Melissa & Michael
Our Wedding
Message From the Couple
Thank you so much for choosing to be there on our special day! We can't wait to start the rest of our lives together and celebrate with all of our loved ones!
About Us
Melissa and Mike met in 2015 through mutual friends and family. Not knowing at the time they had grew up in towns right next to each other and went to the same high school. They eventually became friends for several years and their friendship grew stronger over time, especially when they became co workers after college.
After working together for a year and many dinner dates later, their relationship began in 2021 and a year later they moved in together. On January 20th, 2023, Mike took Melissa to dinner at the same restaurant they had their first date at, and he proposed to her on that night to begin their forever life together.
