Berry and Cakes met in March, 2012 at The Waterbrook Church, in Lekki, Lagos. Berry had recently joined the church two months earlier and joined the Dance and Drama Ministry (eXpressions), while Cakes had been going for years and worked in the Children's Ministry.
Cakes' friends/housemates were involved in eXpressions, and it was during rehearsal (Hosea, The Musical) that Cakes first saw Berry. While she was generally shy, her acting was bold and Cakes couldn't help but watch her in admiration. Shortly after, during a midweek Wednesday service, the pastor closed the sermon and asked everyone to look for 5 new people and introduce themselves. Cakes seized the opportunity...
Cakes: Hi!
Berry: *startled cos he came from nowhere* Hi :)
Cakes: I want to get to know you
Berry: LOL (she thought he was singing one of the lines from Hosea, the Musical). Sure. What's your name?
Cakes: Cakes
Berry: I'm Berry. What do you do?
Cakes: I bake cakes.
Berry: Wha?! Ooooooh, nice! Can we be best friends?
Cakes: YES! Can I get a hug?
Berry: Okay!
*big hug*
They exchanged numbers and Berry hoped he'd call. She even told her sisters in the States that she'd met someone and wanted to marry the cute 'Cake Guy'. A week later, he hadn't called and Berry took the initiative and sent him a text message, saying hello. He called her immediately!
And that was the beginning of our story...
