We first met as coworkers at the Ogunquit Playhouse in Southern Maine. Patrick working backstage on run crew and Melissa working in the Costume Shop. After working together for a handful of years, our friendship blossomed and we became much closer. During the post-pandemic summer season our love story began. From coffee and breakfast excursions to overly competitive board game sessions we soon found our selves falling deeper into our friendship and inevitably in love. Through career changes and moves we have been each other’s greatest support system. On November 9th, 2024 Patrick proposed to Melissa on Nantasket Beach with his grandmother’s ring. Patrick’s parents and Melissa’s mother were blessed to be with us and witness the special moment. We are incredibly excited to celebrate with the rest of our loved ones in June!
