Identified on TikTok as @asake.orente, the lady stated that she once had to cancel her wedding plans to further her education.
She said:
“In your 20s, you will cancel your wedding for your Master’s degree in UK. It was one of the toughest decision I’ve ever made and it came with lots of backlash but it is important you listen to your instincts.
Now at 30! Both married and with a master’s degree.”
She added in the caption:
“In 2022 just 3 months to my wedding, I started an internship and i was treated so badly on my first day at work, during my lunch break, I called my then Fiancé and asked him if we could cancel our wedding.
“At first he was scared maybe i was no longer interested in him then i explained Instead of Spending that money on wedding can i use it for my masters in the Uk.
“He said yes. Convincing my parents, though? That's a story for another day. Three years later: see who not only had her dream wedding but also earned her MSc certificate!”
