Janelle and Jerry met in 2002, while they were both college students at North Carolina A&T State University. "We dated briefly and remained in touch over the years, but reconnected on a more serious level at our alma mater’s homecoming in 2013," said Janelle. After being together for almost two years, the two college coeds turned soul mates have decided to make their union official with a "Retro Glam" fall wedding at the Cylburn Arboretum in Baltimore, MD.

Engagement Story {From the Groom}:
Janelle wanted to travel to Europe for her 30th birthday. We visited cities in Rome and Greece, but with Santorini being one of the most talked about places she wanted to see, I figured “beautiful place, she’s beautiful, why not there?” I wanted it to be special and in a place where the memory of the occasion would last forever. We can always go back to the Exact spot to where it all happened and say “We got engaged right here in front of the Santorini sunset.”

What are you most looking forward to about your wedding?
Saying our vows and the joining of families is what’s most important. But we’ve haven’t been able to stop thinking about the food since our tasting!

Absolutely. We’re starting to see the finish line. Thankfully, we have an awesome planner that is keeping us on task.
