Facial Yacine, who came from Niger to study Mathematics at Sıtkı Koçman University in Muğla, met Gülbahar Aslan, who was studying Preschool Teaching at the same university, while studying in the library in 2019.
THEY DECIDED TO GET MARRIED After being friends for a while, Facial and Gülbahar decided to get married. During a ceremony held at a request house in the city, a teacher from the university asked Gülbahar for Facial from her father. Then the couple got engaged by exchanging rings.
Facial's brother and friends from Niger also attended the engagement ceremony. After the rings were exchanged, the couple danced. During the ceremony, Facial's family in Niger also had a video call.
"I AM CONSIDERING STAYING AT THE UNIVERSITY" Facial Yacine stated that his friendship with Gülbahar progressed over time, saying, "I came to Muğla from Niger to study at the university in 2014. I am normally a very hardworking child. I am always in the library. Thank God I am diligent. I was studying. The lady appeared in front of me at that time. Of course, we initially maintained a beautiful friendship. We shared wonderful things together. We were together in difficult situations and good times, but at that time, there was of course a feeling of friendship. Then we realized that our feelings were changing gradually. When a person spends too much time with another person, they get to know them."
After getting to know her, he will see. Of course, I chased after her a lot, but if I want something, I do my best to find it, and thank God it happened now. Even before it was finalized, I told my family. I said, 'I saw a girl, I really liked her.' Because I wanted them to know, to be aware before I took a step. They were very curious. I told them. They knew about us even a year before our relationship. I am in the Mathematics Department in Muğla. I am doing my doctorate, and I am considering staying at the university after my doctorate. I love Turkey very much. I met the love of my life here," he said.
"ALTHOUGH FAMILIES WERE SURPRISED AT FIRST..." Gülbahar Aslan stated that their families were surprised at first, saying, "I went to Muğla to study Preschool Teaching. That year, while I was going to the library during exam week, I met Facial. We had a very beautiful close friendship for 2-3 years. Later, it transformed this way. We constantly share some things. While sharing our jobs and responsibilities, we actually saw that we were very compatible with each other. As our feelings changed emotionally, we started spending more time together and decided to take a step towards marriage. Although families were surprised at first, they later respected it, and the process progressed this way," she said.
