What if we told you that you could earn more than a degree by attending a university? The beautiful thing is that you get to meet and connect with different people, one of whom could turn out to be the love of your life. 😍

Patience and Temitope happened to be coursemates in the university. Between lectures, assignments and spending time together, they found friendship, and before they knew it, a beautiful love story emerged. Now, they have sealed their love in an intimate civil wedding and are giving us all the feels with their beautiful civil wedding photos. We are loving the chic looks and how they just complement eachother so well.

Enjoy their civil wedding shoot and love story below:

Their love story as shared by Patience:

Our story began in 100 level at the university, where Temitope and I were coursemates and department mates. During one of our school activities, he reached out to say hello, and we became friends. At the time, neither of us imagined that our friendship would eventually lead to marriage. By 300 level, things began to take a different turn. Through a mutual friend, Temitope expressed his feelings for me, and we started talking more intentionally. What began as friendship gradually grew into love, and in August 2023, we officially began our relationship.

Over the next two and a half years, we grew together through different seasons of life and built a relationship that became much more than either of us initially imagined. In February 2026, Temitope proposed. Although we had spoken about our future together, the proposal still caught me completely by surprise. Having my family there made the moment even more special and meaningful. From university coursemates, to friends, to lovers, and now husband and wife, our story began with a simple hello and grew into forever.
