Our love story began in the oh-so-small town of Murphysboro Illinois. Derrell and Ilisha connected on a dating app in February of 2019. The first night that they matched they messaged each other via the app, and then eventually exchanged phone numbers. That same night they talked for hours on the phone and planned their first date. They started hanging out regularly and discovered a mutual love for music. Most of their nights were spent vibing to music and acting like total goofballs! Ilisha soon established a strong bond with Derrell’s two children Lily and Isaiah. Over time they started to do fun activities as a family and continued to grow an undeniable connection with each other. While vacationing at the Wisconsin Dells, Derrell popped the question and Ilisha said yes! They can’t wait for this exciting new chapter to begin and to share it with their loved ones!
