Fatima & Mohammed’s Wedding was a Joyous Celebration of Love and Culture

Posted by Unknown on 06:56

The beautiful couple, Fatima and Mohammed tied the knot recently and it was indeed incredible. One of the ceremonies to mark the start of their union was the Kamu/Mother’s night. It’s that event where the bride is celebrated by her mothers, aunties and friends. This is one of those special ladies night. Right after this, Fatima and Mohammed had their wedding dinner which was every shade of beautiful.

Fatima and Mohammed met in such an interesting way and honestly you might say it was a coincidence but we are pretty sure it was the Universe aligning to bring them together. After visiting the same restaurant for three years without seeing each other, they met once and that was it!

How We Met
By the bride, Fatima

For the past three years, Mohammed and I both have had lunch every day at the same restaurant (House fourty three) but never laid eyes on each other. On the 19th of July 2018, I was having my lunch alone as usual, when the manager, Ayo, who is a mutual friend teased about how it was high time I got married and then playfully pointed out a random guy at the cafe, stating “that’s your husband“.

I pleaded with him to stop pointing because I was getting embarrassed, he then walked straight up to the guy and said to him while pointing at me “that’s your wife“. We immediately started talking and then realized we had a lot in common. It felt like it was too much of a coincidence and to put it simply we realized it was God’s plan for us to be together and by His grace it happened on my birthday 3rd, August 2019, Alhamdulillah.
