Today is our official proposal Saturday… (just kidding).

We just couldn’t help but share Dami & Wale’s cute flash mob proposal. The couple got engaged in August last year  (2014) and are getting married in August this year (2015). Wale proposed at the Times Square in Dami’s favorite city – New York City with a flash mob dancing to Dami’s best song – On Top Your Matter by Wizkid.

How They Met

“Sometimes, God just smiles at you and grants you a precious gift you didn’t even ask for. It’s beautiful to have someone that gets me inside out, loves me unconditionally, has my best interest at heart, and constantly challenges me to be a better person”

– Wale
