Mel and I first met as teenagers working at Old Navy in Yuma, Arizona. One night during a closing shift, he asked me on a movie date. The following day, he asked me on a 2nd date to Buffalo Wild Wings. After many chicken wings and laughter, we became inseparable!

One Saturday morning, Mel surprised me with a trip to Mt. Lemon Ski Valley. As we got closer to our destination, I thought we were attending Oktoberfest. Little did I know, Mel had a master plan to propose to me on the ski lift! My sister was at the top of the ski lift, taking pictures of our special moment. It was truly the best day ever!
