As told by The Groom Djuane Newton:

Introduced to each other by my long time friend and God-sister Rashawn; I met Lovely at her high school basketball game....where she shoulder checked a referee. I was attracted, and that blossomed into a year long relationship that like most young loves, didn't last.

We remained good friends and checked in on each other periodically throughout the years....her more so than me, but in 2018 an opportunity arose for us to try dating again, so we took it! We (mainly me) were NOT ready as ready for that step as we thought!

There was a lot of peaks and valleys that came in adjusting ourselves to what it was we both truly wanted; which was a strong, loving, give & take, reciprocal relationship of trust, communication, compromise, sacrifice, and support.

It took time for us to get there, but we made the changes necessary for us to learn and grow with one another and those are this things I believe we've made the pillars of our relationship, to build our marriage upon.

I asked for her hand in marriage on December 25th, 2022; which is why you're here now!! WELCOME!!
