It all started sometime in January 2020 at a McDonald’s drive-thru window. Alanna was working when she spotted a boy walking past in a full red outfit with a curly perm hairstyle — and immediately thought he was pretty cute. Curious, she mentioned him to her coworker, Sadaf, who casually said, “Oh, that’s Dontay. I go to school with him.” Sadaf also mentioned that Dontay had asked her out a few times, so Alanna figured maybe she could help set them up instead. She got his Instagram, noticed he was passionate about music and rapping, and sent him a message encouraging him to keep chasing his dreams and never give up. Dontay quickly asked for her Snapchat… but there was one problem: he was still 17, so she politely said no. Fast forward past February 26th — Dontay turned 18 and tried again. This time, after seeing him a few more times at McDonald’s and realizing he was just as sweet as he was handsome, Alanna finally said yes. What started as a simple message turned into endless conversations, late-night laughs, a few rough patches that only made them stronger, and eventually moving in together in 2021. Since then, they’ve been inseparable — building a life full of love, loyalty, chaos, dreams, and unforgettable memories together. And now, after all these years, their story continues with their greatest adventure yet… forever. 💍🍂
