As individuals, it’s just right to want the best for the people we care about. When Ginika’s friend set her up with her brother, Chikezie… it was just her way of looking out for two people she loved.

She knew they were going to make a perfect match and you’ll agree with us that she was right. Ginika and Chikezie realised that they had so much in common and they decided to give love a chance. Now, their sweet love has blossomed into something magical and we are super pumped for them. Their pre-wedding photos are just so beautiful and have love written all over them. 😍

Enjoy their pre-wedding shoot and love story below:

Their love story as shared by Ginika:

In late 2020, I received a call from my family friend, now sister-in-law. She was like ‘I am going to introduce you to someone I think you might like’ and that was how I was introduced to Chikezie. He was rounding up his Ph.D. in the US while I was working in Lagos. At first, I wasn’t interested in a relationship because I was so focused on transitioning fully into my tech career. We stayed friends, I was a bit hesitant because of the distance but he stuck around. Time went by and we unconsciously built a friendship. After a while, we became inseparable and he asked me to be his girlfriend. It became official when he came to visit me in Nigeria, and this bloomed into a beautiful relationship.

We found out we had a lot in common and the conversation just flowed effortlessly. We would talk all day and all night about everything and anything.. I couldn’t start or end the day without him. Our love story blossomed with laughter, kindness, support and shared adventures. Kezie is super sweet, very calm, caring, thoughtful, kind and of course handsome.  He totally complements my personality. Saying yes to marrying him has been my best decision yet.
