Popular Akorino Instagram model Carey Priscilla is officially engaged to her longtime boyfriend, Benito, after a unique and deeply symbolic proposal.
The mother of three, known for her unwavering commitment to her faith, was blindfolded during the emotional moment that unfolded in a picturesque setting.
As the blindfold was removed, Carey was surprised to find Benito down on one knee—not holding a traditional ring, but a gashuka, a culturally significant garment in their religion that symbolizes a married woman. The setting was complete with a glowing “Will You Marry Me” sign, adding to the magic of the moment.
In a heartfelt message posted on her Instagram, Carey expressed her joy and appreciation for Benito’s understanding and respect for her religious values. She wrote, “The fact that he didn’t go for a ring because he knows I don’t wear one as a Mukurino speaks volumes. Not only that, but he went ahead and proposed with a gashuka, something so meaningful and special in our religion. It’s a symbol of a married woman, and honestly, it means more than I could ever explain.”
