It’s FINALLY happening! We cannot wait to celebrate with you!

Our story began way back in 2011 at Westbrook High School. We met through mutual friends, one of them being Best Man, Joe Dvilinsky, and quickly hit it off. Melissa loved that Adam was sporty, had blue eyes, and could always make her laugh. Adam fell for Melissa’s unique, and loveable personality.

We were long distance while Adam attended the University of Maine in Presque Isle, a 5 hour drive from Westbrook (basically Canada), and Melissa finished high school. Adam spent his weekdays playing baseball, eating pizza at Big Cheese, and studying Physical Education. Many of his weekends were spent driving back home to Westbrook (Melissa made the trek up to Presque Isle a whopping one time). Melissa spent her college days at Saint Joseph’s College of Maine where she studied endlessly for nursing exams, always looking forward to the weekend visits from Adam.

After Adam finished college, he moved back home to Westbrook — finally, no more long distance! He worked a variety of jobs: an ed. tech/substitue teacher, a “chip guy” and as a coach of baseball and soccer. A few years later, Melissa graduated with her nursing degree and started working as a nurse at Maine Medical Center on the medical/surgical floor. Since then, we both have moved on to our dream jobs — Adam as an elementary school physical education teacher and varsity baseball coach, and Melissa as a labor and delivery nurse. We currently live in our cozy, two bedroom apartment in Portland with our adorable (and arguably, the best member of the family) kitty, Finley.

Finally, on July 31st 2021, Adam planned an outing on Peak’s Island. The weather was perfect and on our second loop biking around the island, Adam got the courage to pop the question…. 💍 and here we are! Thank you so much for your love and support! We can’t wait to celebrate our special day with you!
