Their love story as shared by Delphine:

“God if you can show me who my husband is NOT, then you can show me who my husband IS”. I say this to Abba while casually laying in bed listening to a melody by Amanda Cook on the 12th of June 2020. Not long after uttering these words, I slip into a trance and I see myself in the same position in bed, listening to the same tune. My door swings open and in saunters Sam Wonder, a friend of a friend. He sits in bed with me and we talk. When I come to consciousness, I know instantly that this is the answer to my prayer. But there’s also a smidgeon of doubt because his name has just come up in an earlier phone conversation before this encounter. So I wonder if my mind is playing tricks on me. I take this trance with a pinch of salt and ask the Lord for more confirmations. As the months progress, the Lord gives me dream after dream, that point at the same thing. Sam is my husband. Wahalurrrrr! I didn’t even know this guy personally.

Here comes the tough part—waiting.

“If this is really God, He will tell Sam too, right?” I think to myself. Okay, so I wait.

4 months – a random conversation from him in the DM, then a hangout. 6 months – nothing. 1 year – nothing concrete. 1 year & 4 months – a few phone conversations. 1 year & 6 months – more phone calls and a few friendzone-ish hangouts. Then from nowhere—”I’d like to court you.” Sam says matter-of-factly. Apparently, after much prayer, he’d just recently received a very clear and undeniable confirmation through a dream that I’m his wife.

I respect this man so much because he is one who moves by the Spirit. As soon as he sees it, everything happens quickly. He asks to court me on boxing day in 2021 and 10 days after, I meet his family. A week after this, he speaks with my parents and asks my dad for my hand in marriage. Then he proposes in the same month, January 2022. And now, 5 months after, we’re here. Wild!
