From Frenemies to Lovers! Vanessa & Emmanuel are Getting Their Happily Ever After

The frenemies-to-lovers journey is one of the most satisfying plot twists. That thin line between love and dislike can get completely blurred and lead to something amazing.

For Vanessa and Emmanuel, what began as playful banter and arguments bloomed into a beautiful love story. They were classmates in school studying the same course. While Emmanuel was confident and daring in his dealings, Vanessa was not really a fan of his guts. They would engage in spirited debates, teasing each other and exchanging glances during class. Soon, the thin line began to fade, and they became friends. That friendship grew deeper and became the starting point of their love chapter. Now these lovebirds are saying yes to forever, and it’s with great pleasure that we get to share their stunning pre-wedding photos. Filled with refreshing love and sophistication, each frame radiates their lovely chemistry, leaving us utterly mesmerised.

Enjoy their pre-wedding photos and love story below:

How we met
By the bride, Vanessa:

It all started in 2018… Two ambitious students, both chasing big dreams, walked into the University of Dundee — never knowing destiny had other plans. We were classmates, studying International Oil and Gas Management. Then one day, during a recruiters’ forum, Emmanuel walked up to the recruiter with all the confidence in the world… and I remember thinking, “Who the hell is this guy?” That was the moment everything changed. From playful arguments and side-eyes in class… to shared laughter, late-night study sessions, and a friendship that refused to fade — we went from frenemies… to best friends… to soulmates. Over the years, we’ve grown, loved, and built a bond stronger than we ever imagined. And in October 2025 — on the 17th and 18th — we sealed our forever. From Dundee to destiny, from “who the hell is this?” to “this is the one.” This is our love story —Vanessa and Emmanuel — a story written by grace, laughter, and love.
