Top Nigerian wedding photographer proposes to his lover in Dubai

Beauty and love came together to lay the foundation for the special day Nigerian photographer, Jide Kola decided to make an honest woman out of his long-time girlfriend, Cynthia.

The couple had been planning a trip to Dubai for a while. Due to work, Jide kept cancelling. Unknown to Cynthia, it was all in the plan to make the moment very special for both of them.

When they finally made it to the beautiful city of lights, Cynthia had suspected that her man was going to pop the question. In a bid to catch him in his tracks, she searched every where for the ring but was left disappointed when her effort was fruitless.

To her surprise however, Kola did it just how she described to him that she wanted. Her excitement knew no bounds. Cynthia said yes to her man and now they have a wedding to plan for.

Describing the special moment, Cynthia said: "Jide had been owing me a vacation to Dubai for so long, in fact I had a Dubai flight ticket that had been rescheduled more than thrice, because there’s always one wedding or the other making him busy. I can’t complain too much, I’m dating a workaholic. I’ve always wanted an intimate proposal, but with the most important people to me involved – my brother and my best friends. I believe I might have mentioned this in passing and he was attentive enough to catch it (don’t wanna give him the credit of being so accurate with his plan

We packed for the trip, Dubai here we come… Finally! I searched his whole house for a ring, the whole travel boxes… No ring; so this guy won’t propose to me in this our Dubai Waka. When we got to Dubai, he took me shopping to buy a dress and said we were going to a house party with his long time friend that lives in Dubai, i tried on a few dresses and we arrived at one. I should have guessed.

We left for the party later that evening, his long time friend took us there, and on opening the door to the “house party”; boom! It was our pictures, and balloons and rose petals, with gentle music playing in the background. He led me to the balcony and I saw four of our closest friends holding balloons. Nobody told me y’all were in Dubai."
