Our bond thrives on trust, laughter, teamwork, and being ourselves—every moment together makes our love stronger and more meaningful
We would like to thank you for supporting Maek & Jannelle in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
We met at an airport gate in St. Louis. We were both heading home from separate business trips and struck up a conversation over a People magazine while waiting for our flights. A month later, he called me.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Honestly, I don’t think we could choose just one. We’ve shared 23 years of memories—big milestones, hard seasons, laughter, adventures, and countless ordinary moments that became extraordinary because we were together. If I had to pick a favorite, it would simply be doing life with together. Every chapter has been my favorite for a different reason
What would you do with $20,000?We’d buy ourselves something that’s hard to put a price on—time. We’d step away from work for a little while, spend more time together, visit our kids and family more often, and make memories with the people we love. Work takes so much from all of us, and a $20,000 cushion would give us the chance to breathe, enjoy life a little more, and not worry so much about the ‘how’ for a while. At this stage of our lives, experiences and time with family mean far more to us than things.
