James and Arlesia's Wedding Celebration
“New Beginnings, New Love, New Life”
“New Beginnings, New Love, New Life”
We met at Ray's Donut Shop and instantly hit it off. After a few dates, we both knew we had found something special. Now, we're ready to tie the knot!

James & Arlesia’s New Beginning
Love has a funny way of finding us when we least expect it. For James, a proud Navy veteran from Long Island, New York, and Arlesia, a creative soul and business professional from Newark, New Jersey, it all began with a smile over coffee and donuts in a cozy Atlanta shop.
What started as a sweet conversation turned into a lifelong connection. Today, James and Arlesia are thrilled to invite you to share in their
New Beginning, New Love, and New Life as they celebrate their wedding day in
their new home and next chapter together in Indianapolis surrounded by love, faith, and gratitude for the journey that brought them together.
We are thrilled to have you join us on this special day as we celebrate the union of two amazing individuals with similar past. Our website provides all the information you need to know about the wedding ceremony, reception, hotel, and other activities. We hope you have a great time and make lasting memories with us. Thank you for being a part of our special day!
They say love finds you when you’re not looking, and for James and Arlesia, that couldn’t be truer.
From two different states, crossing paths in a city far from home, their story began in a donut shop in Atlanta, where laughter and warmth sparked something beautiful. Since then, every moment has been filled with faith, fun, and friendship that blossomed into a deep, abiding love.
Now, in Indianapolis, they are beginning their new chapter together.
James asked Arlesia as he calls her now "Special Samuels" to marry him. As Arlesia says yes, and chose Veterans Day, November 11th, to honor James’s service and to mark a day that represents commitment, courage, and new beginnings, the perfect day to say “I do.”
To some, it may seem soon, however, our short journey together has been filled with love, laughter, adventures, and lots of "Northern Conversation" from New York Pizza, to House Music, Sports (Go Giants & Bills) Politics, Fashion and Business. So many unforgettable moments in such a short time, that led us to this special day to be happy under God for a lifetime together as,
Mr. & Mrs. Samuels.
The date is approaching fast and we’re making preparations.
