Some friends are really angels in human form, pushing you towards the best opportunities. Collins‘ friend fits perfectly into this description, bringing him a beautiful love story with Chinaza.

He was just about to leave Canada for Houston for his MBA when suddenly, fate held him back for something really special. A mutual friend acted as a matchmaker and connected the lovely duo, and from their first date, the sparks flew. It was an instant connection! That single decision to hold on and meet with Chinaza has now led both of them to a forever kind of love! The lovebirds have graced us with stunning pre-wedding photos to celebrate their union, and we are so delighted. From the elegant black-tie look to the Igbo traditional look and boat theme, their love is simply undeniable, stealing our hearts and making us swoon hard at the same time. 😍

Enjoy their pre-wedding photos and love story below:

How we met
By the groom, Collins:

I was all set to move from Canada to pursue my MBA in Houston when our mutual friend mentioned she had a friend in the city I should meet. She showed me her picture, and let’s just say… I paid attention. Not long after, we went on our first date. Naza came straight from house hunting, dressed casually. I, on the other hand, might’ve gone a little overboard trying to make a great first impression. But from that very first day and conversation, the connection was instant, we laughed hard and talked easily like we’d known each other for years. It just felt right! From that moment on, everything flowed naturally, and what started as a simple introduction quickly became the beginning of our forever.
