''There are not enough words in the world to express how much these two mean to me and our family. And there’s nothing better than doing what you love for who you love,'' she said.
Chantell attributed much of her success to her grandparents, Mattie Mae Griffin and Willie David Gamble.
''A big part of who I am is because of them. I learned to entertain from watching my grandmother graciously host at their home in Liberty City.
''My granddad’s lifelong career in the construction industry helped shape my early event designs as he was my “prop guy” before the 5-6 figure budgets and production companies.''
According to her, she may never be able to repay her grandparents for all they have done for their family but noted that she is ''grateful that she could use her gift and talent to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience for them''.
Chantell shared beautiful visuals from the occasion, which gathered reactions from social media.

YEN.com.gh previously reported that when Ama Afrakoma Appiah Dwaah first delivered her mobile number to Appiah Gerald in a conversation on Facebook, she had no idea the gesture would end in praise.
The duo had started chatting in their DMs, moving from total strangers to sharing contacts to establishing a friendship. Without a scintilla of coyness, Ama Dawah released her mobile number as though she knew the end from the beginning.
From the first day the pair bonded in their DMs, they would become friends and even proceed with plans to be husband and wife.
