Stanley and Ariana first met in 2014 during a production of Porgy and Bess where Stanley was the rehearsal pianist and Ariana was singing.

Now 12 years and 4 states later, the happy couple reside in Tuscaloosa where Stanley teaches at The University of Alabama and Ariana works remotely when she is not performing, and cater to a very cute and very spoiled French Bulldog named Napoleon.

The couple enjoys travel, fine dining, concerts, spicy food, music, basketball, art, cooking, reading, and so many things that give purpose and joy to their lives.
