MEET THE MELLOS
How We Got Started
If you're hoping for a 'happily ever after' where the best man marries the maid of honor, you're in luckāthat's exactly how our story unfolded! It all began over 27 years ago at a destination wedding in the breathtaking Bahamas. We were brought together to celebrate our best friends' union, yet, despite having mutual connections, we were strangers. Fate stepped in during the four hours between the ceremony and the reception, and what started as casual conversation turned into four unforgettable days that laid the foundation for a lifetime of love.

RELATIONSHIP COACH
The day I met Aisha marked the start of my lifelong dream to find a partner to share my life with. My preconceived notions of love were transformed by the connection I felt with her, changing me forever. I was certain she was the one. I would do anything to feel that way every day. With clarity, I decided to move to New York to be with her, and a year later, our story truly began. We were young, intoxicated with love, yet we had much to learn about relationships, which we did together. Being only children, we understood each other in unique ways. She made me whole and inspired me to be a better man, friend, and husband. Our friends often sought our advice on their relationships, noting how effortless we made it appear. Aisha and I discovered we had a giftāa method of clear communication that was indeed effortless. The habits we had formed, both consciously and subconsciously, were effective. These habits have sustained our marriage for over twenty years and through three children. Together, we've learned that even amidst life's challenges, love doesn't have to be difficult.
AISHA'S JOURNEY
RELATIONSHIP COACH
Meeting someone new was the last thing on my mind. Which is actually funny because I was notorious for constantly looking for signs of āHeās the One!ā on a regular basis. I have to admitā¦. was kind of fun and exciting at times. Especially being a working actress in New York City living my not quite āSex in the Cityā lifestyle. Of course I was late for the weddingā¦.. only because I was ādatingā a guy who gave me a buddy pass and there were so many stipulations I was unaware of. Well that sure made me feel guiltyā¦ā¦(which part).Anyway being the ā Maid of Honorā this presented a huge problemā¦..So after crying the entire two flights and changing in the tiny airport bathroom stall, I finally arrived an hour and a half late to my oldest friendās wedding at Sandalās Resort in the beautiful island of the Bahamas. It was the last minutes of the wedding toasts. Iād missed everything! Or did I? Actually there was a wedding dinner in 4 hours and Iād no plans or reservations of any kindā¦. anywhere. My busy audition schedule in NYC left me feeling anxious and I had planned to crash on someoneās couch and leave the next morning. So the bride said āYou should hang out with Jookie until the dinner.ā and I said āJookie, the band?ā Her look of confusion still makes me smile to this day. I mean when your name is Jamel Mello, why would you be nicknamed āJookieā? In truth, every time she said āthe groom was going to see Jookieā I thought it was a reggae band that happened to be performing in the Bahamas at that time. Letās just sayā¦I was mighty and oh so pleasantly surprised when this man named Jamel Mello walked into my lifeā¦.I must say I didnāt really breathe him in until we were alone waiting for the taxi to take us back to his hotel for a few hoursā¦..
