Please tell us your name and what you do.
My name is Ayomide, and I'm a customer support agent.
How about your partner?
His name is Ayobami. He's an engineer and a serial entrepreneur.
So, let's get to it. How did you guys meet?
We met in Calabar in 2021 at my mum's shop. He was one of her regular customers and also ran a business nearby at that time. I was still in university that year, and during the holiday I usually assist my mum at her shop. That was when he saw me, got my number from my sister (because he claimed he was too shy, lol), and we started talking.
We started dating in 2022. Our relationship was mostly long distance because he had to relocate to the UK for his masters and work.
We got married in April 2025 🤭💃🏻💃🏻 so please address me as Mrs. I.
Nice to meet you, Mrs. I. What was your first impression when he first approached you?
Honestly, I didn't take it too seriously at first, especially since he went quiet after a few weeks 😂. But looking back, I understand why. He told me he needed a little time to be sure he was truly ready for something serious, and I actually respect that. It just shows how intentional he wanted to be, and I really admire that about him.
LOL, how can he go quiet for a while when he was the one who reached out first?
My dear, it shocked me too! According to him, he wanted me to be his last bus stop, so he was either in fully, or not doing it at all 😂
Did you know you were going to end up together?
Honestly, no, I didn't think we'd end up together. I felt like I was still young and just trying to figure life out. But he was so patient with me. He gave me time, never pressured me, and just kept loving me in the most gentle way. Somewhere along the line, I realized that when it's the right person, you just know. You feel safe, at peace, and truly yourself. I'm really grateful I get to do life with him.
How has it been so far? Any regret or enjoyment?
Zero regrets, just enjoyment and plenty more on the way 💃🏻. Yes, there are days we argue and have issues, but those times have only made us stronger. They've helped us grow, communicate better, and understand each other on a much deeper level.
What are your favorite activities that you enjoy together?
We love gisting (he's my amebo partner), watching football together, and listening to Fuji music 😂
Who is more romantic between the two of you?
He is, although I hate to admit it. I like to think I'm the more romantic one, but if I give him that win I might never hear the end of it 😂
What's your favorite Fuji music?
Ade ori okin.
What are some of the most memorable moments you have shared together?
When he proposed, it was just the two of us. My baby got down on one knee and asked the big question. I was so shy that day, but honestly, it was such a beautiful and intimate moment. One I'll never forget.
When was this?
December, 2024😊
How do you express love and affection towards each other?
Because of the long distance, we've learned to express love through late night calls, thoughtful gifts, and always being there when it matters the most.
What is your partner's favorite food?
He doesn't have a favorite food, he's a foodie 😭 but I'll say rice and beans.
How about you?
Pounded yam and egusi elemi mewa.
Who is the better cook between you two?
Meeee 💃🏻
What are the three things you love about your partner?
He's driven and ambitious. He has such a kind and genuine heart. He's patient, like really patient, and it shows in the way he loves and supports me.
So, tell us, what's your love language?
Acts of service and receiving gifts.
And your partner's?
Physical touch and spending quality time together.
What are the things you both look forward to doing together?
Traveling to different countries and spending quality time together.
Have you ever woken up beside your partner before? What comes to your mind when looking at them?
I say to myself "I married the most handsome and loving man 😫❤️"
I go love o. How do you manage long distance relationship now that you are married and he's in the UK?
It's definitely not the easiest. There are days I just really want to be with him. But we make it work with constant communication, lots of calls, checking in, and just sharing how our day went. It helps us stay connected, even with the distance.
How long have you been married for?
Three months.
On a scale of 1 - 10, what would you rate your partner?
10/10 minus nothing!
If they are reading this, is there anything you'd like to share with them?
Oko Ayomide, my SVB, Jatilez bobo, Adufs baby 😂, thank you for being my number one fan, my loudest hype man, and my constant backbone. I love you scatter! Till the wheels fall off and even after that ❤️
