In a heartwarming revelation on Instagram, Florence Nwankpa, a Nigerian woman, took her followers on a nostalgic journey by sharing a throwback photo alongside her partner, juxtaposed with recent prewedding snapshots.
The captivating love story unfolded in a series of posts, capturing the essence of a connection that transcended time and space.
Florence expressed her gratitude, stating, “To God be the glory 🙏. To every love, there is a love story 😍😍🥰❤️,” before delving into the extraordinary tale of how a chance encounter on the now-vintage chatting platform, 2go, blossomed into a lifetime of love.
The narrative rewinds to 2011 when Florence first crossed paths with her now-fiancé on 2go. Despite his persistent efforts to secure a date, she wasn’t ready at that moment. However, fate had other plans.
On a Saturday morning, he surprised her by showing up unannounced at her church. Little did she know, he discreetly captured candid moments of her during the service.
“When I got home, I received my pictures taken at closed range inside the church. I was very angry because I wasn’t in my best outfit (Mum’s gown and shoes 🤣🤣🤣),” Florence humorously recounted.
Despite her initial reluctance, their friendship deepened over time. The turning point came on December 6, 2013, Florence’s birthday.
A phone call from her admirer turned into an unexpected but thoughtful gift exchange, with her younger brother sent to collect the birthday present.
To her surprise, it was a large portrait of her 2go profile picture, marking a moment of both boldness and intentionality.
As destiny would have it, Florence gained admission to a university in the same state where her 2go acquaintance was pursuing his education.
The proximity fostered a stronger bond, leading to the culmination of their love story — a forthcoming wedding in 2023.
The hashtag #Two2Go2023 has now become the symbol of their journey, encapsulating the incredible odyssey from online chats to real-world romance, proving that sometimes, love finds its way in the most unexpected places.
