Our Wedding

Our story didn’t begin on earth — it started in heaven, long before our paths ever crossed. God knew this love was meant to be. I first laid eyes on Mengie in Cameroon. I had traveled there and happened to accompany my sister to her father’s birthday celebration. At some point that evening, her dad proudly introduced her as his youngest daughter and shared a few words about her. From that very moment, I could tell she had a beautiful soul. Her smile was radiant — the kind that lights up a room — but fate didn’t allow us to talk that night. Time passed, and we both went our separate ways. Yet being close friends with her family meant our paths were destined to cross again — and when they did, everything changed. We finally had the chance to talk, to laugh, and to truly get to know each other. What started as casual conversation turned into endless hours on the phone, neither of us realizing how much time had passed. For a while, I tried to deny what my heart already knew — that this was the woman God had chosen for me. But no matter how much I tried to ignore it, the truth became clearer each day. When I finally confessed my feelings, I thought that was the hardest part... but little did I know, our journey had just begun. Her response was something no man ever wants to hear: “I think of you as family.” That one sentence hit hard. I wondered what I could possibly do next. No matter how I tried, it seemed impossible. Yet, every once in a while, I’d see a small glimpse of hope — only for her to close the door again. There were times I told myself I was done. I even tried dating others, but even on those dates, I’d find myself wishing she was the one sitting across from me. Three years passed, and I still couldn’t love anyone else. But as I said, God already knew this love would be ours — He was just teaching me patience. Then, one day, everything changed. She finally realized I was the one. You’d think that would be the happy ending, right? But no — our greatest test was still ahead. Family concerns arose, and we were told we couldn’t be together for “family reasons.” It was painful, but we stood firm. Through every challenge, we held on to each other until everything was resolved — together. Today, we still argue sometimes, we laugh a lot, and we always find our way back through simple, honest conversations. What makes us strong is not that we’re perfect — but that we choose each other, over and over again.We love deeply. We forgive easily. We protect each other fiercely. And through it all, one thing remains true:MENGIE &amp; DIVINE — forever and always. ❤️
