We met the summer of 2014 camping in Saluda, NC with our family and friends for just one night. When the next morning came, Melissa went back to Florida and Alec went back to Brevard. A year and a half later in November 2015, and one random Snapchat, Alec is flying down for Melissa's 21st birthday in Tallahassee, FL. In February, Alec decided it was time to make things official. We dated long-distance from Tallahasse, FL to Brevard, NC for a year and a half. Once graduated in 2017, Melissa moved to NC for grad school. As graduate school was coming to an end, Alec asked Melissa’s mom for her blessing July 2020 and popped the question that November, captured by our two loving friends! And the rest is still to be written...
