LIB reader shares his love story...how he married the woman who sent him a friend request on FB

Five years ago, Rex accepted a Facebook friend request from a pretty lady...today, they are husband and wife. Read the heartwarming story below...
About 5 years ago precisely in January 2011 while on a business trip overseas on a particular morning at the hotel lobby, I noticed a friend request from a face I thought looked appealing to my eyes. I accepted.
We chatted a few times then met for the first time after 6 months(in June 2011) and like they say the rest is history. Fast forward to January 2016, on the 9th and the 16th, we had our traditional and white wedding respectively and presently enjoying our honeymoon in Dubai which is the city where I was in January 2011 when I received that famous friend request. I thought you might use our story to encourage other girls to go ahead and send that friend request or DM. Lol. 
Below are photos from the wedding and honeymoon in Dubai

  30. I met my husband via Facebook as well. I met my best friend on Facebook. I've made good friends via Facebook and IG. It's just like meeting someone at a party. So many options but you settle for the one you connect most with. And you get to talk to the person and know all about them before you physically meet them.

  56. I'm getting married soon to a man dat I ve going to b my worst nightmare in life. I can't even quit d wedding cos it's already close. He's not even willing to contribute to anything dat concerns me abt the wedding. I can't even say I m happy marrying him. We r just doing it to please our various families. This man has never complimented me, he has a side chic he loves n compliments. He doesn't believe a wedding shld b planned well. We don't communicate well, just pretend to each oda for d sake of peace. I can't wait for evrytn to b over. Living in bondage part 3. I ll definitely work out of d marriage once I can't take it abymore.

    2. Pls quit now,a broken relationship is better than a broken marriage.pls pls and pls God hate divorce. Tho its not easy but pls do it for ur future sake

      Delete
    3. So why the he'll are you marrying him? You must have a very low self esteem. You're lucky you've found out who he is before the wedding and you're still going ahead with it??? Are you OK at all? Which too close, have you not heard of people that called off wedding on the wedding day? My dear if you value your life and happiness better call off that wedding or prepare for a life of misery, in sure he'll start beating you sef. Forget about all the money you've spent, it will be replenished in 10 folds in the future. Please value your life.

      Delete
    4. Sweetie you sound so depressed n unenthusiastic as a bride to be should. Y marry a man dt already has a side chick? Y can't he bring himself to compliment you? Can u call dt love? Must u marry a man to please ur family? U better leave when u can.

  79. Rex David! Congratulations and Happy Married Life to you and your lovely wife. I am so jealous of both of you and I pray your love for one another never dies.

    I am however appalled by the negative mindset of so many people here, many of whom have nothing great going on for them and all they could pick on is how big someone's head is. When will Nigerians move on from negativity? Rex and his lovely wife don't need our negativity at all; they've made their beds and are enjoying it. If you don't have any good will to send their way, then keep living your life as they don't care what you say about them.

    Ride on in majesty Rex!!! You're a very cute and gorgeous man. Your lovely wife is happy to have met you!!!
