When love is meant to be, neither time nor distance can stand in the way. Cynthia and Martins’ beautiful journey is a gentle reminder that the best things always come full circle.

At first, they were just secondary school classmates, and when he left the country to further his education abroad, they lost contact. Fast forward to the near future, and the lovebirds reconnected on Facebook. Then once again on Instagram. Martins knew Cynthia would become his wife, and that has come to pass! His little crush on her in secondary school has blossomed into forever, and the lovely duo sealed their love in a beautiful civil wedding, and we are so excited to share in their joy! They looked absolutely ravishing for their big day, Cynthia in her chic white dress and Martins in his well-tailored three-piece suit. We can tell they are utterly smitten by each other just by scrolling through their stunning wedding photos. It’s sweet love and electric chemistry in each frame, and we are completely loving it. 😍

Enjoy their civil wedding photos and love story below:

How we met
By the bride, Cynthia:

We met way back in secondary school, we were classmates because it was a mixed school. Never did I know that he had a crush on me. He left our school during ss1 and travelled out of Nigeria to further his education. We later reconnected through Facebook, keeping in touch as classmates, though at one time, we stopped communicating. Reasons being that I wasn’t active online, I lost my phone. When I got back online, he was the first person to message me. I wasn’t really giving him all the attention due to school stress and trying to get good grades. Again communication between us went south. 2 years later when I got back online I made a post on Instagram and he commented “my wife” I smiled and I sent him a DM saying I don’t understand.. there, he told me that he will marry me and finally opened up to me that I had been his crush right from day one and he knew I was going to be his wife and here we are. 🥰
