Pre-Wedding Pictures Emerge as Nigerian Couple Who Met on 2go 12 Years Ago Set to Tie the Knot
- Two Nigerians who got to know each other on a formerly popular social media platform, 2go, are set to walk down the aisle
- Sharing their story on Instagram, the bride-to-be revealed he was bent on dating her when they got talking back in 2011
- More than a decade down the line, they went from acquaintances to friends and are now set to seal their relationship
A Nigerian lady, Florence Nwankpa, is set to marry a man she met on 2go about 12 years ago.
Founded by Alan Wolff and Ashley Peter in Johannesburg, South Africa, 2go was the reigning social network in Nigeria several years back before the likes of Facebook and Instagram took over.
Florence said her man wanted to date her from the get-go
In an Instagram post on Friday, December 1, Florence recalled how they connected on 2go in 2011, adding that he was bent on dating her from the onset but she was not down for it.
Surprisingly, Florence got admitted to a university located in the state he was based in and that kick-started what would lead to their forthcoming wedding.
She went on to share their throwback pictures alongside pre-wedding photos. Her lengthy Instagram story read in part:
"...Rewind to 2011 when I met him on 2go, he was bent on having a date with me but I wasn’t ready at the moment.
"On a certain Saturday morning, he visited my church without prior information. He sat next to me at the other row, (I didn’t notice because I’ve not seen him before) and took pictures of me while service was ongoing.
"...Surprisingly, I got admitted into the university in the same state where he was schooling and friendship became stronger. Fast forward to now….. we are getting married.
