Love is a magical thing because when it is just right, love can happen anywhere. Take, in this instance, an overnight shift on an inpatient pediatric floor. Seriously, where else do a nurse and a doctor meet? But that innocent meeting between Brett and Melissa in the fall of 2017 was fateful, as shortly thereafter they were inseparable. They say love can overcome any boundary, and their story isn’t without obstacles. Brett moved to Philadelphia in June of 2018 to continue his residency training. Not a fan of the long distance, Melissa followed suit and moved the following April. But by the summer they found themselves living in different cities once again when Brett’s hospital shut down. Despite the miles between them they made the most of the next two years! Three years, four moves, several new jobs, a hospital closure, thousands of miles in their cars, and one global pandemic later, Brett and Melissa finally came together under the same roof! After all they had been through, all Melissa could say when she saw Brett down on one knee next to a waterfall in St. Lucia was an emphatic “Yes!” – and all their family and friends could say was “It’s about damn time!” This is our story, and we can’t wait to start our next chapter in September!
