We know food satisfies hunger, but there’s also that popular saying: “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” While we can’t quite prove the science behind it, we do have a sweet love story that makes a very strong case. 🤭

Idunnuoluwa was a frequent customer of Gbemisola’s food business. At the time, she couldn’t quite wrap her head around the reason behind his seemingly unusual orders. Little did she know that love was quietly finding its way in. What began as simple food orders soon blossomed into friendly conversations. Although their paths almost missed each other at one point, fate had other plans. A first date aligned everything, sealing what had been brewing all along. Today, the lovebirds are on a beautiful journey of bliss, proving that some of the best love stories begin in the most unexpected ways. Theirs is a love story that started with food orders, grew through memes and laughter, and found its rhythm in perfectly imperfect timing, and we absolutely love to see it!

Their love story, as shared by Gbemisola:

It all began quite innocently with food. Segun was a customer of a food business I once ran. I always wondered why he’d order meals that cost far less than the delivery fee, but love, as we now know, doesn’t always follow logic. And thankfully, neither did he. The business paused, and so did our conversations… until they quietly resumed in the form of memes. Sweet, effortless memes. I wasn’t much of a talker, but messages that asked for nothing in return felt oddly comforting. Then one unassuming day, boredom met curiosity, and I replied. What followed was a long, unexpected, and wonderfully engaging conversation, the kind that lingers long after the chat ends. Not long after, Segun asked me out on a date, and I said yes. But romance needed a little refining. The day came and went without a word from him, until just hours before our planned meeting. When he called to confirm, I declined. A lady deserves a “good morning,” after all.

Life stayed busy, timing stayed off, and our paths almost missed each other. Almost.
One random evening, boredom paid us another visit. This time, I made the call… ‘dinner?’ Segun was ready without hesitation. And just like that, everything aligned. The rest, as they say, is history written softly, lovingly, and with the kind of magic that starts with food orders, memes, and perfectly imperfect timing. ❤️
