Courtney and Melodee met at Machete Tequila & Tacos in Denver, CO, while Melodee was there visiting friends. They shared similar meals and very different drinks. Once Melodee was back home she finally worked up the courage to reach out, and they’ve been inseparable ever since. Melodee and Courtney dated long-distance for almost two years, going back and forth between Colorado and North Carolina and meeting up in random cities as much as possible. In July 2023, Courtney and Melodee hopped in a Penske truck and traveled across the country to move into their first home together in Charlotte, NC. A blended and growing family of seven, Melodee, Courtnee, Koree, Ellie, Rahlee, Charlee, and Gillee are #hapeetobeharris together. In August 2024, in front of many of our community, Melodee threw a karaoke shindig and sang Always & Forever (the original, by Heatwave, although Courtney will always credit Luther Vandross). Over Casamigos, chilled, and chicken wings, Melodee asked Courtney to be her wife. Returning the honor, on our last night in London, in front of the Tower Bridge, Courtney asked Melodee to do life with her always & forever, but this time crediting Nathan & Haley Scott IYKYK. In honor of Melodee’s father, the late Michael Harris Sr., please join us this Thanksgiving weekend, Sunday, November 30th, as we become Mrs. and Mrs. Bookie & Pookie Harris.
