Umeh Grace, Abuja (2026)

23/04/2026

So as I was saying… I had just started discovering that I married a wonderfully loving… but very clingy man 😭😂

And because of that, when it was time to return to school barely a week after our wedding to write my final exams, I made a decision.

I told my husband:

“I want to stay in my friend’s hostel while writing my exams.”

Omo.

You needed to see his face 😅

This man looked at me like I had applied for international relocation.

Because in his mind…

How can a new bride leave her husband one week after wedding? 😂

But I explained to him,

“It’s not because I’m tired of you o…”

“I just know who I married.” 😭

“If I stay here with you, between your gist, your following me up and down, your ‘come and sit with me’, your ‘let me enjoy my wife’… I may not concentrate and read.” 😂

And I was serious.

I said,

I didn’t get married to go and fail final exams.

I cannot let it be said that marriage made me lose focus.

No.

I wanted to pass well.

Graduate well.

And make both of us proud.

Because what’s the joy if I now come out with weak grades and say na marriage cause am? 😅

Even you the husband will be prouder if your wife does well.

But this man fought the idea.

Ah 😭

He argued.

He negotiated.

He pleaded.

He even started looking for supporters.

This man called my mother 😂

Yes.

Called my mother to side with him.

To help convince me not to go.

I said ah ah…

See coalition.

Marriage has become tribunal.

Everybody is lobbying 😭😂

But I stood my ground.

Madam wanted space.

Madam wanted books.

Madam wanted peace.

After plenty back and forth…

he finally agreed.

And I was allowed to go stay in my friend’s hostel.

And honestly?

I was happy.

Very happy 😅

Not because I was running from my husband o…

Don’t misunderstand me.

I was happy because I knew I’d have space.

Quiet.

Time to read.

Time to breathe.

Time to miss oga small too 😂

Because sometimes absence too can sweeten love and avoid see finish 😂😂😂

But what I thought would be calm exam period…

turned into another story entirely 😳

Because even in hostel…

this clingy husband of mine still found a way to show himself 😂

And what happened while I was in that hostel?

Omo…

that gist is for next episode.

Stay tuned 😄👀

If you’ve been enjoying this series, keep following… because this marriage journey has no dull moment 😂❤️

23/04/2026

😂😂😂can you relate?

23/04/2026

After we came back home from the park that night , we spent time talking about the wedding and laughing over so many things that happened.

Things that went according to plan.

Things that didn’t go according to plan 😅

People who showed up for us.

Funny moments at the reception.

Little things that went wrong that now sounded funny.

We just kept gist-ing and laughing like friends.

And honestly that was one beautiful thing I started noticing in marriage…

Friendship.

Not just husband and wife.

Friendship ❤️

So we slept peacefully that night.

Now let me confess something 😂

Before marriage, I was a professional sleeper.

I can sleep ehn…

And wake up after 7 like it’s a ministry 😭

I love sleep.

But I didn’t know I married a man who wakes up by 3–4am.

Yes.

Real human being.😂

So around 5:30am,according to him he had even “given me extra time” 😭 this man woke me up😭😭😂

And the first thing he said was:

“What are we eating? I’m hungry.”

I said ah ah 😂

Good morning first?

Romance first?

Prayer first?

No.

Food.

Straight. 😭

I told him,

“Check the rice in the freezer.”

He said,

“There is no rice.”

That was when I remembered…

Wedding rice had finished.

I said okay…

Eat cake.

There’s cake 😄

This man said he doesn’t like cake.

Imagine!

Who doesn’t like cake? 😭

I said what do you want me to do now?

He said,

“Come and find something let’s eat.”

And that was how madam new bride stood up early morning and started cooking 😅

Marriage practical started immediately.

I made food.

Served him.

And after that I wanted to go back and sleep.

But no.

This man was sitting in the parlour waiting.

Then he said,

“Come and sit with me.”

I said sir… I’m trying to have my alone time.

That was when I discovered…

In marriage, especially with a clingy husband…

Alone time may need appointment 😭😂

This man wanted me around him all the time.

Up and down.

Sit here.

Come here.

Stay here.

Talk to me.

And I was still trying to adjust.

Then came the part that shocked me 😳😂

This man wanted to go to the toilet…

and said,

“Come and sit let’s be talking.” 😭

I said excuse me???

Marriage includes discussing life beside toilet too? 😂

I was confused.

I said oga…

I just married you.

I’m still learning.

Allow me breathe 😅

But him?

He had adapted fully.

Immediately.

As if he had been husbanding all his life 😂

Then he reminded me I was still in school and exams were close.

And he said,

“Let me enjoy my wife before your exams start.”

My people ehh It’s one thing to be married.

It’s another thing to be married to a clingy man 😅

Because me?

I love my space.

I can sit quietly and enjoy my own company.

But as a new bride…

space vanished.

This man was following me up and down like attachment 😭

And that was the beginning of me understanding real married life.

Not the wedding.

Not the pictures.

Not the vows.

The real day-to-day marriage 😂

And trust me…

it only got more interesting from there.

Because what happened when this clinginess met my own “I need space” character? 😳

Ahhh…

that one is next episode.

Stay tuned 😂✨

If you’ve been enjoying this series, keep following and laughing with me… this gist is getting sweeter and more real ❤️

A little appreciation post from my heart ❤️

I just want to pause from my bridal journey series and say thank you to everyone reading, commenting, laughing with me and sharing memories with me through this series 😂❤️

Honestly, I started sharing this as a way to document my marriage journey ,from planning our traditional marriage, to the white wedding, to all these sweet, funny and unexpected newlywed moments 😅

But I didn’t know it would become something I would enjoy this much.

Every episode I write makes me relive those moments all over again.

I laugh.

I remember things I had almost forgotten.

I even see some moments differently now as a married woman 😂

And the beautiful part is seeing how many of you are enjoying it with me, waiting for the next episode, dropping your own experiences in the comments, encouraging me to keep going.

I don’t take that for granted ❤️

This series has become more than storytelling for me.

It’s helping me preserve memories.

It’s helping me document a season of my life I never want to forget.

One day I’ll come back and read all these again and laugh.

Maybe even my children will read them someday and say,

“So mummy was this dramatic?” 😭😂

And yes… I was.

Very dramatic.

Especially over cake and freezer 😂

Thank you for following this journey with me.

Thank you for engaging.

Thank you for making me feel these memories all over again.

Please keep reading, keep commenting, keep laughing with me because honestly… the gist is still plenty 😄

And if you’ve been enjoying this series, let me know your favorite episode so far in the comments 👇❤️

More stories coming… and trust me, it gets sweeter.

Stay with me ❤️👀

23/04/2026

I’m really enjoying breaking down this bride journey with you all because this episode ehn… 😂 it taught me marriage doesn’t just start at “I do,” it starts in the little funny moments too.

So that afternoon, because of what my husband had jokingly told his mum ,asking when she was leaving so he could have his wife to himself 😭 my mother-in-law then said she wanted to go visit someone in Kuje,Abuja and might stay there till the next day, then take night bus back to the east .

Immediately I said,

“Ah Mommy nooo… just stay here na.” 😅

She said no, she had missed those people and wanted to see them.

And in my mind I was thinking…

What is happening here? 😳

What have this woman and her son planned?

Why is she agreeing to give us space like this?

What exactly does this man want to do again? 😭😂

My head was spinning.

Meanwhile my husband was just relaxed.

As if all this was normal.

No concern at all 😅

So my mother-in-law dressed up gently and left.

And this woman stayed out for hours o…

Hours 😭

Even me I was feeling somehow.

Like… is she intentionally giving us privacy?

And my husband?
This man no send at all 😂

Then toward evening she came back.

And immediately she entered, my husband said,

“Ah ah, I thought you had gone already?” 😭😂

I almost shouted.

I said this man has no fear.

But my mother-in-law just burst into laughter.

She was taking everything as fun.

And honestly I was shocked.

I thought she would be offended.

But no.

That was when I started realizing every family has its own style.

Because me?

I can never imagine asking my mother,

“When are you leaving?” 😭😂

But for my husband and his mother…

normal conversation.

No offence taken.

She understood the assignment.

And she was doing it perfectly 😂

Then the next day it was finally time for her to travel.

We followed her and my husband’s cousin to the park.

Waited there.

Settled them well.

Made sure they were comfortable before leaving.

And just when she was about entering the vehicle…

She said something that nearly made me disappear from this earth 😭😂

In Igbo she basically said:

“Now I’ve finally left your house, if you like you people can use any part of the house you want now…” 😂

Omo.

I wanted the ground to open.

I was so shy.

My husband was laughing.

I could not lift my face.

I just wanted to vanish 😂

Then before leaving she held us and gave us advice.

Real motherly advice.

Marriage advice.

And honestly…

If older people advise you before or early in marriage, listen.

Please listen.

Some things sound ordinary when they tell you.

You may think they are exaggerating.

But later…

you’ll understand why they said those things.

That day she said so much.

Some of it I took as ordinary talk.

Not knowing one day those same words would make deep sense.

After we dropped her…

and returned home…

that was when the real marriage started 😳

Yes.

Real marriage.

Not wedding.

Not honeymoon excitement.

Marriage marriage 😂

And ahhh…

that gist is for next episode.

If you’ve been following this story, just add more popcorn and groundnut at this point 😄

Stay tuned… it gets sweeter from here ❤️👀

23/04/2026

Good morning my people o 🙈💃

So where did I stop? 😅

Yes… I had packed my bag.

Fully packed.

Ready to leave my marriage… less than 24 hours after wedding 😭😂

I was crying like a baby while my husband was begging me.

In my head I was serious o.

I was leaving.😭

I was done.😭

Marriage has failed 😭

But as I stood there with my bag ready to go…

sense started coming small small 😂

I asked myself…

How exactly do I walk past my mother-in-law sitting in the parlour…
and my husband’s relatives sitting there too…

with bag in hand?

And explain what?

“That I am leaving because of hot pot on freezer?” 😭😂

Even me, I was ashamed.

But honestly I just wanted to show this man pepper🙈

I wanted to go so everybody would come and beg me 😅

New bride drama.

Premium version.

Then another thought entered my head…

My cake 😳

Yes.

My wedding cake in the freezer.

That was when another problem came.

How do I leave my marriage and leave my cake? 😂

Omo priorities.

I wasn’t even thinking about my clothes.

Not my belongings.

Not anything.

I was thinking about cake first 😭

Then I remembered I was supposed to go to my family house the next day to bring the rest of my things.

And I said to myself,

Okay… let me calm down.

I’ll pretend all is fine.

Tomorrow when I go home…

I’ll just stay there.

Simple.

Marriage cancelled quietly 😂

Meanwhile my husband was begging.

Then he said,

“Sleep first. Tomorrow morning you can go.” 😭

And I thought he was being serious.

Not knowing this man was finding the whole thing funny.

Then he said something that pained me 😂

He said,

“You never know how many times you’ll say you’re leaving in marriage… this is only your first one. Go mark register.” 😭😂

I said ah ah!🙆🏽‍♀️😩

So this man knows more than me.

This marriage thing has levels 😅

I was still forming vex.

Still doing petty wife.

Still crying small smalland and minding my lane 🙈

Then later that night this man started petting me, apologizing, doing small sweet talk…

You know… peace talks 😄

And somehow…

Everything became fine.

Please don’t ask me how the night ended well 😅

Just know peace returned.

And we slept well.

Very well 😂

The next morning I woke up…

in love again 😭

As if I didn’t want divorce the day before.

Love is a mystery 😂

Then my husband asked me,

“So… aren’t you leaving again?”

I said,

“I was just forming activity abeg.” 🙈😭😂

I could not even defend myself.

I just laughed.

That morning I went to the sitting room.

My mother-in-law and his relative were there.

We greeted.

We laughed.

We prayed over our new home.

Beautiful peaceful moment ❤️

Then my husband said he wanted to say something.

I thought he wanted to say something serious.

Do you know what this man said? 😭

He looked at his mother and asked:

“When are you people leaving?” 😂

I almost shouted.

I said this man wants to cause problem between me and my mother-in-law.

But my mother-in-law just burst into laughter.

She said she already noticed he had been restless because he wanted the house to himself 😭😂

She said,

“Don’t worry, I’ll go back tomorrow.”

My husband said,

“If possible go tonight.” 😂😂

I said ah ah!

This man no get shame.

He said he wanted to be free and enjoy his wife fully.

Sirrrr…

Enjoy what again? 😭

I was too shy.

That evening my mother-in-law even started packing her things.

And I knew another chapter was about to begin 😳

But let me stop here before this becomes a full season rather than episode 😂

If you’ve been following this story, go and buy popcorn and groundnut.

Add cold water too 😄

Because we are not leaving here anytime soon.

This gist is still plenty.

Stay tuned… the next episode gets even sweeter 😂👀

22/04/2026

I’m loving sharing this bride journey with you all 😂❤️ and this next part taught me very early that marriage is sweet… but marriage is also real 😅

So after our Thanksgiving service, we didn’t go back to the hotel.

No o 😄

Before leaving for church that morning, we had already packed all our things into our car boot.

Meaning after Thanksgiving… we were going straight to our house 😭❤️

As husband and wife.

Even saying “our house” felt strange and sweet.🙈😂

When we got home, my mother-in-law was there, some of my husband’s relatives too were around helping out and keeping us company.

Small welcoming committee 😂

Everybody was still in celebration mood.

And my husband started teasing them,

“Abeg o, this is now a married couple’s house… make una start going so I can be free with my wife!” 😂🙈

Everybody laughed.

This man was too excited 😭

We started warming some of the food sent to us from the wedding.

Somebody would be tasting jollof.

Somebody warming soup.

House smelling like celebration still 💃

Then we started opening our gifts.

Omo that part was sweet.

Unboxing gifts.

Reading names.

Remembering who brought what.😂

Smiling over every package.

It felt like opening little pieces of love ❤️

Then we unboxed the freezer my foster parent gave us.

Big gift o 😄

My husband quickly connected it because there was light.

We were admiring it like children with a new toy 😂

Then I started arranging the house the way I wanted.

At that point I was already feeling like real madam of the house 😅🙈Small girl like me 🙈

I started Moving things.

Positioning things.

Touching things for no reason 😭

Just enjoying being in my new home.

Then I served food.

Gave my mother-in-law.

Served myself.

My husband said he would eat from the pot.

And this was where…

our first marital offence happened 😳😂

This man carried a hot pot…

…and placed it on top of our brand new freezer 😭

Fresh freezer we just opened!

Omo I shouted.

Instinctively.

“Ah ah! Remove that pot na !”

First offence in marriage 😂

But the way I shouted ehn…

He didn’t like it.

At all.

And suddenly…

The loving groom of yesterday changed expression 😅

He felt embarrassed the way I corrected him in front of people.

And he responded with energy.

I responded with energy.

And just like that…

our first quarrel in marriage started 😭

Imagine.

Wedding yesterday.

First quarrel today 😂

I got upset and walked into the room.

And I cried.

I cried seriously.

I was saying to myself,

“Ah ah, is this how marriage is?” 😭

“My wedding was just yesterday o!”

“What kind of life is this?” 😂

I even started wondering if I was ready for marriage🥹😭😂

That was how dramatic I was 😅

Then this man came inside the room.

Started apologizing.

Saying he felt embarrassed and reacted badly.

I too was explaining,

“I was only trying to save the freezer!” 😭

But in my own new bride drama…

I packed bag 😂

Yes.

I packed bag to go to my mother’s house.

Don’t laugh 😭😂

I told him,

“I cannot do this marriage again!”

“Take me home!” 😂

And this man was looking at me like,

“We just married yesterday madam, where are you going?” 😭😂

He started begging.

Trying not to laugh.

Trying to settle me.

Meanwhile I was serious.

In my mind marriage had ended in less than 24 hours 😅

Omo…

If you think marriage starts with only romance and soft music, wait first 😂

That was how our first marital quarrel happened over hot pot and freezer.

And what happened after that? 😳

Did I really leave for my mother’s house?

Did the marriage survive Day 2? 😂

I’ll stop here.

I’ll tell you what happened next in my next episode.

If you’ve been following this story, thank you for following my journey ❤️
Please follow me and stay with me… this gist is getting deeper and sweeter 😄👀

22/04/2026

I’m really enjoying this series where I get to share my journey as a new bride 😂❤️ I hope you’re enjoying it too?🙈

So as soon as we got to church that Thanksgiving morning… ahhh 😅 come and see attention.

Everybody was looking at me.

And I mean everybody 😭

Children were running to hug me:

“Aunty congratulations!”
“Aunty bride!” 😂

They were so sweet.

But the women ehn…

Some were admiring me.

Some were looking at me with that deep “we know what has happened” kind of look 😭😂
That look that says “madam has crossed over…” 😂

I was so shy.

Meanwhile the men were busy congratulating my husband with strong handshakes.

“You are now a man!”
“Welcome!” 😂

And I’m like… what exactly is going on here please? 😭

Why is everybody behaving like I just returned from a serious mission?

Then the women started asking me the question of the day:

“How was your night?” 😳

One asked.

Then another.

Then another.

At some point I counted like four women asking me the same thing 😂

And in my head I was like…

Night ke? 😭🙈😂

Is my night different from every other night?

What exactly do you people want me to say? 😂

I just became a wife yesterday, allow me breathe 🙈😅

I was laughing, blushing, and trying to avoid eye contact.

Honestly I was shy but it was also fun.

Then it was time for Thanksgiving.

And the announcement came:

“Let us welcome the newest couple for Thanksgiving!”

Omo 😭

That was when everything changed.

Before I knew it, women gathered around me hailing me in proper Nigerian style 😂

Ululations filled the church ,that loud “eeeeeeiiiiiiiii! sound of joy 😭💃

Clapping everywhere.

Dancing everywhere.

Women were rejoicing with full energy.

“My daughter has crossed over!” 😂
“Our wife! Our wife!” 😭
“Congratulations ooo!” 💃

The women nearly carried me with celebration.

They were escorting me, dancing, and hailing me all the way to the altar like I was entering another wedding again 😂

My husband just stood up quietly and went on his own like men do 😄
Some men joined him too, shaking hands and smiling.

But me?

The women made sure I entered in full bridal thanksgiving glory 😭💃

That moment alone felt like a second entrance into marriage.

We danced to the altar in joy.

And then we were given the microphone.

My husband took it first and said,

“Before I say anything, I want to hand over to my dear wife…”

“My dear wife” ke? 😭😂

The church erupted again.

Women shouted.

Ululations increased.

People were hailing.

I was so shy I almost forgot how to stand properly 😅

I took the mic, greeted the church, thanked God, and appreciated everyone.

Then I gave it back to him.

And this man said,

“My wife has said it all.”

Sirrr 😭😂

Please say your own!

Don’t be using “my wife” to finish me in public like this 😂🙈

Everybody laughed.

Then my mother also collected the microphone 😄

And started her own thanksgiving.

At some point, my mother and mother-in-law were almost turning the thanksgiving into their own testimony session 😭😂

I just stood there watching everything like… this is too much joy in one day.

But honestly…

It was beautiful.

Love everywhere.

Joy everywhere.

Family everywhere ❤️

And after church…

We were no longer going back to the hotel.

This time, we were heading to our home… as husband and wife 😳

And what happened when we got home?

Ahhh… that one is for the next episode 😂🙈

If you’ve been following this journey, I love you so much ❤️
Stick around because there’s still plenty to tell 😄👀

22/04/2026

I’m really enjoying this series where I get to share my journey as a new bride 😂❤️ I hope you’re enjoying it too.

So… after that eventful first night 😅 we woke up the next morning.

And let me just say… everywhere in my body was introducing itself differently 😂
New bride things… let me leave it there🙈😂

I was feeling shy somehow… you know that New -wife kind of shyness 😭

Meanwhile oga was looking very pleased with life 😂
Like somebody who had just accomplished a long-term goal.

The excitement on his face that morning? Very suspicious 😭😂

Now we were supposed to get ready for church because it was our Thanksgiving Sunday.

And this was the part that shocked me…

I kept expecting my mother’s usual early morning call.

Nothing.

No call.

Just silence😩🥹

That was when my eye finally cleared 😂

I said ah… so they have officially handed me over and moved on like this?

No morning monitoring again? 😭😂

Instead, it was my friend that came knocking at our hotel door asking,

“Are we going to church or not?”

Then my husband’s friend too came asking what time service would start.

And that was when reality hit me…

Madam, you are somebody’s wife now 😅

Now let me tell you another sweet part 💃

That same Sunday that was supposed to be my wedding Thanksgiving happened to be our church Women’s Day celebration too.

And two weeks before then, the women’s department had called me saying:

“Our Women’s Day is falling on your Thanksgiving day.”

And I said immediately
“That makes it even sweeter because I want to be part of it!” ❤️

So instead of wearing the outfit I had planned for Thanksgiving, I wore our women’s attire for the celebration.

And listen 😂

That was the first proper lace blouse I ever sewed as a an adult .

My first women’s wrapper owned by me.

My first time tying wrapper as “wife material” 😭😂

Imagine becoming a new wife today and celebrating Women’s Day the very next day.

It felt so special.

And somehow that morning… I was glowing 😅

Hair still intact.
Lashes still standing.
Everything still complete 😂

Please don’t ask me too many questions 😄

Before church, I first stopped at my family house where my parents and siblings were.

And the way they hailed me ehn 😂

“Bride don come o “🙈💃

“Welcome to womanhood!” 😭

Everybody was teasing me.

My mom was helping me adjust my wrapper so I could represent well.

Then she looked at me, laughed and whispered:

“You don finally eat wetin dey hungry you… e go tire you!” 😂😂🙈

Omooooo 😭😂

I wanted the ground to open and swallow me.

Everybody laughed and I just hid my face like proper shy new bride 😂

Honestly that moment was too sweet and too funny.

Then I got to church…

And ahhh 😳

What happened during that Thanksgiving service and Women’s Day celebration deserves its own episode.

Let me stop here before this post becomes a novel 😂

If you’ve been following and enjoying this bridal journey, please don’t forget to follow me , It means a lot and helps me me know you want the next part.

Because what happened in church that day? 😅💃
That gist is too much for one post.

I’ll share it in my next episode…

Stay tuned… this bride story is still getting sweeter 👀🙈

22/04/2026

Now it was finally just the two of us in our hotel room ,the newest couple in town🙈 😂❤️

By that time, we had finished making a few calls, thanking people. My foster Parent even called to check on us and congratulate us, which made me smile.

After all the noise of the day, everywhere was suddenly quiet.

It felt strange… but beautiful.

We sat down, watched a movie for a while, laughed and started talking about everything that happened that day.

The missing earring drama 😂
The dancing.
The rain.
The cake I refused to leave behind 😭
Everything was becoming gist.

I know some of you are waiting for me to tell you what happened in that hotel room 😏😂

Relax…

This gist is for mature minds only.🙈😂

Before that night, my husband and I had already agreed that since we were staying in the hotel for just one night before moving into our home, we would wait and start our married life fully in our own house.

Yes o… we made plans 😄

So after the movie… we slept.

Yes. We slept 😂

What were you expecting? 😭

But wait…

Around 2 a.m… something happened 😳

I was sleeping peacefully, thinking oga beside me was sleeping too.

Not knowing this man was only acting tired 😂

Suddenly I started feeling movement…

Somebody was coming close in a way that made me open my eyes quickly 😅

I was like…
“Ah ah? What is going on here?”
Did I just hear Muah?🙈😂

Because I thought we had agreed not to🙈😭

I even reminded him in my mind,
“Sir… this was not the plan.”

Meanwhile this man had his own private plan 😂

After dancing all day, I didn’t know he was conserving energy for night shift 😭😂

That was how I discovered my husband had no intention of keeping the agreement we had o.😩

Oga said, Madam, marriage has started 😂🙈

And just like that… our “first night” story took a turn I did not see coming.

But what happened after that? 😏

That gist is for my next episode.

Stay tuned 😂👀

22/04/2026

As the reception was gradually coming to an end, the hall was beginning to empty.

The decorators had already started taking down their decorations, packing chairs and flowers…
The DJ too was already disconnecting his equipment. Music don stop 😂

That was when it started dawning on me that… ah, my wedding is actually over o 😭😂🤭

People were leaving one after the other, family members saying goodbye, gifts being gathered…

And my people started telling me,

“Bride, enter the car, let’s go to the hotel.”

But me?
I refused 😂😂

Because of my cake.

Yes… cake 😭

If you know me well, you know I don’t joke with pastries.

I kept saying,
“My cake is following me o. I’m not leaving it here!” 😂🙈

They were trying to convince me:

“We’ll bring it later…”

I said no.

That remaining wedding cake had to enter the same car with me 😄
I had plans for that cake that night 😂

So while everybody was trying to move things quickly, I was making sure my cake was secured first.

Priorities 😭😂

Eventually we settled it and headed to the hotel.

We even had plans for a small after-party, but honestly after all the dancing I did, my body had clocked out 😂

I just wanted to rest small… and maybe eat my cake in peace.

Then suddenly… rain started 😳

Heavy rain.

And this was November in Abuja o!
Who sees rain in November like that? 😭😂

After almost two months without rain, it chose my wedding night to appear.

And because of the rain, everything changed.

My husband had to rush back out to help my brothers pack gifts and move things before they got soaked.

Imagine groom under rain on his own wedding night helping to rescue gifts 😂😭

He said he couldn’t leave my brothers to do it alone.

Meanwhile me, after dancing as if I was competing for prize money, I couldn’t even move again 😂

So I stayed back while he went for “gift rescue mission” 😭

Thank God for friends too.

Some of our friends stayed back helping to arrange envelopes, gather gifts, and make sure nothing was missing.

People really showed up for us.

And one thing I appreciated so much was how my mom and mother-in-law were making sure foodstuffs got to our new home that same day.

Very important lesson for intending brides,make sure food enters your home after the wedding o 😄
It helps those first few days.

Eventually my husband came back from the rain, tired but smiling.

And finally it was just the two of us in the hotel.

After all the music, noise, dancing and celebration… everywhere became calm.

We sat down, watched a movie, laughed and just took in the fact that… we were married ❤️

And yes… we had plans for that night 😏😂

But let me stop here.

That gist is for the next episode 👀✨
And please… that one is for mature minds only 😄 Stay tuned.
