The Proposal

February 14th 2025

Valentine’s Day, the one day made for love, became the day our forever began. Adedeji had flown into Winnipeg to surprise Alexis at her salon with flowers and chocolates (as every true Yoruba gentleman should). Alexis smiled, thinking that was the whole Valentine’s surprise… but God had much more in store. That evening, Adedeji told her they were heading to a friend’s dinner. She got dressed, completely unaware that she was walking straight into one of the most unforgettable moments of her life. As she entered the space, Alexis was met with beautiful décor, warm faces, and the joyful presence of friends gathered to witness something extraordinary. And then she saw it, the setup, the atmosphere, the love in Adedeji’s eyes. In the background, both of their parents joined on a live video call, ready to bless the moment from miles away. Surrounded by community and covered in love, Adedeji got down on one knee and asked Alexis to spend forever with him. He planned the most thoughtful, romantic evening that neither of them will ever forget.
