In her own words: My childhood best friend Joyce and I were bored one day. She suggested I set up an online dating account just for fun. Giggling, we got to work. I swiped right on the second profile I saw: a tall, really cute boy named Paddy whose dream dinner guest is Danny DeVito. Little did I know, that boy would become my whole world.

In his own words: At first, I couldn’t believe a girl like Melanie was real. Literally, because when she told me she was 6’4” I didn’t believe her. But when I met her in person on our first date (Cats the Musical by the way. Never again.), she was even taller and more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Since then, we have grown so much together (not literally, thankfully), and the last 6 years have been full of endless love and laughter.
