how we met
From the bride Mariam:
I met my husband Oluwati Damilare on Twitter (now called X) in 2020. Our first interactions were far from romantic, and we didn’t even like each other at first. We are both big fans of the artist Davido, but we never interacted on friendly terms. Instead, we regularly saw each other’s tweets but never followed each other. Then came the fateful day of the Cardi B vs. Nicki Minaj debate. Damilare tweeted against Nicki and for some reason I took it personally. In a flurry of tweets, I said some things I later regretted.
To make amends, I slid into his DMs and apologized. To my surprise, he brushed it off and said he wasn’t taking it seriously and that there was no need to worry. We continued to follow each other after that, but we didn’t communicate much. After a while, I noticed that his tweets had disappeared from my timeline. Worried, I went back to his DMs to check on him and found out he had coronavirus. Once he recovered, I decided to visit him. What started as a simple check-in turned into so much more and now we live together and share a love that started as a Twitter feud and blossomed into a beautiful relationship. From social media skirmishes to cohabitation, our stories prove that love can truly be found in unexpected places.
