In a world where love and music intertwine seamlessly, Deanna Dellia and Jake Luttrell, a dynamic R&B duo known as The Luttrells, have captured hearts not only with their melodies but with their enchanting love story. This Nashville-based couple recently got engaged, and their journey from meeting to engagement is a beautiful blend of fate, creativity, and shared dreams.


Deanna and Jake’s story began three years ago on the lively streets of Broadway in Nashville. Deanna, a psychotherapist and dark romance author, was visiting from New Jersey, scouting the scene for a potential move to Music City. Little did she know that her life was about to change dramatically when a mutual friend introduced her to Jake, a creative digital marketer and music producer. Despite Deanna’s initial hesitation towards dating a “skinny musician,” as she humorously recalls, Jake’s charm won her over that night on Broadway.


Their connection was instant and undeniable, but with Deanna still living in New Jersey, the couple faced the challenge of a long-distance relationship. They navigated the distance with frequent visits and endless FaceTime calls, never letting the miles between them weaken their bond. Within a few months, Deanna made the move to Nashville, and the two began building a life together, complete with two beloved cats, Lemon and Luna.


Fast forward to October, and Jake had a surprise in store for Deanna that would take their relationship to the next level. A musician at heart, Jake used his artistic talents to stage the perfect proposal. He planned a “music video shoot” at Arrington Vineyards, a picturesque location known for its sprawling hills and beautiful sunsets. The song, “My Red Wine,” was the backdrop, but the real showstopper was the moment Jake got down on one knee, surrounded by friends and with the cameras rolling. Deanna, initially thinking it was just another scene in the video, was caught off guard and overjoyed when she realized it was the real deal.
The proposal was not only a testament to Jake’s creativity but also to the couple’s deep connection to music, which has been a cornerstone of their relationship. It was the perfect blend of their worlds, encapsulating their love story in a way that was uniquely theirs.


After the proposal, the couple wasted no time diving into wedding planning. They found the perfect venue at Barn in the Bend in Madison, Tennessee. The venue, with its rustic charm and scenic views, perfectly matched their vision of a Nashville wedding. Deanna, with her Italian roots, has infused the wedding theme with touches of olive green, reflecting her heritage, while still embracing the country vibes of their chosen location.


The Luttrells are all about making their wedding day a reflection of who they are as a couple. From using a guitar case for cards and presents to having a vinyl guest book, every detail is steeped in personal significance. They’ve planned a celebration that will be filled with love, laughter, and, of course, plenty of music.
As they look forward to their wedding day, Deanna and Jake continue to make music together, living out their dream of taking over the world one song—and one adventure—at a time. Their story is a beautiful reminder that when love and creativity come together, magic happens.
