Oladimeji's POV
I met my wife Oluwaseyi through a dear friend, Okunlola Ayodeji, who casually mentioned her to
me during a call shortly after I had just defended my PhD thesis in the final months of 2020.
What started as a simple conversation turned into the most beautiful chapter of my life. We hit it
off almost instantly, and soon, our daily conversations became the highlight of my days — we
talked about everything, from the big dreams to the little things that made us laugh. Just a
month in, it became clear to both of us that this was something rare, something worth nurturing.
We knew it was time to take things to the next level and begin dating. Looking back, I believe that call wasn’t just a coincidence — it was God’s divine way of opening the door to a new, extraordinary season of love. A love that felt effortless, deep, and destined. A key challenge we faced after we started dating was that we had never met in person — everything about our relationship was remote. But despite the distance, we stayed connected
and committed, persevering through our evening calls with unwavering love. At the time, I was in Italy and she was in Nigeria, so there was no time zone difference. No matter how long the day had been, we would talk every evening — and those conversations would stretch on, often past midnight. We built our bond not on grand gestures, but on the quiet strength of showing up for each other every single day. Those calls became the heartbeat of our relationship.
In 2021, she was accepted to pursue a Master’s degree in Computer Science — a dream she had spoken about countless times with passion and clarity. It was a major turning point, not just for her, but for us. She had worked so hard for that opportunity, and I was incredibly proud to see her step into what she had always wanted. But with that milestone came a new challenge: a significant time zone difference as she moved to the United States. Despite the added distance
and the new rhythm of our days, we remained anchored in love. We adapted, adjusted, and continued to find ways to power our connection with happiness, faith, and intention. I’ll never forget her first night in the U.S. — how calm and full of faith she was. Even in the middle of a big life change, she encouraged me, this reassured me that love would find a way to carry us through. Our faith paid off — it all worked out, and by God’s grace, it continues to flourish. Oluwaseyi is a
woman of deep faith, grounded in strong Christian values, and a steady, unwavering pillar of support. She is, without a doubt, God’s most profound blessing in my life. Since we began this journey together, my life has taken incredible turns — filled with purpose, joy, and the kind of peace that only love rooted in God can bring. I can’t wait to see what more He has in store for us. Truly, God has done this. *Oluwa lo seyi.* Thank you, my love, for choosing to walk through life with me. You are God’s gift to me — my answered prayer, my joy, my peace, and my home. To our dear wedding guests: thank you for being part of this celebration. As you witness our union, know that this love story was written by God Himself. We’re so grateful to have you with us as we begin this next chapter.
