Uthman Went From Patronising Aisha’s Business to Stealing Her Heart!

Every business owner dreams of having a returning client… but what if that client comes back and ends up stealing your heart? Well, that’s exactly how Aisha and Uthman’s love story began! 😍

Back in 2022, Aisha received a DM from Uthman expressing interest in patronising her brand. While scrolling through her business page, he spotted a photo of her and instantly recognised her as the same lady he’d caught a glimpse of years ago at the mosque. Fate clearly had a plan!

He slid into her DMs again, but this time, he wasn’t just looking to buy something — he wanted to know her. From random check-ins to more purchases, he slowly made his way into her heart. They recently tied the knot in a sweet, intimate civil wedding, and it was pure magic! From their chic looks to their heartwarming chemistry, every moment was a beautiful celebration of love.

Enjoy their civil wedding photos and love story below:

Their love story as shared by Aisha:

Uthman had reached out to me randomly on my business WhatsApp one afternoon in 2022, as he was trying to order a slippers anonymously for a friend. His friend, however, was unavailable to receive the slippers, and he wanted me to give out the slippers to one of my customers since he had already paid. The next day, he reached out again after coming across my picture on my page and asked if I went to Unilag, as he had happened to see me at the mosque and had only recognised me by my birthmark. Days passed, and he reached out again, this time asking to be friends, but I was busy with life and didn’t follow through, till he followed up again, but this time to get footwear for himself. He referred me to people in his network, as he loved his footwear.

Later on he went ahead to follow me on my personal socials and would always check in from time to time. One afternoon while he was away for a business trip in Japan, he messaged me on snap and asked if we could have a call. Curious me was like what does this person even look like because he never had a picture on his socials, so I requested we have a video call instead. Despite the 8 hours time difference, we spoke for over an hour as it was such an interesting conversation. We discovered we had same principles, standards and love for family. we had more and more calls after that day and we just grew really fond of each other .

Their love story as shared by Uthman:

One afternoon in 2018 after jummat prayers, I saw Taiwo walk pass and I told my friends who were beside me, I had just seen the most beautiful girl walk pass. They were curious to know who that was, so I pointed towards her direction and one of my friend mentioned she knew her as they stayed in the same hostel and she has a twin sister. She urged me to say hi to her but I didn’t because it might come off weird. But in my mind, I was like “If it’s the will of Allah that I’d cross paths with her again, then I will”.

4 years later, I was trying to surprise my friend with a slippers for Eid, and I came across Taiwo’s business page. My friend wasn’t going to be available to receive the slippers, so I asked her that we use it for a giveaway seeing that I already made payment. The next day while going through her business page, I saw a picture of her and realized she was the same girl from 2018. Her birthmark gave her away.
I reached out to confirm she went to Unilag, which she acknowledged. This time I wasn’t going to let the chance slip. I asked if we could be friends but she was not so responsive Days passed and I wanted a footwear for myself, so I reached out again to get one. The slippers was really good. A neighbor saw it and wanted one for her husband. Everyone that saw it actually wanted one for themselves. I saw her as someone I wanted in my life even if we were friends, so I followed her on her socials and would always check in from time to time

One day, she posted on her snap and I asked if we could have a call. She asked if we could speak later in the day and I obliged. To my surprise, she requested that we have a video call instead, (abeg, why I go talk no). We had the call, and I didn’t realise how much time had gone by until she said she had to leave (Bear in mind that I was 8 hours ahead of her and I barely got any sleep). I low-key looked forward to our next conversation but I maintained composure.
Once I returned to my base, I reached out again for another call and this was even longer and more engaging and I just knew something was right about what I felt. I hoped that she felt it too and she did at her own time. 7 years later, 3 slippers later and 3 referrals later, I asked the same girl I came across but couldn’t even speak with “to be my wife” and she said yes with the biggest smile. I couldn’t feel more blessed and excited. Next month we get to tie the knot traditionally. ❤️ Super excited for the rest of our life.
