Shine’s story will make you know your man is around the
corner and you just have to chill and open up. Don’t be fast to say no to every
guy. Love love the story of how she met her boo.
Shine and her designer boyfriend got married few days ago at
Ikoyi registry and will be having their traditional marriage next month. Now their
love story.
How We Met
We met sometime in February 2013 at an event that I was
billed to host in Ikoyi. It was the launch of a beach wear line. Seth had
produced the design for the upcoming label and he also helped stage manage the
event though it wasn’t his job. But I didn’t know that at the time.
The event didn’t start on time, and I was pissed because it
was obvious that the organizers were not organised. Seth took it upon himself
to calm me down and reassured me that everything would be alright. At the end
of the show he introduced himself properly that he is a fashion designer and a
stylist, the creative director of Vendrika Fashion. He took my number said he
would love to style me for an event. He was such a gentleman; he walked me out
of the venue, got me a cab, opened the door for me to get in and said he would
call me to see if I was home safe which he did a while later, (yeah I didn’t
own a car then, was still working on it lol).
So yes weeks later we met just to hang out and also talk
business, fashion wise. He showed me pictures of his work for non celebs and
celebs that he had made clothes for like Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Uche Jumbo,
Kate Henshaw, MC Galaxy, Eldee, my colleague Mannie and the list goes on.
I was impressed because the clothes on these celebs were
awesome, so I told him about the kind of things I love to wear and he told me
about his futuristic ideas about fashion. At this point I was convinced that he
was the real deal fashion wise and he has been styling and making clothes for
me since June 2013 till date. He changed my wardrobe totally from my clothes to
shoes, accessories and all, he put the sexy in Shine and made me hotter. In
fact I realized that my fashion sense was not it at all but now it’s an all
improved fashionable Shine thanks to Seth … somewhere along the line we hit it
off and started dating.
The Proposal
Seth proposed twice, the first was on my birthday in 2013,
he took me out all night a day to my birthday and when it was 12 midnight we
were dancing arm in arm to a very cool song and while we were dancing he was
playing with his phone, typing something in his BB status and he gave it to me
to read…he wrote…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY
FIGURE 8 BOO, I LOVE YOU. MARRY ME ALREADY.
It was funny and cute at the same time so I said yes but
there was no ring. He said he was going to give it to me when it was almost
time, so last year in December 2014 before the New Year he proposed again this
time with a ring, he slid it on my finger and said, “let’s get married”! and
that he couldn’t wait anymore…and so here we are two years later, getting
married on the month we met.
