Morlyne and Stanley’s love story began on a popular dating website where “a picture and a few words” started them on the path towards happily ever after. Their online conversations set the stage for an unforgettable first date at a local soul food restaurant in New Rochelle, New York. Morlyne fondly recalls how “funny, compassionate, respectful, tall and handsome” she found Stanley to be, and that somewhere deep in her soul, she “had a good feeling about him and knew that God sent a good one.”

It wouldn’t be long until the distant sound of wedding bells could be heard in the hearts of both Morlyne and Stanley. Morlyne knew Stanley was the one after meeting his parents, “observing his interactions with his family, especially his mother” and how kind and respectful he was. And so it was, during a cool November evening, on a rooftop lounge overlooking the New York skyline, surrounded by a surprise of family and friends, that Stanely went down on one knee and asked the love of his life for her hand in marriage.

Morlyne and Stanley were joined as husband and wife in a classic church wedding followed by a gorgeous country club reception at Crest Hollow in Woodbury, New York. Morlyne was stunning in a Cinderella-inspired Randy Fenoli gown. Randy Fenoli, also the host of TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress, personally fitted Morlyne to her gown at Kleinfeld, where he was showcasing his collection the morning she arrived. Bead-embellished, floral embroidery, an illusion neckline, all within a ball gown silhouette - Morlyne stood at the altar with her husband-to-be as a fairytale vision come to life. Surrounded by their loved ones they were forever pronounced husband and wife.
