We met at our apartment complex right after both of us had moved to Houston when Grant helped Melissa carry some large moving boxes from her car to her apartment. Grant was starting medical school at UT Houston and Melissa was starting Neonatology fellowship at Baylor. We hit it off instantly. After becoming friends, Melissa finally agreed to a date two months later and the rest is history!

Grant came home to Virginia Beach with Melissa for part of the Christmas holiday. Melissa wanted to take him to Williamsburg while they were in town to see her alma mater William and Mary and meet her best friend Cam and Cam's husband Will. While waiting to meet Cam and Will, Grant asked Melissa to walk over the famous Crim Dell Bridge on William and Mary campus. While walking over the bridge, Grant turned Melissa and got down on one knee. Melissa said YES right away and Grant had surprised her with a professional photographer to capture the moment! Then Cam and Will came out of hiding and were actually watching the whole time! They celebrated with brunch and dinner in Colonial Williamsburg and a wine tasting at Williamsburg Winery. We are so excited to celebrate our marriage with you all in Austin, Texas!
