John and Melanie both attended Rowan University. After seeing each other at parties numerous of times, Melanie finally decided to approach him and talk to him! As cliche as it is, they fell in love within weeks of spending time together. They were inseparable the moment they met in college. They enjoyed cooking meals together every night, finding adventures to go on, and going out together and integrating their friends. Although people might of thought it was crazy and quick how fast they fell in love, Melanie and John knew they were right for each other the first night they met. John was graduating soon and Melanie remembered thinking "what are we going to do when he graduates and we live 2 hours away?" John would always reassure her that nothing would change. Sure enough, things did change, but for the better! Distance did not keep them apart. They spent every weekend at one of their parents’ house while dating. John and Melanie became inevitably close to each other's families over the last 6 years. They have spent days and weeks at a time at their parents house, spending quality time. Melanie and John would not trade those memories for anything! Fast forward to 5 years later and John FINALLY proposed to Melanie at Ringwood State Park. Melanie always made comments how beautiful an engagement would be there! They also have always talked about being married at Saint James Church and what their futures would look like. As this next chapter of their lives approaches, they often look back at when they first met and reflect on how they always knew that when they met it was going to be them two standing together at the end of the alter.
