Ten years into marriage, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu has proven that romance does not fade with time, it evolves. To mark a decade with his wife Cynthia, the media personality staged a quietly cinematic re-proposal in St. Peter’s Square, Vatican City, turning an anniversary celebration into a moment that felt both spontaneous and timeless.

Shared through a carousel of travel snapshots from Rome and Vatican City, the highlight arrives unexpectedly: Ebuka, dressed in a crisp white traditional ensemble and sunglasses, drops to one knee against the sweeping architectural grandeur of St. Peter’s Basilica. Cynthia, wrapped in a grey patterned coat and holding a compact black Dior bag, pauses in visible surprise before breaking into laughter and saying “yes” once again, a reaction that gives the moment its emotional center.

The choice of location was not accidental. The historic square, with its cobblestone floors and sweeping colonnades, provided a dramatic yet reverent backdrop, allowing the gesture to feel public without theatricality. According to Ebuka, the couple had just attended mass at the basilica before the surprise, adding a layer of personal meaning that elevated the proposal beyond spectacle.

Their anniversary, celebrated on February 6, unfolded as a full-day experience: time spent between Rome and Vatican City, a special mass at St. Peter’s Basilica, and even a 10th-anniversary certificate presented by the Pope, before the couple headed to dinner at one of their favourite spots. The re-proposal, then, was not simply about new rings but about marking the milestone with intentional symbolism, faith, travel, memory, and renewal.

Closing his post with a playful “Now, it’s vacation time. Where to next?”, Ebuka reminded followers that romance is not always about grand beginnings but about choosing each other again, year after year — sometimes in the middle of the world’s most iconic square.
