Jeremy And Maame’s Beautiful Love Story Will Remind You Of The Girl Next Door

Some people cross borders to find love, some have to fight their way through hurdles to experience it, while some, it’s just right there across the street, in the person of their beautiful neighbour who they hardly talked to for fifteen years! yup, that was a snippet of the beautiful love story of Jeremy and Maame. If you have ever seen the movie “girl next door”, well prepare yourself because this is a much better sequel. 

Maame will walk us down the path of her love story as she revealed that: Sometimes in the middle of an ordinary mundane life, something extraordinary happens that changes your lives forever. Jeremy and I had been neighbours for over 15 years because his parent’s house was right behind my house. We grew up with the same friends and in the same neighbourhood but somehow the most we had ever said to each other was ‘hi’.

As fate would have it, I applied to his company to do my national service and sat down to chat with a friend whom I hadn’t seen in ages. Little did I know the chair I was sitting in was his chair. I felt someone spin the chair around and there he was looking down at me saying ‘hi neighbour – that was the extraordinary event that brought us together. 4 years after, he popped the question on my birthday; 13th February and of course I said yes!

Not one to be left behind on the love storytelling, Jeremy also shared his own tale when he said: When I was 10 my family moved to a new area and her family lived right opposite mine. We had the same circle of friends but for whatever reason, we never got to become friends and never had a conversation beyond “Hi” and “Hello”.

 It would take 15 years before we had our first conversation, and this happened only because she did her national service at my office and I had to give her a ride home. We realized then that we had known each other almost all our lives yet we were strangers to each other. But with every conversation that ensued afterwards, it became clearer that God meant for us to interact only at this specific time.

Our hearts grew fond of each other, we realized we shared something unique and uncommon. I kissed her for the first time on my mother’s birthday, proposed to her on her own birthday 13th February, and the girl next door is now my wife and best friend for life.
