A decade ago, Melby and Merlyn left their homeland and embarked on a new journey to the United States. Melby reignited his passion for music and began playing piano at a local Mar Thoma church, where Merlyn also attended. One Sunday, they exchanged smiles across the crowded pews, but neither had the courage to speak. Fast forward to 2018, Melby moved to a different church in Cypress, leaving Merlyn behind in Sugarland. Despite the distance, they remained Facebook friends since 2014, exchanging birthday wishes and brief updates about their lives. During the pandemic, Melby decided to grow his hair long and proudly posted pictures on social media. Merlyn, unimpressed, boldly commented on his new look, sparking a brief conversation. Melby posted another hair picture, and Merlyn commented again, leading to a playful exchange. This time, Melby responded with a hint of rudeness, saying, "You again??" This seemingly insignificant interaction ignited a deeper connection between them. Months later, their relationship blossomed, and on September 4, 2021, Melby asked Merlyn to be his girlfriend. Here on, their love continued to grow. After a year and a half of dating, Melby proposed on March 7, 2023, sealing their commitment with a ring. Now, they invite you to celebrate their love story, a tale of quirky conversations and undeniable love. Their journey from shy smiles to a lifelong commitment is a testament to the power of destiny and love. As they reflect on their story, they're grateful for every twist of fate that brought them together.
