Moving to a new city can feel unfamiliar and overwhelming. However, amid all the adjustments, love can show up with its magic and make everything feel just right.

Tabitha met Terrell shortly after her move to Philadelphia three years ago. At first, he was the charming stranger who made it his mission to show her the hidden gems of the city, helping her ease in and feel more at home. As they spent more time together, their connection grew, and they discovered a love that felt effortless and beautiful. Now, they’re set to spend forever together, and we couldn’t be more thrilled! Their pre-wedding photos are a breath of fresh air and we can feel the love in every frame… you’ll feel it too as you scroll!

Their love story as shared by Tabitha:

Our love story feels like a little nudge from fate. Three years ago, I moved to Philadelphia, feeling like an outsider in a city that seemed a bit too rough around the edges. That’s when I met him through mutual friends. He must have sensed my hesitation about Philly because he made it his mission to show me a side of the city I hadn’t seen.

For our first date, he planned this perfect evening where we talked and laughed so much that we didn’t even notice the restaurant had emptied out and the staff was ready to close. It was just us, still lost in conversation. That night, Philly felt warmer—like it had softened up, just for us. Since then, we’ve built our own home together, blending his city, my roots in Nigeria, and all the love we’ve found in each other.
