You’ve likely heard the phrase, “every setback is a hidden opportunity.” This sentiment rings especially true in the realm of love. For Zina, her romantic journey began unexpectedly when she arrived late to an extramural class and found no available seats.

From then on, they shared countless laughs and unforgettable moments as classmates and companions.

Their renewed bond soon evolved from friendship into a heartfelt romance, culminating in a lifelong commitment. Their pre-wedding photos beautifully capture their love story, blending cultural richness with elegance and affection. It’s a testament to how love can transform lives and bring soulmates together.

Our Story: How It All Began
From Zina’s Perspective
Our paths crossed during an extramural class. I arrived late that day, and the room was packed with no seats left. Then I noticed Stanley with his bag occupying the chair next to him. Summoning unexpected courage, I asked if he could move his bag so I could sit down. He kindly agreed, and that moment marked the beginning of our friendship. That seat became my regular spot, and we shared many conversations and laughter, growing closer without even realizing it. After college, we lost contact and went our separate ways. But years later, life brought us back together. Our friendship rekindled and blossomed into a genuine, deep love. Today, I am proud to call him my husband, my best friend, and my first love. ❤️





Stanley’s Account
Amid a crowded classroom, my eyes were drawn to her instantly, even before I knew her name. The moment I saw Zina, something inside me shifted quietly but profoundly. It wasn’t a grand gesture or overwhelming emotion, just a calm certainty that she was the one meant for me. She wasn’t seeking attention or trying to stand out, yet her presence captivated me completely. That very day, I told my brothers, “I’ve just met my future wife.” They chuckled, but I was sincere. Reflecting now, I realize how true that feeling was. The girl I first noticed in class is now my wife-the answer to my prayers and the love I always hoped for. ❤️
