We're getting married!

In January 2024, fate gave Janelle and Dontay a digital nudge when they matched on Bumble. After years of searching for the right person, they both took a leap of faith and swiped right—two hearts ready to find something real. From their very first conversation, the connection was instant. They talked for hours each day, effortlessly filling every moment with laughter, curiosity, and deep conversation. There was never a dull moment—and never a shortage of things to say. By February 2024, they decided to make their relationship official, and a whirlwind romance took flight. The next eight months were filled with unforgettable memories: late-night horror movies, cozy dinners, exciting concerts, and adventures that brought them closer with every shared experience. Their first big trip together? A nine-hour road trip to Kentucky to explore bourbon country—one of Dontay’s greatest passions. That journey set the tone for their travels ahead, including a dreamy getaway to the turquoise waters of St. Martin and Anguilla to celebrate Janelle’s 34th birthday. Along the way, they crisscrossed the country—New Jersey, North Carolina, Georgia, Missouri—introducing each other to the people who mattered most. Then came October 27, 2024. In Florida, during a special dinner at Wolfgang Puck in Disney Springs, Dontay summoned his courage. Surrounded by the buzz of a packed restaurant, he asked Janelle to be his forever—and without hesitation, she said yes. Since that moment, their love has only grown stronger. They’ve been inseparable—dreaming, planning, and building a life that reflects the joy, trust, and adventure that brought them together. On October 31, 2025, they’ll begin the next chapter of their journey—and they can’t wait to celebrate their forever with the people they love most.
