Story

Some say that at some point in your life you may have already met the man or woman of your dreams. Others believe you will fall in love with someone you have known your life. Here is a story of how fate can meet you just by being at the right place at the right time.

On a late August Saturday night, a lovely woman and her crew wound up at Banko Cantina to end their night. As the night was coming to an end and the drinks stopped flowing, she found herself sitting and relaxing near the exit. Little did she know how much her life would change in those final moments. Soon she was approached by three individuals. After an introduction, the men tried their best to woo her and gain her attention, however she would not be so easily coaxed. Instead she responded by asking them one question... "What's my name?"

There was a pause and shock amongst the men when she asked. She even took it up further by saying she would give her phone number to whoever remembered her name. She was sure she had stumped them. The first guy who approached her, laughed, and said he forgot. The second fellow did not have a clue. After testing the first two, she was left with one more man to ask. She looked at him with a captivating smile that he would never forget and asked... What's my name? Monte looked into her beautiful eyes and said without hesitation... "Janelle." And that was when the journey began...

Tidbits

Who made the first move? How?

Depends how you look at it really. Janelle offered her number to Monte, only if he remembered her name, WHICH HE DID!

What's your favorite activity together?

We enjoy walking Khan through the neighborhood, as well as trying out new bars and restaurants in different cities.

Who's going to take out the trash?

Janelle would love to do it, but Monte wont allow it :)

What's the best meal you have eaten together?

Has to be Chargrilled Oysters in NOLA! "Just butter and garlic bro"

We’re on the same page about

Pineapples on pizza, beer over liquor, and of course .... interracial marriage ;)

The dorkiest thing about us is

We "accidentally" became obsessed with a show hosted by Andy Cohen called Love Connection

We take pride in

Our dog Khan
