In the pic, the couple pose intimately, and look into each other's eyes with a smile on their faces. They were both dressed in Yoruba native attires made of matching lace fabric.
Pulse Weddings was able to obtain another lovely photo of the couple whose amazing love story also made it into the two middle pages of their church's magazine. The couple are solid members of Rhema Chapel, Oluyole, Ibadan.
Really these pictures, and more importantly the couple, are just all glowing shades of amazeballs and of course, we have no qualms tagging them marriage goals!!!
