Swiping Right into Forever

Who would have thought that a terrible dating app like Black Gentry could lead to the formation of a beautiful family? We started chatting in June 2023, bonding over our shared love of old-school R&B, our crazy jobs, and our families. Jide, ever the patient one, took his sweet time asking us out. It wasn't until July 28th, 2023, that we finally met face-to-face. And let’s just say, it was pretty darn close to love at first sight. Since then, we've been inseparable, chatting every day (yes, every day!) and spending quality time together every week. Fast forward to September 2024, Jide had a secret plan: a shiny new ring. But he kept it a secret for months! Finally, on November 21st, 2024, he popped the question. We've already embarked on amazing adventures together, from the historical wonders of Turkey and Egypt to the bustling streets of America. And now, we’re excited to start our next chapter as a family, with Leon by our side. We can't wait to celebrate our love with all our friends and family at our wedding, where we hope everyone will dance, sing, and be joyful.
