Our Love Story
7 years ago, we met through some mutual friends, and have been together ever since!
In the last 7 years we have grown up together, travelled to many different places, moved in together, bought a house, and now, we're getting ready to tie the knot!
Seyi popped the question in Santorini, Greece in September 2023, and now we're planning our wedding in stunning Portugal.
We're super excited to celebrate this big day with all our wonderful family and friends!
