Mr Shodipo Olawale might pass for a no-timewaster in the hunting process for a befitting wife. While others might want to have a second guess or thought before confirming ‘Mrs Right’,
Olawale knew what he wanted and upon sighting his beautiful wife at a church gathering, knew the search game a bride had indeed ended.
The lovebirds courted for seven years before sealing the process four years ago. Even after welcoming a child together, their love flame never dimmed. Both are continuously rooting for each other and doing so in love.
