Chicago Loop Engagement Session: Coniah + Gboyega

Coniah and Gboyega met in 2012 at a mutual friend’s housewarming party in Washington D.C. At the time Kobe Bryant was going though a divorce and upon meeting each other, Coniah and Gboyega got into a debate about prenuptial agreements. Let them tell it, they haven’t ceased to debate with each other about any and everything til this very day. Lol. They both love to debate, but when it came to falling in love with one another, there was no debating there. Coniah recalls, “I remember thinking that he was so stubborn, just like me, but if I could get him to bend for me, then we would probably have a good time”. These two lovebirds have been inseparable ever since. Coniah & Gboyega are set to wed this November 11th! I cannot wait to celebrate with them both!

“…his charm, he really makes the world fall in love with him. He has a natural warmth that attracts everyone.” ~Coniah

“I love when we are both genuinely laughing about something — laughter has a way of making you feel free and it’s great when we have that feeling together.” ~Gboyega

“Her genuine smile is beautiful. You can see the truth behind it— like she is really happy or enjoying something.” ~Gboyega

“I always dreamt of being married and having a family but I could never identify the face of the woman. It wasn’t until Coniah and I started dating that the face in those dreams were clearly Coniah. It was kind of a surreal realization after a couple random reoccurring dreams.” ~Gboyega

“Gboyega went above and beyond on the proposal. He tricked me into thinking we were going to a private art gallery event. He actually rented a banquet room at the Waldorf Astoria and displayed all of our photos together around the room like a photo gallery. He had a photographer capture the moment when he proposed and then the staff served us dinner and wine... He thought of every detail. My favorite flowers were in the room, there were shadow boxes with inside jokes. The photos followed the evolution of our relationship and ended with our move to Chicago. It was perfect.” ~Coniah

“The excitement of what the future will bring. Imaging who we both are today and what we can both become together is motivating to me. The passion and dedication to keep working on ourselves and the relationship keeps me in love.” ~Gboyega
