It all starts in this little town in upstate NY and little karaoke party during Saratoga Beer Week…. Year after year Donovan and Melissa would hang out and become friendly, but in all truth she never paid much attention to him until he broke out the Third Eyed Blind year three at karaoke and she knew she was smitten. Just kidding, but she did say Yes to going on a date. Fast forward to many visits from Donovan (all the way to Saratoga from Buffalo) and a long list of adventures… they knew it was something special. Always on the move at a new restaurant or concert until covid decided to peek it’s dirty little head. One wonderful result was getting to spend extra time together, learning more about each other’s story, cooking together and taking millions of miles in walks. Deciding to move to Buffalo came easy. Donovan got himself a true Buffalonian out of the deal and Melissa found herself a new home with lots of wonderful new friends to add into her heart. Some of the best memories are made over a beer and some of the best relationships can start with one…. and karaoke helps. To be continued…..
