Love has a funny way of sneaking up on you when you least expect it—just ask Nathan Gilmour and Janelle Palmer. Back in late 2020, they rocked up to one of Sunday Singles’ very first comedy dating game shows at Comedy Lounge in Perth, WA. They came for the laughs, but what they left with was so much more. From that first eye-lock to a wedding that would make even the rom-com gods proud, here’s how their story unfolded.
Sometimes, the best nights out are the ones where you’re not really looking for anything serious—but fate has other plans. Nathan and Janelle both showed up at the same Sunday Singles show, each hoping for a laugh, a little flirt, and maybe a spark. Amongst the wisecracks and cheeky jabs, Nathan spotted Janelle’s bright smile from across the room, and Janelle couldn’t help but be drawn to Nathan’s sharp wit and easy humor. They didn’t expect anything but fun, but it quickly became clear there was something special brewing.
It was like a magnet—throughout the night, Nathan and Janelle kept finding reasons to be near each other. The banter flowed, the laughter was non-stop, and that unmistakable spark kept growing. As the night was winding down, Nathan decided to take a leap. He asked Janelle out, and without missing a beat, she said yes. Turns out, timing really is everything.
After that first date, Nathan and Janelle were inseparable—two peas in a hilariously romantic pod. It didn’t take long for them to realise that what they had was the real deal. So, in early 2021, Nathan went for the big one: he got down on one knee and asked Janelle to marry him. Of course, she said yes, because when you know, you know. And just like that, they were officially engaged!
In February 2022, Nathan and Janelle made it official, tying the knot in a stunning ceremony surrounded by friends, family, and plenty of love. The day was everything they’d hoped for—filled with laughter, beautiful moments, and all the little touches that made it uniquely theirs. It was a day worthy of the love story they’d built, starting from one fun night at a Sunday Singles show.
Nathan and Janelle aren’t the only ones who’ve found their happily ever after with a bit of comedy and charm. Sunday Singles has a knack for sparking all kinds of connections—whether it’s deep, meaningful relationships, unforgettable flings, or even just the start of a beautiful friendship. There’s something about sharing a laugh that makes meeting new people a whole lot easier (and a lot more fun).
