Summer 2016 they met on Portage Lake through mutual best friend, Nic Mily & his wife Janelle. This was the summer JaLyn moved back home from Florida for a huge job promotion. When Dante originally asked her out, she declined, staying focused on her career. About a year or so passed where they'd run into each other out and about, but come the time for Nic & Janelle's wedding, they started seeing each other more and more often, and JaLyn took interest in Dante, only for Dante to give her a taste of her own medicine, and declined going out on a date with her. The stage was set, the game was on, JaLyn wasn't going to take no for an answer! One morning, Nic & Janelle invited them both to brunch, not knowing the other would be there. (Ahh the looks on their faces was priceless!) After that brunch, Dante invited JaLyn over to hang out, and finally began to get to know one another better! About a month later, JaLyn brought her dog, Ava, over and from that moment on, Dante's fate was sealed, he found his girls and they never looked back! (except to laugh at both turning each other down at one point)
