How Beautiful!
Farran
I look forward to meeting you! You have to be a special person to be blessed with someone such as Olu. The Burrell brothers..my brothers..have been trained to be God chasers, husbands that prepare and foresee, as well as loving fathers. In the world today, that is rare. You are indeed truly blessed! I know there is a level of anointing and unique quality in you that makes you perfect for Olu.

Congratulations! The video was great. You already know your wedding gift is coming from Target. lol.

To my dearest Farran and Olu, it has taken me almost a week to come down from the mountain top!! I can’t begin to pin the joy that your Dad and I feel! As I write, tears of joy continue to flow. First and foremost, I thank God that He with His Divine Providence, allowed your paths to re-connect at a time in your lives that you could genuinely appreciate the authentic qualities that you both possess! Secondly, Farran, throughout your life, your Dad and I have always kept before you the importance of living a Christ-centered life. In other words, you must be a Virtuous Woman…a real Lady…to attract a REAL MAN!!! I am grateful that you took our teachings to heart. Olu is a sincere, God fearing man…one who possesses all of the qualities of a good husband. Your Dad and I pray God’s continued favor and blessings upon your lives…forever!!! We love you Farran and Olu!
July 1st, 2008 at 2:59 am
Farran, God has blessed me to see you grow into a beautiful Christian adult. I’m glad He introduced Olu to our family. God brings certain people into our lives for a reason. Sometimes it’s to encourage us, or to offer us wisdom and insight. Sometimes it’s just to remind us that we’re never alone. Whatever reason God had in bringing you and Olu together, I’m glad He DID!!! The engagement pictures are lovely and impressive. I could not restrain the tears of joy. May God continue to bless both of you.
July 1st, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Farran, God has truly blessed you. I remember the first time I met you as a young girl walking the run-way working with your mother as we were getting ready for a Fashion Show. I knew than that you would grow into a beautiful intelligent young woman. As I watched your video I could see and feel the Love that you and Olu have for each other.
May God Bless and keep you both. Congrats!!!
Let me know when the date is.
God Bless.
July 1st, 2008 at 3:52 pm
This is such a touching montage. Because I know how beautiful a person you are Olu, though I have not met Farran, I can only imagine she’s an extraordinary lady.
At my desk all teary eyed. Congratulations!!!
And to the photographer, you did an awesomely wonderful job of making us all feel we were there.
July 1st, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Congratulations Farran & Olu! Olu is obviously a man after my own heart. Wow! What a very special moment. Love can be defined as a moment that last forever. You know you are in love when you see the world in her eyes, and her eyes everywhere in the world. Proverbs 18 says; Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord. Therefore, may the favour of God rest, rule and abide in your marriage for a lifetime, that is our prayer.
July 1st, 2008 at 6:13 pm
What!!! Was that a tear that just fell from my left eye? Olu..Wonderful. I was trying to read the letter when it flashed up so I could duplicate it someday. I’m still haunted by the day you beat me our Freshman year - but this proves again, that you set the standard for kingship. Enjoy your queen…Congratulations!
July 14th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
Greetings my beloved Sister Farran,
I am in awe with what the Lord has done,and is doing.I can not begin to tell you how grateful I am for your season of waiting.It’s in the pause and waiting season that the Lord truly test our faith. As I sit here at work I’m thinking about so may wonderful moments of watching you grow into this awesome women of God. Such as the day you minister for Women’s Day and you share with us about not just “trying God” but “trusting God”. I believe you set an everlasting atmosphere in the lives of many young women the ministry. God has placed a great king and queen together to bring back the very essence of Holy Marriage.In all they you both do…. please remember this is all for HIS name sake, that He be glorified. Enjoy this gift!!!!!!!!!
December 11th, 2008 at 11:47 pm
Congratulations to you both! What a beautiful presentation and something you can look at as time goes on to put you in the place of love, of joy and youthful angst of those moments.
Peace.
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Your love is like a fairy tale. I wish you two all the success in this world, but with a love as deep as yours I’m sure you’ll be fine…just hold fast and remain as one flesh forsaking all others.
September 15th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
Hello Farran and Olu
I don’t even know you, but God has a way of letting us know that he is still in the BLESSING business, and it was through your mother that your special occassion has been shared with me. I needed to see that, I needed to feel those precious moments that you shared. Through this I how God has brought two loving hearts together. May God continue to be bless your unity, and use it as ministry for his purpose.
