Soon to wed couple, Dami and Wale got engaged in August 2014 with an exciting proposal which happened at New York City’s Times Square with a flash mob – a seemingly random group of people dancing along to the same song – in this case, On Top Your Matter by Wizkid.

They were walking out of a store, then …it happened!

17th October, 2013 – Many Skype calls, voice calls and instant messages later, with tears of joy in his eyes, Wale asks Dami to be his girlfriend. Dami accepts. She has no doubt this is “The One”.

17th December, 2014 – Dami lands at the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia, USA to meet Wale, for the first time in three months. Wale is waiting with open arms and a bouquet of flowers. He literally sweeps Dami off her feet as they hug. Dami and Wale spend threeweeks together over the Christmas holidays – their best time ever. By the time Dami is returning to Nigeria, they both know in their hearts that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives 

together. The rest is history.

Proposal Story:

Three months into our relationship, I knew Dami was going to be my wife. Obviously, if someone is going to be your wife, you have to propose to her at some point … LOL … and so began the brainstorming on the perfect proposal. You see, Dami is a kind of girl that’s full of giant romantic fantasies, thanks to years of reading Mills and Boon. I sure had my work cut out for me. Which was fine though, because she is also the kind of girl that’s deserving of the proposal of her dreams. By this time in the relationship, we were already talking about the future. So of course, she knew a proposal was in the offing. She just didn’t know how or when. 

We went to Hawaii together in March, 2014 and I knew she thought it may be happening there. But no way! It would take more than getting down on one knee at a beach in Maui to give Dami the surprise of her life. So the brainstorming continued. I knew there were three key ingredients to giving Dami the proposal of her dreams and eliminating any chance of her saying “NO”. 1. It had to be at a place close to her heart (Maui wasn’t a candidate), 2. Family/friends had to be around 3. It had to be grand.

Then one day, while I was working out at the gym, I had a light bulb moment. I knew exactly what to do. And so I got to work, making phone calls, and researching. One of the first things I had to do was to figure out Dami’s ring size. Enter Agent Flakky Chan (Dami’s elder sister) who executed this task with precision. Another person I got on the phone with was Lupe, Dami’s favorite cousin. She was so stoked when I told her about the plan, and signed up immediately. I also involved some of Dami’s close friends in her favorite city, texting back and forth with them, sometimes even while Dami was right next to me.

The last piece in the puzzle was planning a trip to New York. That was the easiest part of the job, since Dami LOVES New York. Well, I got Dami into New York, threw in her favourite song at the time, and the rest, as they say, is history.

They are getting married on the 29th of August in Dubai, whoosh! 

A pleasant surprise proposal that sent the bride rolling on the floor :)

You know the good thing about surprise proposals, they make the ladies do things they never imagined!
The other day, a surprise proposal sent a lady under the table (HERE) but this time, the lady involved was so stunned that she actually didn't know when she found herself on the floor (no she didn't pass out), she was just overwhelmed!
The groom-to-be is Daniel Olatunde while the bride-to-be is Taiye Legunsen and the proposal happened yesterday, June 3rd!

Daniel's Narration
"It started last year October when I went to her office to purchase device, yes I was attracted to her  but she attended to me professionally with a straight face.

She didn't conclude my transaction and directed me to another desk where it would be done, but in my mind I wanted her to complete the transaction. Anyways I finished and left.

Fast forward to the 18th February, this year, I was there again and she attended to me but my card didn't swipe on POS. So she offered that I could drive down to get cash from an ATM and pay via cash instead.

I asked her how she knew I had a car and she said already saw the key. After withdrawing the cash from the ATM, I returned and found her attending to someone else, so I waited till she attended to me.

I didn't have any intention that moment but she was so pleasant and I requested for her name and surname after which I got to sit back to request for her phone number.

I called her after 3 days but she was rushing somewhere that morning and I promised to call back but when I was free to call, i felt it was late. I had to respect her privacy,  knowing the fact that it is out of place to call a lady after 8:30pm.

However, she called me 2 days later and said I didn't call as promised and I apologized.

I had to ask when it was out of place not to call her and she told me 10:30pm.

That night I called before 10pm and somehow, we were on the phone till about 1am which affected her sleep pattern cos we continued gisting till late everyday after work.

We had our first date one evening after work and it was a pleasant outing at a garden.  I found her to be a wonderful woman, strict, strong willed, a no nonsense lady, I call her a perfectionist.

And that is how I decided to be her shuffer after work which gives me pleasure and to have a cap of our daily events. That is how we got closer daily.

Proposal:
 








A few months I decided to make her my woman!

It was her birthday,  June 3rd and I felt the best gift I could give her was a surprise proposal.  I showed up at her office, she was glad cos she felt it was a surrise visit, music was being played and peeps came in with me.

She was stunned when i went on my knees to propose to her!

She said YES but not before the mild drama that played out :).

I can't wait to have her by my side forever... I love her so much.
