I’ve Gotta A Feeling

Janeen tells us she had a hunch the Chris was ‘The One’ she was meant to be with very early on in their relationship. They’d been dating for two and a half years when he popped the question in New York City.

Family Ties

“We both have a great relationship with each other’s parents,” admits Janeen. A huge plus — just ask any woman who can’t get along wit her mother-in-law.

Cheers to Us

Chris couldn’t be happier with the woman he has chosen to spend the rest of his life with. “I think he chose to marry me because I’m amazing,” says Janeen, who feels like she’s on top of the world when her man’s around. “He says I’m everything he could ever want and more.”
