Our Story

How we met

So it was Christmas day, our Lord Jesus Christ's birthday! and my flatmate had egged me on the previous week to attend a Christmas party organised by the International students Hostel (ISH). Our university like all the other universities in London that were participating organized taxis to pick us to the venue. All dressed up in purple with my purple clutch I hurried off excitedly with my flatmate and met up with the other UEL students. During the taxi ride we went chitty chatty about all kinds of things.

The party begun on a calm note with everyone not knowing what to expect they begun to wonder out loud if it was worth attending. And me? well, I couldn't help but notice this one guy who was bubbly and happy from the start.He smiled and greeted everyone in such an exciting and infectious manner my mood and hopes for the day were alite with hope. Now don't forget it was Christmasday, and since there's a big child in every man or woman we still treasure that day and with sparkly eyes hope for something awesome! And indeed something awesome begun for me since then.....

The party included a nice big dinner, a message from the queen, a walk to the Prince Regent park and a movie marathon. Being one who loves the sunny side of things and cheer. I wasn't too far away from Mr. Cheerful. We walked and talked but it was all in the spirit of friendship and of course Christmas!

The days passed by rather quickly as each day was greeted with one dinner or another, shopping trips and slowly our personal hangouts. By which time we knew there was a new 'developement'. Not sure where this would lead to as we came from many lands apart; (Me Ghana and Sascha Germany) we decided spending too much time together wasn't such a good idea.

Then came the big split...mhuh..we had the big conversation and decided to go separate ways before we even started moving in the same direction.

And how long did that last? yes you are right... not even a day! LOL.

So since we realised we more than liked each other and couldn't stay apart for even a day but thought (at the time) our future plans and ideals were irreconcilable we hatched up a new plan. The new plan was, to go out for six months and then go our separate ways.Six months because that's when the University calender ended for both of us.

But guess what happened?! After barely three months we realised we didn't want to live without each other....we were in love!.... so a new plan begun to emerge and here we are. About to celebrate our love in  Holy matrimony!
