It was an ordinary Saturday night at Cowboys in Downtown Orlando—nothing out of the ordinary for Melanie or Jimmy, or so they thought. Melanie had decided last-minute to rally her friends for a night of line dancing, opting for fun over staying in. Meanwhile, Jimmy was convinced by his buddies to go out just one more time that weekend. From opposite ends of the room, their eyes met, and they exchanged a smile. As the night wore on, they kept bumping into each other—too shy to make the first move. Hours passed, and after countless casual run-ins, their friends (shoutout to Bridesmaid Nicole and Best Man Riley) could no longer contain themselves. Loudly, they encouraged both Melanie and Jimmy to finally strike up a conversation. And so they did. A few words turned into an exchange of numbers, and that led to a first date. From that moment on, the rest was history. Over the next 7.5 years, they shared countless date nights, movie and TV marathons, family gatherings, and adventures traveling the world. They also became proud dog parents to their beloved Teddy. Then, on June 22nd, 2024, surrounded by family at Oheka Castle, Jimmy took a knee and asked the question that would change everything: "Will you marry me?"
