Despite my pseudonym, I am a woman. My husband proposed to me 5 days after we met. We married 17 days after meeting each other. It was a second marriage for both of us. We have been married for 39 years, have five children between us, and 5 grandchildren. Many people were horrified that we got married so soon, but here we are 39 years later, two old farts together. 🤭😁
When men decide, they DECIDE fast. It took my husband two weeks to tell me he was interested in marriage and nothing less. We've been together almost 20 years now.
Yes, I read somewhere by third date, most men already know if they want a future with a woman or not but even if they don’t see a future, they keep some woman hanging for access to Honey pot .. so, I would advise to keep the honey pot locked until marriage so that the wrong men would not mess with a woman
My husband said he would marry me after speaking to me on the phone for a few minutes. I told him he didn’t even know me. We are coming up to our 20 year wedding anniversary, and 3 children later. Oh we were also in different countries at the time ❤️
Just by hearing and talking to you over the phone, WOW! Now there's a confident man who knew exactly what he wanted without hesitation and still married growing strong. God Bless
This is such a sweet, beautiful story. God in His providence created a soul mate for you. Such a beautiful story. May God continue to bless you both and enlarge your territory.
It still happens. Depends on d kind of man and also how the lady carries herself.I have experienced this with two different men. Some men lack manners and some women act very cold or claim super independent dont need a man to pay. If the man picks on that, then he would be worried about offering to pay for anything. The whole feminist movement is very confusing for both men and women today. And if a generous man picks on that hyper-independence, he may not approach d lady at all
I don’t know why, but this made me emotional and the story of Ole sending Orchid to your mum made me cry. I am praying I meet someone as loving and kind. Thank you for sharing your story.
My Husband proposed to me on our 2nd date. We were married a week after that. We are celebrating 11 yrs this year. Love has no limits when it's real. Congratulations to you and yours😇😇💖💖
Awwww I had my husband listen to your story and he said with a wide smile "their story is similar to ours" and yes I agreed. I went to Ireland instead where he met me at the airport and softly grabbed my hand, 4th day introduced me to his family and here we are 10yrs later and he still treats me as if we met our first day. I love your story and I'm so happy for you and your family.
Yes, that's what it was like for me too. Don't know why RUclips recommended the video, but I'm sure glad I finally watched it. She tells her story beautifully. After a stressful day, she had me smiling from ear to ear.
We live in NYC (attached houses). I saw my husband in his yard sitting on his balcony. It was magnetic. He did not see me. He took my breath away. Him and I did not meet until months later (it is NYC you can go years not knowing your neighbor). We finally met when he saw me and ran out of his house to talk to me. A man who wants you will move heavens and earth and there will be no ambiguity! We just bought a house in Italy. We plan to split our time between USA and Italy. We are both from another country. We love traveling and don't think twice about moving somewhere.
Fumi this is a lovely love story. Drama free. Wholesome. No nonsense. Generous. When you said your husband brought food and drinks to the airport when he met you for the first time because he thought you might be hungry and thirsty and wanted to have you replenished.... I knew he was a good man. 😊👍🏾All the best to you, your marriage and family. 😘
I was enthralled by this presentation. Your love story and your travel advice was so informative. I wish I was 30 years younger to actually experience the travel. May God bless you, your husband and your son for many years to come❤️
I cried for a solid 30 minutes. Thank you for sharing this with us. Some of us Black American women are afraid to even think about a non American man. I’m inspired to change some major perspectives in my life.
Please do. I'm African and you’ll surprised how your own white American men want you but are also scared cos they think you don't like them. They always ask if i like white men. They want to know
This was like reading a romance novel. "Fumi would you be my wife". I got teary eyed. I lost my husband 3 years ago. I hope God blessed me with someone just as beautiful as ur husband. Blessings to you both!
Loved it! I'm American from African descent (primarily Nigerian). My spouse is American from European descent. We will have been married for 25 years this November. One of the ways I knew he was the one is that everything he did while he pursued me spoke of his recognizing my value and of his wanting to build something lasting. He observed me living a life of purpose and that's what he wanted. He said it was love at first INsight! He treated me like he had found gold then and he still does 25 years later. Your story brought back memories. Thanks!
can you share what you were doing in 'living a life of purpose?' i'm 67, divorced for 6 years and celibate for the last 7 years. Is there hope for those of us who still believe in love finding them?
Wow. @ say it loud, Equally stunning testimony. Where are these men? Why are they not mentoring men In their thousands?

That kind of insight and deep calling to deep search is from on high! A man who has the insight to know and do that is a King!
He's a lucky guy! I tell people all the time to keep their options open. You might miss out on someone very special. Fumi, you would be a great catch anywhere in the Universe. You can't buy class and beauty. You either have it or you don't.
I have been seeing this title for almost 3 weeks until today I watched it. What a beautiful blessing. I’m 51 and single waiting and trusting God’s timing 💕🙏 thanks for sharing your life story 💕🌻
If you tell this story every week, I will never get tired of it. Thank you, Desalu-Vold family, for bringing back honour, respect, truly love and family back to social media. 🌺🌺🌺
Wonderful! Same almost! We were engaged 3 weeks after we met and married three months later! We stayed married for 32 years until my live passed away of Lukiemia! It was amazing!!!!
I can definitely see how he fell in love with you in one week because I am so drawn to you in just a few minutes. You have such a magnetic personality. I'm happy for you. Enjoy life🙏🙏
😂honestly you said it all!! What a truly beautiful love story. I couldn't thank you enough dearest Funmi(I've just turned 54 this March 2024😅,....and Nigerian(Yoruba too!!)), and I can relate to you in many ways. Though widowed young, losing the utter love of my life, your story has lifted me, and put a big smile on my face😊. Keep soaring sis❤. Mwah. Xxx
OMG!!!!! This story has me crying with joy! OMG Woman! Two beautiful enlightened ppl found each other. Your story is the story I want more women to experience. I am truly happy for you. You are truly deserving of this bounty. Love you sis❤❤❤❤❤
@ZhanaZee You're so right! two beautiful enlightened people/souls came together, because they were willing and open and not fixed on society standards. I love Fumi is sharing this beautiful, amazing, extraordinary experience. Speaking of it so eloquently and in details with beautiful pictures. Thanks Fumi.❤
Amen 🙏🏾 I agree … my hearts desires for someone to love me like this … it was the little things … the dad receiving her … all the signs ..the respect of all those he knew … speaking of her to others before her arrival . I love ❤️ it all
Your story is very similar to mine. My father also travelled a lot as we were kids. My was born in Congo, studied in Russia as a diplomat. We moved to Cuba, than Germany and now in London. Traveling is amazing.
Fumi, what a true love story!!! I am so happy I stumbled onto your channel and heard your story. It's getting harder and harder to find men of that caliber. By the way, I love your laugh-- it's contagious.
The most emotional words for me was that you would want Adrian to treat his wife like his father had treated you. Beautiful ❣️ a lot of wives sadly can't say so because they are not treated well
What a beautiful love story you & your husband have. And your son is absolutely adorable! I shed several tears watching this. My husband of nearly 30 years passed away in November of 2020 at 58 years old. We had a special love story too. He always made me feel like a queen, & would do anything to make me happy. Hearing about your Ula made me think of my Donnie, & how much I miss him. I wish you both many more happy years of love. God bless.💖
My husband and I had a beautiful story too. Sadly, I lost him (2015 aged 54). He was my Don (lol) miss him every day too. Take care - I wish you all the best 💖
My husband of 23 years also named Donnie,died at 42. I was his “ only love” he said and he was the love of my life. Still miss him 25 years later. Real love is beautiful
I love this!!! Yea it doesn’t take long at all for a man to know. I got with my husband 2 months before he went to Iraq and when he returned 7 months later we got engaged. True love knows when it knows. ❤️ thanks for sharing Fumi!
I feel so good knowing other share in my story too,I met my husband during his 2 weeks visit to Ghana n his next visit 2 years later was for our wedding ,6 years ,3 kids and I feel so blessed He is so perfect 👌👌
Don't keep saying or thinking you will never experience a real man in your life. Trust me, GOD will send him your way. You just need to keep your heart open and have the utmost FAITH.
Sending you the most positive energy for joining your soul mate on this planet and experiencing true love and respect… I am looking for this ultimate experience for myself as well.
Why are you giving up on yourself. I was 37 when I got married. I changed my prayer and ask God to send me someone just like him. And he did. Don't go looking for anyone they will find you. Just start preparing yourself so when they show up you will be ready.
OMG! I randomly stumbled on your channel and I'm hooked! Boy can I relate to not wanting to stay in a place for too long. It's so boring!!! I finally moved out of Nigeria and I'm loving life in England. I always used to say my husband is not Nigerian and now I'm dating a man from Botswana! I've loved learning about his culture and look forward to learning so much more!
Listening to you my eyes were filled with tears, tears of joy.I remembered seeing your wedding pictures on Social Media. Nice to hear the story. My husband and I got married 6months after we started dating. It will be our 26th year anniversary next month❤❤❤
Thank u so much for showing how a girl should know he’s the one . How I’ve lowered my status for people just for the fact that they like me but not doing anything to keep me in their life . Thank u for showing me men like Ulla exist . Thank you fumi for showing me my worth . I was crying when u said if a man wants u in their future they will respect ur family n everything about u . Your love has really touched my heart n inspired me. Lots of blessings to u n ur family. Thank u thank u thank u ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fumi your love story with Ole brought me to tears. My late husband was Nigerian and I from Ohio. Our love story began long distance writing old fashioned letters back and forth. Love truly is color blind and in the heart.
As an African, married to a true blonde, blue-eyed Danish person, Scandinavia is amazing. Your Norwegian is amazing. Fumi, congratulations to you and your hubby.
Oh Aunty Fumi. It's such a heavenly, Godly love story! I love it! This October I will be 39 single never married. Please, pray for those of us in Fumi-nation, trusting God to get married. Oh my goodness! I glorify God. I am deeply encouraged. Deeply blessed. Thank you Fumi. Thank you very much.
Please know that God will send you who He wants you to have. In the end, race, culture and educational level should not matter, not at this urgent point in life....listen to Fumi....she loved ....not in a box of what should be, but instead she fell in love out of the box....this will yield the might be....🙏🤟❤💗give yourself and body time to know the soul of a person.....patience is the answer...and smile at someone you would never consider, be yourself and talk to the quietest person in the room....i found my love that way....Really, he turned out to be the smartest, most interesting and interested person i met in the room, yes we are together 9 years now and growing, and yes, he did ask my mother for my hand in marriage and yes I was 47 at the time....🤟🙏💗❤🧡💛💙💜🎶
what a wonderful story. As Yorubas would say "omo e'tor" meaning Ole is cultured/has manners/class. Meaning he knows what to do at the right time. For example - showing absolute regard to your family. Sending your mom orchids, sending little gifts to your mom and sis for the new born. Now that is a man with class! it is not really about the gifts - it is the intention that says - I acknowledge those who matter to you!
I am sitting at my desk at work and I’m just crying tears of joy for your story of amazing love here! Wow! I even got goosebumps Fumi! Thank you for sharing this wonderful journey to real love with us! I’m sharing this with my sons and daughters - to inspire them to want better for themselves in love. 😊
Thank you. "if a man loves you, he is going to respect your familiy as he respects you! This is so good to hear as i am coming from a failed relationship
Aww… this is a beautiful story. More reason I got to stick to my guts when it comes to dating. Never compromising anymore. I needed this video. A man that knows what he wants and act accordingly. Does he have a nephew . Lol I love stories like this.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I literally cried listening to you. I am 63 and single I'm praying for a man to come into my life that will love and respect me the same way. May God bless you Fumi, Ole, and your beautiful son! 🙏😊
No you're wrong. I'm NOT stuck on black men. I said I'm praying for a MAN no where in my comment did I say I wanted a black man only. People stop making assumptions when you really don't know the truth!!!!!!
@@Trailblazers323 Thank you graduate school. You're right I did not state anywhere in my comment about limiting myself to black men only. People stop making assumptions when you don't know the real TRUTH!!!!
OMG, Don't even know how I fell on this video but this lady is absolutely a bunch of joy. How not to love her? She vibrates happiness & this has made my day. Beautiful love story that kills all stereotypes . Big up 🥰😍🤩
Love doesn't know color or distance. It bridges every gap. I wish you and your family many many many more years of joy like this. Your message resonates with me. Thank you for giving us 40 year olds a lot of hope for love. God bless you, Auntie Fumi. Much love from Nigeria.
Your laughter is contagious, endearing, makes me smile. Your sometimes husky voice & look reminds me of Grace Jones. You have a hearty/belly laughter. God bless you, your husband and your family.
Beautiful love story, love the Nigerian and Scottish outfit. The icing on the cake for me was when you said you want Adrian to treat his future wife the same, so cute! Bless you!
Loving kindness surely does go a long way. It is your experiences of such that you Ms Fumi are sharing with us will always bring you & your family success because it is genuine. Your husband is simply a well bred man he will either do something wholely/entirely or not even try so that nothing is left out or none is offended. Why boast. Somewhere along as you did, one will come to know. Praise Jah.
These talks are getting better and better. I got really emotional Fumi. Thank you for showing me that as a soon to be 39 year old, that patience is the key!!! I have been celibate for 16 months now, as I decided to finally focus on ME first. Your videos have lately awakened so much in me! Thank you so much
I am your daughter here in the Netherlands, believing for my "Ole" too. Thank you so much for teaching me how to treasure myself as a woman and know my worth through your RUclips channel. This particular episode is eye-opening for me to know "the One". Ese, Ose, Danke Je wel.
Wonderful love story! Elegant, insightful woman. Accomplished, daring man. Together raising a young man who may do great things in the world. Fumi and Ole had supportive, loving parents. The character of the people of each generations is important to this love story.
Such a beautiful journey. This made me cry. 😭 I’m dating and in this swipe culture it’s all about ‘ cookies’ when you say no - the you are ghosted, called boring old fashioned etc 😞. Thanks for giving us over 30s hope x I’m waiting for my own Ola’. Also I love you spirit, I’m shy and reserved. I watch you everyday. I want to learn how to be open and vibrant. Fumi - Thank you so much for being a shine star 🌟
I laughed, I cried, and I’ve learned the actions of an intentional man. Thank you, Fumi! This is the top sister to sister episode to date. May the almighty continue to bless you and your family dearest Fumi!
Wow, wow, wow, Fumi...this your love story is by far the most amazing i have heard !!. I am all teary especially about the part where Ole introduced you to his dad and he had made a lunch in your honour, and him asking you to be his wife besides his family...wow. Ole has alot to teach to other men out there. Stay blessed and kisses to Adrian
I will never be surprised if he asked you for marriage after one day of meeting you 😂😂 you have incredible and beautiful personality that shows from your videos and I'm sure your personality is more beautiful in real life ❤️❤️💜💜
You are such a joy to watch!Beautiful love story! I’m in interracial marriage as well. My husband flew to where I used to work and that was the very first time we met eye to eye; face to face 😂 The next day, we flew to my country of origin to meet with my family. We got their blessings and we got married. That’s almost 20 years ago. We are now living in the 🇺🇸 with our 15 y/o daughter. ❤Destiny❤
This was such a beautiful story. My cheeks are hurting from smiling so much. Ole truly loves and respects you and I can only hope to find love like this one day. Thank you Aunty Fumi for sharing this wonderful story.
Oh you got me in tears Mrs. Fumi!!! From the beginning to end is simply divine! What I gather from this is open my mind and see the world to experience all that life has to offer. Also, as I live a beautiful life that I love on my own, I make room in my heart for an amazing man who will join me in expanding our capacity to love and enjoy life! My heart is FULL! Thank you so much Auntie Fumi!❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
I love your personality, FUMI. You are so transparent and expressive, it is just charming. Your love story with ULA is heart warming. What a coincidence that my nickname is LUMI, almost FUMI! I just found your channel and I subscribed, of course!
Your story is beautiful. It made my heart full, eyes tear, and my face smile. Your position on travel abroad should be required listening for anyone interested in travel abroad and those who are ignorant of the value of travel. Your proposal story blessed me so! Although I did not find a love so true (yet), at 64 you and Ole’s story reminds me that quality, pure, loving relationships DO exists! Every man should take notes on how to treat a woman and every woman should take note on how to be treated. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story.
I just subscribed. I have never subscribed on my first time to a vlog! You’re a wonderful woman with a wonderful story with lessons we can learn! Keep it up!
My my. Listening to your story reinforces how much living there is to be done. Not just living but living well. And being genuinely loved and respected. It touched me hearing all of the things that your husband did towards your family and your future. There did not seem to be any doubt on your part that he was yours and you were his. You touched on several important lessons. Be open minded, be willing, and be prepared to go. We can't stay in our comfort zones all the time. New experiences are needed to help us grow.
If it were possible I'd like this video a million times! It is as though I've just been let into a love story of the Royals. It's a beautiful story that reinforces that there's only one race- the human race and that God chooses only the best of things for His children. So heartwarming! I'm teary. Thank you once again for sharing. Wish you and your husband (uncle Ole) a spectacular future!
Despite my pseudonym, I am a woman. My husband proposed to me 5 days after we met. We married 17 days after meeting each other. It was a second marriage for both of us. We have been married for 39 years, have five children between us, and 5 grandchildren. Many people were horrified that we got married so soon, but here we are 39 years later, two old farts together. 🤭😁
Wow that’s amazing x
When you know, you know🙂
Awww this is soooo beautiful I'm crying ...but is all joy.
❤❤❤
Your story is everything! I hope God’s plan on my life is similar
When a man really loves you, it doesn't take 5 years to decide. You are my inspiration. I tap into your blessing
I believe this as well. It doesn't take a lifetime to know who's the "one" you want to spend your life with.
Very true.
That's my portion in Jesus name
🤔
Absolutely 💯
When men decide, they DECIDE fast. It took my husband two weeks to tell me he was interested in marriage and nothing less. We've been together almost 20 years now.
I find people that get married quick have longer marriages ?
@@purplepantha11 .
It's true my husband proposed for first day meet.
And now it's 12yrs together married. ❤
True, my husband decided after 3 months. We have been married for 26 wonderful years.
Yes, I read somewhere by third date, most men already know if they want a future with a woman or not but even if they don’t see a future, they keep some woman hanging for access to Honey pot .. so, I would advise to keep the honey pot locked until marriage so that the wrong men would not mess with a woman
Wow you are blessed I pray for such man daily
You knew you were right for each other and took a chance on marriage-not dating, not cohabiting-marriage. Congratulations 🎊🎉!
Amen!
I can't never get tired of watching fumi, who else feels like that?!
💯💯
Me too dont we love❤🥰
She soothes my spirit and cracks me up!
🙋🏾♀️! She’s my fav
100% agree!!!
My husband and I got engaged after a coffee date, 4 hours after meeting. We will be celebrating our 8 year anniversary this Wednesday ❤
Congratulations
I love it!
Congratulations. May God bless your union. ❤
I am here for it
Awesome and serendipitous!😍
My husband said he would marry me after speaking to me on the phone for a few minutes. I told him he didn’t even know me. We are coming up to our 20 year wedding anniversary, and 3 children later. Oh we were also in different countries at the time ❤️
Awesome
Lets hear your story please. Seems interesting
Am tapping into that grace in Jesus name
Just by hearing and talking to you over the phone, WOW! Now there's a confident man who knew exactly what he wanted without hesitation and still married growing strong.
God Bless
This is such a sweet, beautiful story. God in His providence created a soul mate for you. Such a beautiful story. May God continue to bless you both and enlarge your territory.
Look at this amazing woman ....old enough not to need permission but wisdom tells her to appreciate their blessing
I love the respect he had for you. He rented a hotel room for you. This is respect unheard of today
It still happens. Depends on d kind of man and also how the lady carries herself.I have experienced this with two different men. Some men lack manners and some women act very cold or claim super independent dont need a man to pay. If the man picks on that, then he would be worried about offering to pay for anything. The whole feminist movement is very confusing for both men and women today. And if a generous man picks on that hyper-independence, he may not approach d lady at all
This is what you call a truly high value man!! Treats his lady with Respect honor and kindness ❤️
@@sweetspice9120 A good man will still do it. Its about his values and not your behavior.
@@sweetspice9120 , you have put it right...we need to learn to strike a balance
Idk how I stumbled upon this video but this woman exudes elegance, poise, and beauty! New subbie
I was lost listening to you. I could just picture myself as if i was there when it all happened
Me too😆
Ikr
Great love story !!!
I don’t know why, but this made me emotional and the story of Ole sending Orchid to your mum made me cry. I am praying I meet someone as loving and kind. Thank you for sharing your story.
Me too. She waited patiently for the right man
You will sis. The key virtue to look out for in addition to being hard working is kindness.
I was emotional hearing about the orchids and message as well. Talk about an amazing human being. Fumi is such a sensational woman.
same here
Awwwww love 💕 this
What a beautiful, poised and positive woman. I love hearing her speak and her laugh is contagious ❤❤❤!
My Husband proposed to me on our 2nd date. We were married a week after that. We are celebrating 11 yrs this year. Love has no limits when it's real. Congratulations to you and yours😇😇💖💖
SO happy to read this
Wow again
CONGRATULATIONS
Wow! What a blessing🙌 💕💕💕
I also want to say this soon

awww so beautiful
Mine too 🥰
Wow where do u ladies get such husbands 🥲
Stunning I'm going to share with my boys
This was like reading chapter 1 in a novel and I can't put the book down. Such a beautiful story.💗💗💗💗
Yes, that's what it was like for me too. Don't know why RUclips recommended the video, but I'm sure glad I finally watched it. She tells her story beautifully. After a stressful day, she had me smiling from ear to ear.
Yea
Exactly!! And this is my first video of hers. Yes, I just subscribed!!
Love 💗💗 is unstoppable! 🙏🏻👍
Honestly so to me too! Funmi's just an amazing storyteller!
We live in NYC (attached houses). I saw my husband in his yard sitting on his balcony. It was magnetic. He did not see me. He took my breath away. Him and I did not meet until months later (it is NYC you can go years not knowing your neighbor). We finally met when he saw me and ran out of his house to talk to me.

❤❤❤❤YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESA,WE R MANY OVER HERE!!!!! I MUST SAY THIS IS NOT 4 EVERY1. ENJOY
Fumi this is a lovely love story. Drama free. Wholesome. No nonsense. Generous. When you said your husband brought food and drinks to the airport when he met you for the first time because he thought you might be hungry and thirsty and wanted to have you replenished.... I knew he was a good man. 😊👍🏾All the best to you, your marriage and family. 😘
Yesssss my exact thoughts 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I agree. The food and drinks was one of the first green flags and then when she said he got her a hotel, I was like yes this is it. I love to see it.
Wow, I can listen to this lady speak forever. Her voice is so soothing and her stories so interesting. Love her!
For real. I just found her and am ready to play all of her videos. She has so much personality and exudes joy and confidence. I love it.
Right lol I stumbled here … she became my instant auntie in my head … voice so soothing & her story telling so intriguing..dreamy
NAILED!!!
My husband and I just celebrated 18 years together last month. We got engaged in three months. We got married in less than a year.
I was enthralled by this presentation. Your love story and your travel advice was so informative. I wish I was 30 years younger to actually experience the travel. May God bless you, your husband and your son for many years to come❤️
I cried for a solid 30 minutes. Thank you for sharing this with us. Some of us Black American women are afraid to even think about a non American man. I’m inspired to change some major perspectives in my life.
Please do. I'm African and you’ll surprised how your own white American men want you but are also scared cos they think you don't like them. They always ask if i like white men. They want to know
This was like reading a romance novel. "Fumi would you be my wife". I got teary eyed. I lost my husband 3 years ago. I hope God blessed me with someone just as beautiful as ur husband. Blessings to you both!
So much for your loss
Warm hugs 🤗 and blessings 🙏.
Amen. Sending you hugs🤗
And the fact that he didn't tell you about his great achievements was a big sign!
Facts
Humble, he wanted her to see him and love him.
Its a 💯from me, for giving the 100th thumbs up....
Loved it! I'm American from African descent (primarily Nigerian). My spouse is American from European descent. We will have been married for 25 years this November. One of the ways I knew he was the one is that everything he did while he pursued me spoke of his recognizing my value and of his wanting to build something lasting. He observed me living a life of purpose and that's what he wanted. He said it was love at first INsight! He treated me like he had found gold then and he still does 25 years later. Your story brought back memories. Thanks!
How beautiful!
can you share what you were doing in 'living a life of purpose?' i'm 67, divorced for 6 years and celibate for the last 7 years. Is there hope for those of us who still believe in love finding them?
@@lvncsr6166 as long as you have life you have a real chance to find love
@@lvncsr6166 Yes, there is hope.
Wow. @ say it loud, Equally stunning testimony. Where are these men? Why are they not mentoring men In their thousands?
The values you said your husband was looking out for and that you recognised he was pursuing value while dating you! You cannot buy that insight in the store. That kind of insight and deep calling to deep search is from on high!
A man who has the insight to know and do that is a King!
He's a lucky guy! I tell people all the time to keep their options open. You might miss out on someone very special. Fumi, you would be a great catch anywhere in the Universe. You can't buy class and beauty. You either have it or you don't.
I cried. I will be 50 in May and still waiting on my husband ❤
Keep hope, the best is yet to come!👌
He will definitely come. So relax🎉
I have been seeing this title for almost 3 weeks until today I watched it. What a beautiful blessing. I’m 51 and single waiting and trusting God’s timing 💕🙏 thanks for sharing your life story 💕🌻

I have tears in my eyes! I must say Fumi you are a beautiful storyteller. Love it! Blessings to you and your family!
I can definitely see how he fell in love with you in one week because I am so drawn to you in just a few minutes. You have such a magnetic personality. I'm happy for you. Enjoy life🙏🙏
My gosh, do you do audiobooks? Because your voice is so enthralling and you're such an amazing storyteller! I could listen to you all day!
True
I agree !!!!
I stumbled on one of her videos yesterday and been binge watching her since. It's her beautiful voice, energy, I love love this woman 💗
I was thinking the same thing!
This episode made me cry, laugh, and cheer. I am so glad you are putting out what life can be like if we just open up our minds.
I really enjoyed this episode.😊
Thank you fumi for the encouraging words dear, this Florence from Uganda I have been encouraged by your testimone.
Such a beautiful love story ❤❤❤
😂honestly you said it all!! What a truly beautiful love story. I couldn't thank you enough dearest Funmi(I've just turned 54 this March 2024😅,....and Nigerian(Yoruba too!!)), and I can relate to you in many ways. Though widowed young, losing the utter love of my life, your story has lifted me, and put a big smile on my face😊. Keep soaring sis❤. Mwah.
Xxx
OMG!!!!! This story has me crying with joy! OMG Woman! Two beautiful enlightened ppl found each other. Your story is the story I want more women to experience. I am truly happy for you. You are truly deserving of this bounty. Love you sis❤❤❤❤❤
@ZhanaZee
You're so right! two beautiful enlightened people/souls came together, because they were willing and open and not fixed on society standards. I love Fumi is sharing this beautiful, amazing, extraordinary experience. Speaking of it so eloquently and in details with beautiful pictures. Thanks Fumi.❤
True love is a gift from God. Look after each other and respect is the most important element in a marriage. You're blessed Fumi!
Amen 🙏🏾 I agree … my hearts desires for someone to love me like this … it was the little things … the dad receiving her … all the signs ..the respect of all those he knew … speaking of her to others before her arrival . I love ❤️ it all
Amen
“ Open up your mind and the world 🌎 will open up to you.” Golden words💕
Your story is very similar to mine. My father also travelled a lot as we were kids. My was born in Congo, studied in Russia as a diplomat. We moved to Cuba, than Germany and now in London. Traveling is amazing.
Fumi, what a true love story!!! I am so happy I stumbled onto your channel and heard your story. It's getting harder and harder to find men of that caliber. By the way, I love your laugh-- it's contagious.
❤️
let the congregation say AMEN!!
I need that grace Lord
The most emotional words for me was that you would want Adrian to treat his wife like his father had treated you. Beautiful ❣️ a lot of wives sadly can't say so because they are not treated well
What a beautiful love story you & your husband have. And your son is absolutely adorable! I shed several tears watching this. My husband of nearly 30 years passed away in November of 2020 at 58 years old. We had a special love story too. He always made me feel like a queen, & would do anything to make me happy. Hearing about your Ula made me think of my Donnie, & how much I miss him. I wish you both many more happy years of love. God bless.💖
I am 57 and lost my husband of 36 years in 2020 also. Bless you.
I am sorry y’all. I pray Gods peace and comfort over you. Be blessed and take care 💜✨✨
My husband and I had a beautiful story too. Sadly, I lost him (2015 aged 54). He was my Don (lol) miss him every day too. Take care - I wish you all the best 💖
We'd been together 30+ years too 💖
My husband of 23 years also named Donnie,died at 42. I was his “ only love” he said and he was the love of my life. Still miss him 25 years later. Real love is beautiful
Fumi I never get tired of listening to you. You are one of the most authentic and honest RUclipsr I’ve ever seen. So beautiful from inside out 💗💜💚💕
I love this!!! Yea it doesn’t take long at all for a man to know. I got with my husband 2 months before he went to Iraq and when he returned 7 months later we got engaged. True love knows when it knows. ❤️ thanks for sharing Fumi!
I feel so good knowing other share in my story too,I met my husband during his 2 weeks visit to Ghana n his next visit 2 years later was for our wedding ,6 years ,3 kids and I feel so blessed
He is so perfect 👌👌
@@esthlinobiri-yeboah9664 yes sis! It’s been 13 years of marriage for us now and it’s been worth every moment
This made me realise my partner is my future husband. He treats me like he treats my family and he’s hinting so
Thank you❤🌹❤ so much for this talk it's so beautiful❤✨❤ it makes me cry😭 but it's a happy cry😭 love❤ you❤🌹❤
What a beautiful story. I love so much Fumi. Your husband is a very lovely man. I pray that the good Lord will continue to bless your union .
Hearing how Ole prepared for your arrival does it for me! No doubt you said yes, he's a keeper. You're a great couple.
Fumi, you're a natural storyteller. How do you look more beautiful in your fifty's than when you were 39? (Don't tell me it's the makeup.)
She is in a happy home; happy marriage. Her husband does not stress her. Happiness enhances beauty
@@aeiou0123 exactly
You are married to a real man, something I fear I will never get to experience. You are so blessed, and I rejoice in your happiness.
Don't keep saying or thinking you will never experience a real man in your life. Trust me, GOD will send him your way. You just need to keep your heart open and have the utmost FAITH.
Sending you the most positive energy for joining your soul mate on this planet and experiencing true love and respect… I am looking for this ultimate experience for myself as well.
Why are you giving up on yourself. I was 37 when I got married. I changed my prayer and ask God to send me someone just like him. And he did.
Don't go looking for anyone they will find you. Just start preparing yourself so when they show up you will be ready.
@@susannarolle4068 thank you for sharing this. Lots of us need to be hopeful
@@susannarolle4068 this is the truth. I am preparing myself right now. I pray everyday and night.
OMG! I randomly stumbled on your channel and I'm hooked! Boy can I relate to not wanting to stay in a place for too long. It's so boring!!! I finally moved out of Nigeria and I'm loving life in England. I always used to say my husband is not Nigerian and now I'm dating a man from Botswana! I've loved learning about his culture and look forward to learning so much more!
Lovely !
Listening to you my eyes were filled with tears, tears of joy.I remembered seeing your wedding pictures on Social Media. Nice to hear the story. My husband and I got married 6months after we started dating. It will be our 26th year anniversary next month❤❤❤
Thank u so much for showing how a girl should know he’s the one . How I’ve lowered my status for people just for the fact that they like me but not doing anything to keep me in their life . Thank u for showing me men like Ulla exist . Thank you fumi for showing me my worth . I was crying when u said if a man wants u in their future they will respect ur family n everything about u . Your love has really touched my heart n inspired me. Lots of blessings to u n ur family. Thank u thank u thank u ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You’re such a gifted and captivating story teller. And you just ooze elegance and grace! Thanks for blessing us with your videos. Peace & Love 💕
❤️
Kenisha, my sentiments exactly. Well said.
Fumi, A great story teller. 👏👏👏👏. We can listen to Fumi all day! We love you.
Fumi your love story with Ole brought me to tears. My late husband was Nigerian and I from Ohio. Our love story began long distance writing old fashioned letters back and forth. Love truly is color blind and in the heart.
💗💗💗
Sorry for your loss and I hope you are OK.
I am Nigerian , hope you visit home with your kids he would love it I promise
As an African, married to a true blonde, blue-eyed Danish person, Scandinavia is amazing. Your Norwegian is amazing. Fumi, congratulations to you and your hubby.
Bless your heart; as i listened my heart smiles. pls cherish each other.
I am African too wish to meet a white man
Ole is a fantasy to others and he’s your reality . I want to cry . He’s s blessing to you
Oh Aunty Fumi. It's such a heavenly, Godly love story! I love it! This October I will be 39 single never married. Please, pray for those of us in Fumi-nation, trusting God to get married. Oh my goodness! I glorify God. I am deeply encouraged. Deeply blessed. Thank you Fumi. Thank you very much.
Please know that God will send you who He wants you to have. In the end, race, culture and educational level should not matter, not at this urgent point in life....listen to Fumi....she loved ....not in a box of what should be, but instead she fell in love out of the box....this will yield the might be....🙏🤟❤💗give yourself and body time to know the soul of a person.....patience is the answer...and smile at someone you would never consider, be yourself and talk to the quietest person in the room....i found my love that way....Really, he turned out to be the smartest, most interesting and interested person i met in the room, yes we are together 9 years now and growing, and yes, he did ask my mother for my hand in marriage and yes I was 47 at the time....🤟🙏💗❤🧡💛💙💜🎶
I am also 39 never married but thank God my wedding is next year. Wishing you good luck too sister
@@pwilk4811 If having a spouse is your heart desire may God answer your prayers.
Gods blessings be upon you dear
@@lydia8322 Congs darling
what a wonderful story. As Yorubas would say "omo e'tor" meaning Ole is cultured/has manners/class. Meaning he knows what to do at the right time. For example - showing absolute regard to your family. Sending your mom orchids, sending little gifts to your mom and sis for the new born. Now that is a man with class! it is not really about the gifts - it is the intention that says - I acknowledge those who matter to you!
@Oyade precisely. Stated eloquently.
Oh my God you have a way with words .
Thank you. You are wise too,.hence.you recognise wisdom
Loved “ if a man loves you he will respect your family….” Preach!
I am sitting at my desk at work and I’m just crying tears of joy for your story of amazing love here! Wow! I even got goosebumps Fumi! Thank you for sharing this wonderful journey to real love with us! I’m sharing this with my sons and daughters - to inspire them to want better for themselves in love. 😊
Same here sis I just couldnt hold it !
Thank you. "if a man loves you, he is going to respect your familiy as he respects you!
This is so good to hear as i am coming from a failed relationship
Ok I'm 19 minutes into this and hearing the admiration in Fumi's voice at speaking about Ole and his father, my heart 💕
Aww… this is a beautiful story. More reason I got to stick to my guts when it comes to dating. Never compromising anymore. I needed this video. A man that knows what he wants and act accordingly. Does he have a nephew . Lol
I love stories like this.
I'm crying...from happiness for you and because this touched me so deeply. You two are the most decent people I've ever seen.🥰
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I literally cried listening to you. I am 63 and single I'm praying for a man to come into my life that will love and respect me the same way. May God bless you Fumi, Ole, and your beautiful son! 🙏😊
No you're wrong. I'm NOT stuck on black men. I said I'm praying for a MAN no where in my comment did I say I wanted a black man only. People stop making assumptions when you really don't know the truth!!!!!!
@@Trailblazers323 Thank you graduate school. You're right I did not state anywhere in my comment about limiting myself to black men only. People stop making assumptions when you don't know the real TRUTH!!!!
@@ThePhoenix3712 Read the comments correctly please.😂
67 here and still praying and believing that I will be found by the one that God has for me. Stay strong and never stop believing!
Omg, your husband showed you off! I absolutely love it! Thank you Fumi for being here for us!
Yes, he did!!! 😊
OMG, Don't even know how I fell on this video but this lady is absolutely a bunch of joy. How not to love her? She vibrates happiness & this has made my day. Beautiful love story that kills all stereotypes . Big up 🥰😍🤩
Love doesn't know color or distance. It bridges every gap. I wish you and your family many many many more years of joy like this. Your message resonates with me. Thank you for giving us 40 year olds a lot of hope for love. God bless you, Auntie Fumi. Much love from Nigeria.
That story make made my cold, shriveled, distrusting heart skip more than a few beats. I wish nothing but greatness for you.
I loved this story. I got teary eyed while she was telling it.
Your laughter is contagious, endearing, makes me smile. Your sometimes husky voice & look reminds me of Grace Jones.
You have a hearty/belly laughter. God bless you, your husband and your family.
This is 2024, I just stumbled on your page this year. I'm 42, and just learning so oooooooo much from. You are such a breath of FRESH AIR.
Beautiful love story, love the Nigerian and Scottish outfit. The icing on the cake for me was when you said you want Adrian to treat his future wife the same, so cute! Bless you!
Loving kindness surely does go a long way. It is your experiences of such that you Ms Fumi are sharing with us will always bring you & your family success because it is genuine. Your husband is simply a well bred man he will either do something wholely/entirely or not even try so that nothing is left out or none is offended. Why boast. Somewhere along as you did, one will come to know. Praise Jah.
These talks are getting better and better. I got really emotional Fumi. Thank you for showing me that as a soon to be 39 year old, that patience is the key!!! I have been celibate for 16 months now, as I decided to finally focus on ME first. Your videos have lately awakened so much in me! Thank you so much
I am your daughter here in the Netherlands, believing for my "Ole" too. Thank you so much for teaching me how to treasure myself as a woman and know my worth through your RUclips channel. This particular episode is eye-opening for me to know "the One". Ese, Ose, Danke Je wel.
Beautiful comment . I'm 58 and I feel her daughter too ! Ahahahah she 's so wise ,intelligent and positive
Yes sis absolutely 💯 same for me 🙌🏼🙏🏼
Wonderful love story! Elegant, insightful woman. Accomplished, daring man. Together raising a young man who may do great things in the world. Fumi and Ole had supportive, loving parents. The character of the people of each generations is important to this love story.
The end got me crying what a beautiful story!!! May it forever last in strong health and happiness!!!
Such a beautiful journey. This made me cry. 😭 I’m dating and in this swipe culture it’s all about ‘ cookies’ when you say no - the you are ghosted, called boring old fashioned etc 😞.
Thanks for giving us over 30s hope x I’m waiting for my own Ola’.
Also I love you spirit, I’m shy and reserved. I watch you everyday. I want to learn how to be open and vibrant.
Fumi - Thank you so much for being a shine star 🌟
I laughed, I cried, and I’ve learned the actions of an intentional man. Thank you, Fumi! This is the top sister to sister episode to date. May the almighty continue to bless you and your family dearest Fumi!
Wow, wow, wow, Fumi...this your love story is by far the most amazing i have heard !!. I am all teary especially about the part where Ole introduced you to his dad and he had made a lunch in your honour, and him asking you to be his wife besides his family...wow. Ole has alot to teach to other men out there. Stay blessed and kisses to Adrian
I cannot take my eyes off you. You look so radiant and so poised. It is breathtaking to see a celebrity so down to earth.
🙏
I will never be surprised if he asked you for marriage after one day of meeting you 😂😂 you have incredible and beautiful personality that shows from your videos and I'm sure your personality is more beautiful in real life ❤️❤️💜💜
You are such a joy to watch!Beautiful love story! I’m in interracial marriage as well. My husband flew to where I used to work and that was the very first time we met eye to eye; face to face 😂
The next day, we flew to my country of origin to meet with my family. We got their blessings and we got married. That’s almost 20 years ago. We are now living in the 🇺🇸 with our 15 y/o daughter. ❤Destiny❤
This was such a beautiful story. My cheeks are hurting from smiling so much. Ole truly loves and respects you and I can only hope to find love like this one day. Thank you Aunty Fumi for sharing this wonderful story.
Amen we will 🙏🏾
Oh you got me in tears Mrs. Fumi!!! From the beginning to end is simply divine! What I gather from this is open my mind and see the world to experience all that life has to offer. Also, as I live a beautiful life that I love on my own, I make room in my heart for an amazing man who will join me in expanding our capacity to love and enjoy life! My heart is FULL! Thank you so much Auntie Fumi!❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
This is literally the kind of stories I needed to hear right now. God bless you Fumi for sharing your wonderful journey with us.
I am with him 14 years, no ring,3 kids, anxiety, depression, l pray for love🎉❤
I love your personality, FUMI. You are so transparent and expressive, it is just charming. Your love story with ULA is heart warming. What a coincidence that my nickname is LUMI, almost FUMI! I just found your channel and I subscribed, of course!
Your story is beautiful. It made my heart full, eyes tear, and my face smile. Your position on travel abroad should be required listening for anyone interested in travel abroad and those who are ignorant of the value of travel. Your proposal story blessed me so! Although I did not find a love so true (yet), at 64 you and Ole’s story reminds me that quality, pure, loving relationships DO exists! Every man should take notes on how to treat a woman and every woman should take note on how to be treated. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story.
Thank you. I could not have put it better myself
I love listening to Fumi so much. She's makes me feel like someone you can trust and be best friend with. Thank you, love from Haiti.
I just subscribed. I have never subscribed on my first time to a vlog! You’re a wonderful woman with a wonderful story with lessons we can learn! Keep it up!
Me too
I agree.
Hugs Fumi from Ug
Congratulations!!! This is such a beautiful video and a testament to not settling for just anyone when you can have a man that loves you like this.
Oh my... Fumi I could just sit and listen to you for hours and hours and hours.
My my. Listening to your story reinforces how much living there is to be done. Not just living but living well. And being genuinely loved and respected. It touched me hearing all of the things that your husband did towards your family and your future. There did not seem to be any doubt on your part that he was yours and you were his. You touched on several important lessons. Be open minded, be willing, and be prepared to go. We can't stay in our comfort zones all the time. New experiences are needed to help us grow.
I’m grinning from ear to ear. This is so beautiful. You’ve lived such a beautiful life, it’s dm inspiration! ❤️
I was married within 3 months and going on year 2 of marriage. God is good. 💖
Absolutely beautiful...like a fairy tale. What more can we ask for than someone to love and respect us and our family? I enjoyed your story so much!
This story was so sweet I cried. It was like a real life fairy tale. I wish you all the best for the future Aunty Fumi.
Wow...I'm waiting
If it were possible I'd like this video a million times! It is as though I've just been let into a love story of the Royals. It's a beautiful story that reinforces that there's only one race- the human race and that God chooses only the best of things for His children. So heartwarming! I'm teary. Thank you once again for sharing. Wish you and your husband (uncle Ole) a spectacular future!
I bet jaws drop whenever someone asks you your nationality and you say Russian :). Your story is beyond amazing.
It's true. U know a "keeper" when u meet one.
