A Nigerian man has warmed hearts across social media after officially marrying a lady he met years ago during their National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program. The pair’s beautiful love story began in a rather unexpected way — with a borrowed pen during one of their Community Development Service (CDS) meetings. Their story, now turned into a viral wedding video, has become an inspiration to many who believe love can blossom in the most ordinary moments.
A Love Story Born at NYSC CDS
According to reports, the couple first met during their mandatory NYSC service year, where the bride frequently borrowed a pen from the groom each time they had CDS meetings. What started as a series of lighthearted exchanges eventually built a friendship that grew stronger over time.
Their connection deepened as they continued to interact during group activities, community projects, and NYSC events. Friends reportedly teased them about their closeness back then, but neither of them knew that those small, casual moments would one day lead to a lifelong commitment.
From Borrowed Pen to Wedding Bells
Years later, their story took a romantic turn when the couple decided to tie the knot. In a touching TikTok video shared by @ateeveeshow, the once-young corpers are seen celebrating their big day surrounded by family, friends, and fellow ex-corp members. The video beautifully captures their joy, laughter, and deep affection for each other.
During the reception, the groom lit up the dance floor with his vibrant moves, while his bride, equally energetic, matched his every step. Guests cheered loudly, celebrating their love and reminiscing about how a simple act during NYSC eventually led to this unforgettable day.
The video’s caption humorously read: “That Corper wey been dey borrow your pen for NYSC CDS don dey borrow your username now,” implying how casual acquaintances can evolve into deep, lasting relationships.
‘Omo, Your Soulmate Fit Dey CDS’
The post, which quickly gained traction, carried a playful yet heartfelt message to current corps members, reminding them that they might just meet their future spouse during service. “Na CDS you dey miss? Omo, your soulmate fit dey there o,” the caption added, sparking laughter and curiosity across the online community.
Social media users were thrilled by the story, with many flooding the comment section to express admiration for the couple. Several people called their story a “testimony of destiny,” while others joked about attending CDS meetings more often just in case love was waiting for them too.
Netizens React with Love and Laughter
The heartwarming video has since attracted thousands of likes and shares, with viewers commenting on how unpredictable love can be. Some remarked that the couple’s journey is proof that genuine love stories still exist, while others used the opportunity to tag their friends and share personal NYSC memories.
Many netizens described the union as “a divine connection” and celebrated the power of small beginnings. One user wrote, “Who would have thought a borrowed pen could lead to a lifetime partnership?” Another added, “This is the kind of story that gives hope — love can truly find you anywhere.”
Their story continues to trend across TikTok and other social platforms, serving as a reminder that destiny often unfolds in unexpected ways — even through something as simple as lending a pen during CDS.
