The new husband and the wife share a passionate kiss

The couple, Tayo and Oliver Arkle met in high school back in 2003, they were placed in the same reading class because their last names began with Letter ‘A’.

The first time Oliver asked her out, her first response was “no”, which she immediately felt terrible about, so the same night she phoned Oliver to see if he was ok. His mum answered the phone and after handing it to him, they began talking endlessly, initiating a beautiful friendship.

Tayo denied her future husband a date.

From then on, Oliver and Tayo became inseparable lovers. He proposed to her on the 19th of January 2014, at the Heathrow Airport. The couple tied the knot this past weekend.

We wish them a happy married life.
