hello my vj family:

I just want to break the news to you all. Uchenna proposed to me today. I was so surprised. He called me around 4am this morning and asked me over the phone. Right now Im walking on cloud nine. Im so so happy. I never even imagine this happening to me. I had to share this with my vj family first. I know people will be negative so I won't tell my family here yet. I know its early in our relationship but I just love him so much. Oh, and I did say yes!!! :yes::yes::yes: !!!!!!!!!!!

Im so excited and I just can't hide it. Im about to lose control!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance::dance::dance:

I do want to say congrats to you and your fiance. Do enjoy this time of feeling deeply in love with your fiance, I can remember when Victor asked me to marry him, the first time was over the phone, then again during my first visit to Nigeria, brotha man got down on his knee and did it the right way. My head was up in the clouds somewhere thinking that I had found my soulmate and nobody, nowhere couldn't tell me that this man didn't love me, as much as I love him. I wish you well, if you don't mind me asking ; what's your fiance religious side like ?

If my Uchenna wasn't here with me, I would probably assume that you were referring to my husband! :lol: Common unisex Igbo name...

I married into the Igbo family. His mother a Pentalcostal religion,she's always been really nice to me even today as her son and I are going thru our divorce. Can't really say much on that tho, since we are still in the process of divorcing. But in time I will be able to tell some details. What to look out for once your fiance arrives and such. I'm no expert but I just want the USC ( male and female ) to be aware of certain actions that their loving spouse intentionally start doing to attempt to get away or to make you ask him to leave.

But I still have to say Uchegirl, I think that there are good people everywhere.
