Mike and Melina met on the beach... in Ohio. You heard that right! Both had residences at Hidden Lake, a beautiful place in Columbus built around a quarry. Both self-confessed beach bums, they saw each other frequently one summer down on the water until Mike found a way to start a conversation. Their first date was on Melina's parents' wedding anniversary - September 9. It must be a lucky date. Three years later, Mike proposed after making a special steak dinner for Melina on October 27. What makes this combo work? Mike brings out Melina's lighter side, making her laugh daily. Melina offers Mike the support and encouragement to reach for his goals. Melina and Mike are grateful to their friends and families for supporting them throughout their relationship and look forward to celebrating with you.
