Their love story as shared by Adaora:

Our story began on April 20, 2019, at a mutual friend’s house party. Amidst the laughter and lively conversations, our paths crossed, and an unexplainable connection sparked between us. Despite Arinze living in a different city, just one week later, he made a spontaneous decision that would change our lives forever. Arinze travelled three hours to London for what was supposed to be a simple coffee date. That “simple” coffee turned into an unforgettable five-hour date filled with shared dreams, laughter, and an undeniable bond. Neither of us wanted that day to end.

On August 17, 2019, Arinze asked me to be his girlfriend, and our journey together officially began. The start of our relationship wasn’t easy, with us living in different countries, and then in different cities, but our love proved to be stronger than the distance. We found joy in the little things, bonding over our shared love for trying out new foods, working out, and watching comedy shows. Four years later, on August 17, 2023, Arinze planned a surprise trip to Marrakesh. In that beautiful, enchanting city, he got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. It was a moment straight out of a fairytale, a memory we will cherish forever.
