We met at Lowe's when we both worked there. We had become friends over time until one day Andrea said something embarrassing. We were talking about where Melvin lived and she stated "I will be waiting on you hiding in your bushes when you get home." From there it was love. Melvin asked Andrea out by writing a note that told her to circle yes or no to going out with him. Of course she said yes.

We had taken a family cruise to the Eastern Caribbean. On the first elegant night as we were getting ready he prepared to propose. He waited until she had all of her makeup on and then got down on one knee and asked if she would marry him in front of Amber. Of course, she said yes!
