You totally want to enjoy all the thrills that came with Thelma and Iyke’s wedding and also, their love story just how Thelma shares it. Enjoy it all below.

Their love story as Thelma shares it:

Iyke and I met as kids. We were neighbors and his mum and my mum were friends. Unfortunately, he lost his mum at a young age which meant that they had to relocate to a different town for good reasons.

We lost contact, and our family left the country. 20 years later, my brother bumped into him in Nigeria and they exchanged contacts.

When my brother came back and told me that he bumped into Iyke, suddenly I felt butterflies. You know, it’s weird but I felt something and I loved that feeling. So I got his Facebook details and sent him a DM.

Wow! He was excited and we took the conversation to WhatsApp. I’m sure we spoke for 12 hours or so nonstop, catching up.

Let’s check out Iyke as he also prepares for the special day.

He claimed he had always wanted to reach out but he thought I was married or in a serious relationship.🙄 So, he watched me from far. That’s typical of him.

Iyke is everything I want in a man. No drama, no stress, just cool, intelligent, and free. To cut the long story short, I knew I wanted to be with him.
