Love happens in the most unexpected ways. We bet if anyone had told Khadijah that she was going to marry the random stranger named Umar who called her one day, she would have laughed it off.

As fate would have it, here they are four years and two cuties later, living their perfect fairytale. It all began when Umar saw her photo online and was instantly drawn to her. He set plans in motion to win her heart, and he certainly did. As they celebrate four years of bliss, we are yet reminded of the endless possibilities that abide with love—how it can take two strangers and make them perfectly fit for each other. Their anniversary shoot is adding warmth to our day, and we bet it’ll have the same effect on you! 😍

Enjoy their anniversary shoot and love story below:

Their love story as shared by Umar:

I saw Khadijah’s photo online for the first time and I was instantly drawn to her. I was so intrigued that I asked a friend to get me her phone number, It was a bold move but I’m glad I followed my instincts. I called her for the first time and she asked how I got her number, I smiled and told her ‘I get what I want’ so she hung up and blocked me, not knowing I had all her phone numbers and her address already. After a year and some months of chasing she finally agreed to meet up. That moment marked the beginning of a beautiful journey together, filled with love, laughter, and countless cherished memories.
