Friends and family, Our story begins when we met on a trip to Las Vegas—at Encore Beach Club, to be exact. What started as a fun, spontaneous day quickly turned into something much more meaningful. We sparked each other's interest right away, drawn to a curiosity about who we were and what we could become together. From there, our relationship bloomed as we spent time together, sharing laughter, stories, and experiences. Our favorite memories are the ones where we see each other happy and glowing—whether that’s spending time with family, especially with our two nieces, or having cozy dates at home. Whether it's a quiet moment between just the two of us or big adventures traveling the world, we always feel at home in each other's company. And nothing beats waking up together each day, ready to face whatever life has in store, hand in hand. What makes us so special is how we complement each other. Allison's dedication and Type A personality keep our lives running smoothly—ensuring that everything is in its place. Meanwhile, Mel brings a relaxed, Type B vibe, always knowing how to make each day fun and fill it with laughter. Together, we create the perfect harmony, and we know that our love is limitless because we’re the perfect team. The next chapter of our love story began in Palos Verdes. After months of planning and searching for the perfect ring, Mel took us to a breathtaking oceanview spot, where friends and family gathered to celebrate our commitment to each other. It was a day filled with love, emotion, and a promise to always keep building our future together. Our hopes and dreams for the future are simple yet profound. We dream of growing old together, continue to share countless adventures, creating a loving family of our own, and continuing to support each other through thick and thin. But none of this would be possible without you, our cherished guests. Your presence at our wedding celebration is what truly completes our love story. We want you to know that you are an essential part of our journey, and we are so grateful to have you by our side. So, dear friends and family, let us come together to celebrate love, laughter, and the start of our next chapter. We invite you to join us in this new beginning and share in the joy of our union. With all our love and gratitude, Mel and Allison
