Businessman Blord has spoken about his marriage, revealing that he never officially proposed to his wife and that their relationship lacks the romantic gestures many couples enjoy.
In an interview, Blord said there was never a “Will you marry me?” moment. Instead, he told his wife he wanted to marry her and asked for her father’s phone number so their families could start the marriage process.
“I didn’t propose to her. I think it was in December, I said, ‘I want to get married to you.’ I just told her, ‘Give me your father’s number. Let my father call him. Let’s get married.’ We didn’t do all the ‘Say yes, say yes,’” he said.
He also praised his wife’s family for making the marriage process straightforward, saying they were not financially demanding. “She was from Nubi, and their people are very affordable; they didn’t charge like Imo state. They were not expensive. They even contributed to the marriage,” he added.
Blord went on to describe himself and his wife as an unromantic couple. According to him, his wife used to be more affectionate, but over time, she became like him because he never reciprocated her romantic gestures.
“She was more romantic before, but due to my not reciprocating, she became like me, too. None of us is romantic,” he said.
Explaining further, Blord said they do not engage in public displays of affection, revealing that they neither hold hands nor kiss in public. He admitted that they are not any different behind closed doors.
“We cannot even hold ourselves on the road. We cannot do all those kisses.
We don’t do a public display when we haven’t even done an inside display. We don’t do all these couple of things,” he said with a laugh.
He humorously compared their relationship to that of an elderly couple, saying, “We don’t do all these young couples’ things. We are old people who have been married for more than 30 years. In fact, people who have been married for more than 30 years are even better than I am.”
