Adeleke recalled that his wife sent him a message in his DM and requested that they become friends in the first place.
He agreed to be her friend, and they arranged to meet physically at a location.
During their first physical meeting, he stated that his wife asked him if they could start dating each other, and even though he was not sure about himself wanting a serious relationship at that point, he said yes to her request, and their love story began from there.
‘‘Wifey and I met here on Facebook. She came to my DM and requested that we be friends. Friends we became, then we both decided to meet physically.
‘‘Our first meeting went well. Although, according to her, I was looking like a masquerade because of my bushy, uncombed hair, which almost put her off.
‘‘In the days after our first meeting, she asked if I think we could date, and even though I wasn’t 100% sure if I wanted a committed relationship at the time, I said yes,’’ he noted.
Adeleke penned touching message to his wife, after their wedding, ‘‘Within a short while, I realised I had reached my last bus stop relationship-wise. This lady is:
Full of positive vibes.
Very supportive, dependable, and caring.
Quite industrious.
A smartass.
Unmaterialistic.
‘‘So courageous (cause it takes courage to date a blind man).
Has a healthy dose of self-esteem.
And a good match for my playful nature.’’
Adeleke said ‘‘Contrary to public opinion and some dumb comments on Legit.ng, I didn’t, and still don’t have money. Wifey’s attraction to me has nothing to do with money. In fact, she’s the one always ready to offer me financial assistance whenever she noticed I’m broke.
‘‘Attempts were made to discourage her from marrying me, but woman said it has to be Demmy. Truth is, it has to be Temmy too. I mean, we relate more like siblings/buddies, than lovers. We are just too comfortable and free around each other.
‘‘We courted for almost two beautiful years before deciding to be husband and wife. And I believe that this shall be the best decision of our lives. Happy married life to us. ’’
