What would you do if a stranger who just happens to be your namesake slides into your Instagram DMs? For Trust, it was just an opportunity to be friends with a guy whose name was also Trust.

However, on the other hand, Trust made his intentions clear and even though he had hopes for something more, he respected the pace and chose to build a genuine friendship first. Like every meaningful friendship, theirs blossomed, not just over time, but with intention and patience. Eventually, their bond grew too special to ignore, and they became inseparable. Now, it’s the start of something magical, as Trust planned the most beautiful surprise proposal for his baby girl. With so much excitement, she said Yes to the man who had completely stolen her heart!

Their love story as shared by Trust:

Trust and I crossed paths on Instagram. He first reached out to me in November 2023. At the time, I wasn’t open to the idea of a relationship. But looking back now, I see that day for what it truly was-divinely orchestrated. What first caught his attention was my name…we’re namesakes! From the very beginning, he was honest about his intentions. But I wasn’t ready for a relationship, let alone a long-distance one. I declined, and he respectfully asked if we could remain friends. I agreed, and we kept in touch.

That continued until August 2024, when we had a disagreement…what you might call a “friends fight”…and didn’t speak for two months. But after that break, he came back into my life, and our daily conversations quickly became something I looked forward to. When we finally met in person everything changed. That meeting sealed it for me…and the rest, as they say, is history.

I had fallen in love with Trust. Quietly, steadily, and deeply. Love bloomed in the gentle spaces created by his patience, consistency, and kindness. I couldn’t imagine life without him. For the first time, I truly understood what it meant to love and be loved in return. I said “YES” to being his girlfriend in December 2024.Now, I clearly see what I almost let go of. He’s not just my husband-he’s my best friend, my answered prayer, the encapsulation of my silent prayers, and the love of my life.

Our journey wasn’t conventional, but it’s ours-and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.
