Stephanie Coker, who is set to tie the knot this summer, reveals more about
her beau, wedding plans, ‘The Future Is Her’ and more in SCHICK
Magazine’s debut issue.
Read excerpts below.
On her Beau: He’s a property developer and we dated for
three
years before getting engaged. He saw me sitting alone while waiting to
meet with someone who never showed up, so he sent a waitress over to ask
if I wanted anything to
eat. I declined because I was there to
work
and I just wanted to have my meeting. The waitress cheekily suggested I
should accept his offer, so I ended up getting takeaway and giving him
my business
card. He gave me a call and the rest is history (by the way, when he tells this story, he says I was staring at him – I wasn’t!).
On her Wedding Style: I’m a tomboy by nature but I
don’t think that style will feature in my wedding because I won’t be
able to wear my sneakers! It’s the only day you get to be a princess;
the only time you will have that excuse, so I’m going to enjoy it. I
like embellishment, but for my wedding, I want something clean and
easy-on-the-eye that stills makes a statement; a dress that is classy
and elegant.
On The Future Is Her : I started ‘The Future Is Her’ towards the end of
2016. The idea behind it, is to use my platform to help talented, young women in
Nigeria go up the
career ladder. Fame is great,
money is great, but there is no point to it all, if you’re not making an impact in people’s lives.
