OUR STORY
'AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE'
Mark 10.8
THURSDAY,
NOVEMBER 04
2021
Matchmade by a mutual friend (The lovely Ivah Sule) on 17th October 2021, the couple had a few phone calls then arranged to meet on the 4th November 2021 at Charing Cross in London to go to a Thai restaurant (Ify's favourite ;) - see flower wall photo). The two had dinner and hit it off instantly.
FRIDAY,
NOVEMBER 04
2022
Ever the romantic, Stephen arranged for a recreation of the 1st date for their anniversary and so the two went back to the Thai restaurant.
After dinner, they went for a stroll down the River Thames, where they were approached by 2 ladies pleading to use the couple as muses for their photography project.
Test shots of Ify were taken first facing the River Thames, and on the count of 3 she was told to twirl for a special shot, which she did and saw Stephen down on bended knee.
Of course she said Yes!
SATURDAY,
NOVEMBER 04
2023
THE BIG DAY.
With 4th November having become a special day for the bride and groom, what better date to hold their wedding!
Ify and Stephen would be honoured to have you join them on this special day to witness their Holy Matrimony.
