Zainab and Ibrahim |
How They Met:
It happened one sunday afternoon on the 19th of august 2007,
when zainab & her friend zainab took baba's car to carwash after
repairs from an accident, that was when Ibrahim spotted his beautiful Missing Rib. They left immidiately with another car after
dropping baba's car & after about 2hours they came to pick the car. By
then ibrahim had waited 4 so long & left a note begging zainab to
call him. She reluctantly collected telling herself "this abuja boys
want to play with my head" went home & then changed her mind to call
ibrahim & he asked to come see her & she described the house to
him. He came called 3 times & she didn't pick while she was busy
putting back baba's things back in his car after repairs, he decided
after the 4th call he would leave, he did & before she could get to
the phone it had rang to the end. Zainab called him back & he picked
& came back. Zainab went outside to meet him as soon as she saw him she
said to herself "Jackpot" he had a pointed nose, they said hi & he
started to talk but zainab paused him & asked him to come out that
she needed to see how tall he was so as to get a pass for her to
consider whatever he had to say. After he got out she saw she asked him
to walk 1st because she wants to be sure he wasn't limping & he did
& that was how he got to start talking to her. She asked him a few
questions about him & what his intentions were towards her & he
said " he wants to be friends & hopefully it will lead to them being
husband & wife" zainab was looked at him as if he wasn't serious
but she knew there might be something special in this guy. A week later
ibrahim proposed to zainab to marry him but she said " Look mr man u
& I don't even know each other that much how can u just ask me to
marry you just like that like I'm so desperate". His reply was from the
day I met you I knew you were going to be my wife! She asked him to give
her 3yrs to think about it & after a long courtship of chasing her
to london every 3weeks for over 4 years & 17 proposals (all with
rings) she finally agreed. Then it came to her father which took about
2years (shakara) before he finally gave out zainab to ibrahim on the 26th
of april 2013.
About Ibrahim, By Zainab:
Ibrahim has been my backbone & best-friend
& has done a lot to make me happy. He's kind & generous to me
& to my family & to everyone who comes his way. Whenever I
imagined what my life would be without him I feel incomplete & I
think that's what love should be. He understands my multiple
personality, my moods & is a very patient man. My family has a very
good relationship with him, they respect & love him. He's very
respectful as well as very religious & I think if any woman should
have these consistent qualities in a man she should be very lucky. I
feel lucky with him & I pray our love, understanding & marriage
stands the test of time & be peaceful & successful In Sha Allah.
I pray we make the best out of this marriage and be role models to the
society as a whole

ReplyDeleteBeing real about urself is most important in a relationship which we find to be scarce these days that's y relationships don't last becos of high expectations. Its really important to be honest with each other & understand each other.
