How it all began
Sola and Afolabi’s story started as a modern fairytale, the envy of Disney’s best screenwriter: on a dating app. Afolabi was quite shy so Sola broke the ice and initiated the first conversation. Afolabi eventually warmed up but would only respond to Sola every 24 or so hours. Despite Afolabi’s prolonged response time however, he was steadfast and never failed to put a smile on Sola’s face when he would eventually respond.
As fate would have it, a young maiden who happened to be Sola’s friend was celebrating a birthday in DC and invited Sola to join in the festivities. Sola remembered that Afolabi lives near DC and texted him to see if he would like to meet up after the grand festivities. Afolabi happily accepted and a time was set.
Afolabi invited Sola to an enchanting locale for their first date: Matchbox restaurant in Fairfax. Here, Sola and Afolabi enjoyed getting to know each other better as Afolabi’s sparse responses over text had prevented this from happening earlier. Afolabi was quite charmed by Sola that he immediately asked to see her a second time. Sola happily accepted and a time was set.
Sola invited Afolabi for a whimsically magical evening at a bowling alley. Legend has it that Afolabi is still licking his wounds after Sola beat him at bowling that night. After bowling, Sola and Afolabi decided to spend more time together and went to dinner again that evening. After dinner, Afolabi knew he had to see Sola again and Sola was also excited to continue seeing Afolabi.
And the rest is history
