Melissa and Joshua met on Instagram. Joshua courageously messaged Melissa and started conversation that eventually led to the exchange of phone numbers. After a few weeks of conversation, Melissa and Joshua finally went on their first date. Joshua took Melissa to Smith & Wollensky Steak House in South Beach, FL and ended the night at a near lounge, Radio. They enjoyed the night so much that Melissa asked Joshua to see each other again the next day and that turned into a "first weekend" instead of a "first date." Melissa and Joshua have not gone a whole week without each other since that first weekend together.

It was Melissa's birthday weekend and Joshua decided that it would be a good idea to have a birthday party. He invited all of Melissa's closest friends and family and with the help of both parents and siblings, he made sure the decorations, food &beverages, and music was perfectly planned. Everyone ate, drank and danced all night until it was time to sing "Happy Birthday." Melissa had a little more than a few drinks at this point and really did not want the night to end. Everyone was gathered around Melissa singing and when she approached the cake to blow her candles, Joshua stops her, removes the cake topper that was hiding a little blue box, kneels on one knee and asks the question she had only dreamt of, "Will you marry me?." It was truly a wish come true.
