Our Story
Mel shot her shot on the dating app Bumble during the pandemic winter of 2020. Todd had the brilliant idea that a first date walk along the Schyulkill river in Philadelphia suited the 20 degree December weather. Somehow, the two walked together for hours, where time passed quicker than they could realize their hands and toes had turned numb. Todd then had the audacity to suggest they have their second date the very next day, and somehow Mel agreed. They said "I love you" six months later. Became roommates a year after that. And Todd managed to ask Mel to marry him before they both broke down in tears in April 2023. All the while, they had each other's back during highs and lows, escaped on vacations to explore the world together, and ate their way around damn near every new restaurant in Philadelphia. During engagement, things have only gotten better, and now they can't wait to get married in Charleston, SC where they spent their first vacation together and many more trips since.
