If you were looking for a reason to honour more invites to social events, this may very well be it. Folashade and Sinmi’s tale of love began at a social gathering they had both been invited to.

Lovebirds, Folashade and Sinmi met for the first time at a birthday dinner. Seeing the damsel, Sinmi knew he had to reach out another time and so it began! The slow dance of friendship and getting to know each other… Which finally led into something more. Now, here we are! Folashade and Sinmi share their love story and proposal story with us – keep scrolling to read it all. The two have decided that forever is the way to go and we’re absolutely rooting for them. Their beautiful pre-wedding shoot has us commending the beauty and power of love yet again. 🤭

Check out their lovely pre-wedding shoot and love story below.

Their love story as shared by Folashade:

Sinmi and I met in 2014. I was invited to a birthday dinner by a friend. Coincidentally, he was also invited to the same birthday dinner by his friend. There definitely was no connection instantly. However, he asked his friend for my number and reached out.

Here’s what Sinmi has to say:

Shade and I started talking regularly and it was more of the Intellect for us both. We were having very intelligent conversations and that blew me away most times. We kept that going for about a year before I finally asked her to be my girlfriend.

How Sinmi popped the question:

On our first date, we went to a restaurant in Dublin. Going into our 7th year, Sinmi took me back to the first restaurant we ever ate and popped the question in the most romantic way. Of course, I did say Yes! I couldn’t be happier marrying the love of my life.
