Marital Arts
A three-part blowout
In 2012, Henry and Dorcas both moved from Nigeria to Mississauga for boarding school. They had mutual friends, but it was only after graduation that they started spending one-on-one time together. On a group trip to Ottawa the following year, Henry asked Dorcas to be his girlfriend. The couple dated throughout university-he was in Brantford, she in Mississauga. In 2018, a year after completing their degrees, they moved into a condo in Mississauga.
In the spring of 2021, Henry proposed to Dorcas at a friend's cottage in the Kawarthas. They had a three-part wedding: a civil ceremony at Brampton City Hall, a traditional ceremony in Nigeria and a celebration in Mexico, where Dorcas wore a white gown. Most of the wedding guests stayed in the same Playa del Carmen resort-the Fives—for a week of festivities. "We'd gotten married twice already, but it felt different because we were with our closest friends and family," says Henry.
