Daniel & Gifty

Once upon a time, in January 2013, a magical tale unfolded at the Center for Scientific Research into Plant Medicine in Mampong Akuapem. This is the story of Daniel Amoako Addo and the wonderful Gifty Afriyie.

As fate would have it, we both found ourselves working there as Service personnel, immersed in the world of plants and science. Little did I know that this chance encounter would be the beginning of a love story that would shape our lives forever.

Gifty, serving as the Bio-statistician, and myself, navigating the procurement department, worked side by side. Amid the scientific hustle, something special blossomed. I’d often peep out of my office to chat with her during lunch breaks, and our conversations went beyond work. Gifty’s smile became the highlight of my day.

Gradually, we evolved from being work buddies to something more profound. Our connection deepened, akin to the roots of a growing plant. We started sharing our dreams, realizing that our paths were converging.

Through stolen glances and lunch breaks, our friendship transformed into a love story. Challenges came our way, but facing them together only strengthened our bond. Our journey unfolded, one chapter at a time.

On a magical night, I took a leap and asked the question that changed everything. Gifty’s joyful “yes” resonated like cheers from the universe, marking the official beginning of our shared journey.

Transitioning from friends to committed partners, our wedding day fell on Gifty’s birthday. Filled with laughter, tears of joy, and promises for the future, it was a celebration of our love.

As we now navigate life hand in hand, our love story stands as a testament to the beauty that emerges from unexpected places. Starting as workmates, we’ve crafted a life of love, shared dreams, and unwavering commitment. Ours is a story that proves love can indeed grow in the most unexpected corners of our lives.
