For Victor Chukwuka Ibekwe and Fransisca Ukamaka Ibekwe of
Orsu Local Government Area in Imo State, their love story
was full of exciting memories. Mr. Ibekwe was recently joined
in holy matrimony with his wife whom he says is the love of
his life. The couple tells you there is no better source of
joy than to be in-love with someone who cherishes and loves
you much more than words can describe.
How we met
December 2005 was a year that will ever remain evergreen in
my memory. This was precisely the time I met my wife. Our
meeting took place in Amazu community where we had gone for
an engagement/traditional wedding ceremony. Immediately I
set my eyes on her, there was this feeling I had within me
and I needed nobody to tell me that she is the one meant for
me. So I walked up to her, and told her how I felt for her.
She told me she wants to pray about it.
Attraction
First and foremost, she is very lovely and likable person.
Very warm. Though she is quite young, she behaves very maturedly
and I see her as one who has a very good understanding of
life dynamics. The way she comported herself at that event
pulled her to me. Besides this, I was most attracted by her
height.
Previously engaged
Oh my God, this is an interesting question. If it had turned
out that she was previously engaged to another man and then
accepted to marry me, that wouldn’t have been something
difficult for me to handle. If it happened she had taken a
vow with someone else before and he came on the engagement
day for her, I would not have done anything stupid. I would
have asked her, do you need me or you need the other guy?
And I would have told her that whosoever she chose, I will
abide by it. So I would have allowed her to decide. If she
wanted him, fine, I’ll allow her go with him and immediately
end the ceremony. Marriage is not a do or die affair.
Wife
Attraction
I noticed he is a complete gentleman. He is some one who does
not boast of his wealth or whatever he has, like other men
do. I also observed this at the time he was making his intention
known to me, he was down-to-earth and there was no atom of
pride in him, I took about a month to give a though to his
marriage proposal. I put it in prayer. I even went to my Reverend
Father, Maria Frank Oguike to assist me in prayer before I
accepted his proposal.
Likes
From the time I accepted his offer till date, I have come
to love him so much because he is not a troublesome person,
he loves peace, I like him too because he prays with me always.
He is a real child of God. His love for me makes me love and
appreciates him.
Dislike
Well, there is nothing I do not like about him. May be I have
not discovered anything yet. I appreciate all he does.
Proposal
His proposal and marriage to me have really changed a lot
of things in my life. From 2005 to 2007 when he took me to
the altar, he did a lot of things that swept me off my feet.
He handled me like an egg that should not drop. The way he
plays with me, no man has ever played with me in such a manner.
For the period our courtship lasted, he desired and cherished
my company even more than food. Till date, he is never tired
of having me by his side. This makes me feel special.
Parents/in-laws
They were just so excited we were getting married. My mother,
brothers and sisters gave their consent without looking back.
His parents also are happy that we are united in holy wed
luck. |
