A Nigerian couple, Dr. Emmanuel Joseph and Grace Gideon Akpan, have melted hearts online after finally walking down the aisle following 18 years of dating.
The lovebirds, who began their relationship as teenagers, exchanged vows on October 11, 2025, in Akwa Ibom State, surrounded by family and friends.
To celebrate their remarkable love story, the couple recreated an adorable photo from their secondary school days in 2007 as part of their pre-wedding shoot. The nostalgic gesture has since gone viral, earning them praise for their long-lasting bond and commitment.
Back in August 2025, Emmanuel, who is now a medical doctor, shared a photo collage of himself and Grace showing their transformation over the years — from young students to life partners.
Captioning the post, he proudly wrote: “We made it. 18 years later.”
