Sophy Ijeoma who was at a friend’s wedding party saw the message on Amedu’s timeline on facebook and responded with a playful message, saying: "Am interested, just DM me...lols."
Ijeoma, a makeup artist told CNN that she "jokingly replied." "I never knew he was serious about the post," she added. The couple had been friends on Facebook for a year but had little interaction.
Meanwhile, Amedu, who felt he was "of age" to get married said: "I had given myself a timeline and I didn't want to wait anymore."
His words: "She likes and comments on my posts from time to time. I was surprised that she replied the message and so it piqued my interest and I immediately messaged her. At first, her family thought I was not serious but I proved to them that I was”.
