We first met at USC in 2012 - Barron was having a pregame and lucked out because Melanie was invited by a mutual friend. She walked in and he instantly knew they were right for each other - kind of - but mostly was taken aback by her beauty. They starting hanging out and Melanie showed off her caring side, once bringing Barron her amazing Matzo Ball soup when he was sick. After their friendship in school, they reconnected when they both moved up to the Bay Area to be tech nerds. Barron reached out with a romantic Facebook message: "hey bud. livin in the bay area?" From there, their friendship bloomed into more of a romance. They started dating casually, but the timing was not right. After losing touch, Barron saw Melanie out at a bar in the Marina (Stock in Trade) and realized what a fool he was for letting her slip away. He started heavily pursuing her by appealing to what she loved most - comedy. He took her to the worst comedy show she had ever seen, and she loved it. Since then, it has been a whirlwind journey filled with amazing food, tons of laughter (mostly from Melanie at her own jokes), travel, and romantic strolls around SF longingly looking at beautiful houses we cannot afford. We are so excited to celebrate our special day with you in beautiful wine country!
