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.
