When we’re about to clock ten years in marriage, we might all need to take a page from Ebuka Obi–Uchendu’s playbook. Fancy a new set of rings to mark a decade together? Ebuka just showed us one very thoughtful way to do it.
The media personality and popular Big Brother Naija host shared a carousel from Rome and Vatican City, and tucked inside it was a moment that stopped us mid-scroll. In the video, Ebuka drops to one knee in St. Peter’s Square, dressed in a clean white traditional outfit and sunglasses, ring box in hand. Cynthia, wrapped in a grey patterned coat and holding a small black Dior bag, clearly isn’t expecting what comes next. Her reaction says it all — hands to her chest, a pause, then laughter as she takes in the moment and says yes all over again.
The setting does a lot of the talking. Cobblestone floors, the sweeping colonnades of St. Peter’s Basilica behind them, and curious onlookers who slow down, smile and cheer as the proposal unfolds. It’s public without feeling staged, intimate without being overdone. According to Ebuka, they had just attended mass at the basilica before the surprise, making the moment feel even more personal.
In his caption, he shared that the couple marked their exact wedding anniversary on February 6, spending the day between Rome and Vatican City. Alongside the re-proposal, they attended mass at St. Peter’s Basilica and received a 10th anniversary certificate from the Pope before heading off for dinner at their favourite spot.
With the celebrations wrapped up, Ebuka ended the post on a playful note: “Now, it’s vacation time. Where to next?”We’re guessing the couple are already on their way to a new city or country, ready to swap cobblestones for holiday mode and keep the anniversary glow going.
