The couple, who have been married for 20 years and counting, suggested that they were divinely made for each other due to the circumstances under which they met.
Apostle Eric Okai, who is the head pastor of the Elim Church and a relationship expert, said he met Doreen at Sakumono and was immediately smitten by her sheer beauty and personality.
The man of God said he knew then and there that she was the one for him and therefore decided to pursue her.
"If you see somebody you love, you will know that this person, you love her, and so I followed up and God has been gracious to us," he said.

Mrs Doreen Okai, for her part, said she attended the same church as her husband's mother.
However, the conversation about marrying Mr Okai started after she had an opportunity to share a word of God with the congregation.
She said after delivering the message, Mr Okai's mother, who was then her godmother in the church, spoke to her son about her.
Mrs Doreen said she later met Mr Okai at Sakumono during a visit to her sister's house, an encounter that marked the beginning of their friendship, which ultimately culminated in marriage years later.
"I was walking by the streets and I met him. He was like, Doreen, is this where you live? I said yes and he asked what I came here to do then I said I came to see my sister. Then the friendship started," she said.
