You never know when you’ll meet the love of your life… but when you do, it’s hard to hold back the heart-racing feeling. A serendipitous encounter in uni led Lilian to her soulmate, Darlington.
They exchanged contacts that day and what unfolded was the perfect fairytale. They had a rich traditional wedding where they tied the knot according to their Itshekiri and Urhobo roots. From the vibrant traditional attires to the lively cultural dances, every moment was a testament to their deep-rooted heritage and their beautiful love. Theirs was indeed a festival of love and colours and you’ll love every frame as you scroll. 😍

Their love story as shared by Lilian:
We met in 2020 at a popular spot in Uniport (University of Port Harcourt) while I was in school… A restaurant called “Mama Abuja.“ His friend was talking to my friend, trying to get her number and Darlington was just standing there smiling at me. He offered to drop us off at the hostel and he asked for my number. We started dating and fast forward to January 15th 2024 he popped the question and the rest is history
