend who swore by everything in him that they would make a beautiful couple which eventually they did😂. On meeting...
