Lauretta and Zekeri’s love story didn’t begin with a spark—it grew quietly over the years.
They went to the same nursery, primary, and secondary school, and later, the same university.
Their paths never really crossed despite being in the same spaces for so long.
Zekeri was a school prefect in secondary school, someone Lauretta recognized from a distance.
Even during university, she saw him around campus, but he never noticed her.
Everything changed in 2019 during a bus trip from Benin City to Lagos.
According to BellaNaija, Lauretta had been feeling unwell on that day, dealing with menstrual cramps and just hoping to get through the long ride.
Then Zekeri sat beside her.
Needing a distraction, she struck up a conversation.
What started as small talk quickly turned into something meaningful.
They talked with ease, laughed without effort, and connected as if they’d known each other their whole lives.
It wasn’t love at first sight—it was, as Lauretta said, “love at first conversation.”
That single moment became the turning point for everything that followed.
Their bond deepened over time, eventually blossoming into a romance.
Today, they’re preparing for a future together.
Their pre-wedding photos capture more than just two people in love—they capture a journey that began with familiarity and grew into something lasting.
Their story reminds us that sometimes, the right person may have been near all along.
