Always Reply to Your DMs— Woman Says as She Marries Man Who First Texted Her on Instagram

A woman, Deborah Ned, has shared an inspiring love story while advising single ladies to never ignore their direct messages.

Taking to Facebook, Deborah revealed she tied the knot with her husband, Emmanuel, on August 12, 2025 — six years after he first reached out to her via DM in 2019.

According to her, Emmanuel’s opening message was simple and polite: he asked for her phone number and invited her to lunch. She responded positively, giving him her number, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Deborah posted screenshots of their first conversation alongside beautiful photos from their wedding, using her story to remind women that true love can start with just one message.

“The dm I responded to. Five years after. Try dey answer your dm,” Deborah captioned the post.
