A Nigerian Birmingham City University (BCU) student, Anu Yusuf, who recently received her Law LLB in a ceremony at Symphony Hall, on the same day dressed all in white, as she tied the knot at Birmingham Register Office.
Read how it all happened:
Anu, 26 and Joseph Kolawole Ola, aged 27 met four years ago in Gombe while working as part of Nigeria’s National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), and their subsequent engagement was prolonged as a result of her coming to study at Birmingham City University.

She said: ”My husband often joked that he would whisk me away after my graduation to marry me because he can no longer wait. So, we decided to marry on my actual graduation day!
”Romance aside, it certainly worked well logistically too, as it meant that our relatives only had to travel once for both occasions. We both have family all over the UK and we were conscious of taking up too much of their time and for all the added expense of making the same journey twice,” she added.
