How They Met

From the Groom: It was a Saturday like any other, I was relaxing after a long week at work. A couple of the guys had asked me to come out that night but I had passed because I was exhausted. One of my very good friends Bose called to let me know that there was a 40th birthday party she wanted to invite me too. Initially I refused, because I was so tired, but then my sister from another Mother, Sase, called to ask what was going on that night.  I told her about the party but told her I was not sure I was going; she eventually convinced me to go. Sase is persuasive like that. So I jumped in the shower and got dressed, went to pick up Sase and was prepared to not stay very long at the event. We walk in and as I surveyed the room I notice her. Standing tall, commanding the room, gorgeous and with the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. She had this mane of hair on her head, looking all Amazonian and herbal. But there was one problem, she was hanging around this guy almost the whole night, so I was not sure she was single (he would turn out to be her older brother). I kept my eye on her all night and eventually she moved from the guy’s table to a table with a group of 5 – 6 of her girlfriends. As any man with sense knows, it is extremely dangerous to try to penetrate a pack of babes in the wild, especially when you are not sure the lady you are after is single. So I sent Sase to do some Mission Impossible and Inspector Gadget work for me. Sase came back and said that the coast was clear, she was single and that her name was Dupe. The whole time Sase was giving me grief because she said I was “dulling” and I should just go talk to her. But a gentleman waits until the right moment, right? When I saw my opening, I walked up to her. She had her back to me, I put my hand on the small of her back, leaned in and said “Dupe right?” She turned around and smiled……and the rest is history.

You Make Loving You So Easy

From the Groom…I honestly love her heart. Mathilda has one of the biggest hearts you will ever find in a person, open, giving and loving almost to a fault. I also love the fact that we are friends first, makes everything else easier.

From the Bride…To find a man who puts you first is amazing. I love Osa’s selfless spirit in everything he does he thinks about us not just himself .
