We wanted to reach out to you to let you know we’ve made a difficult decision to postpone our wedding. This was a heartbreaking decision, but not nearly as heartbreaking as the idea of putting our loved ones at risk. When it comes right down to it, a marriage is a commitment of two people, and a wedding is a party that can be rescheduled, so that is the route we have decided to take. At this time, things are changing rapidly. There are some unknowns at this point. We will be reaching out as soon as we set a new date. We appreciate your love and support and hope to celebrate with you soon. Stay safe and be well. Sincerely, Eric & Melissa

We met at Chesterfield Towne Center crossing paths Eric was doing his security patrol and Melissa was shopping with her mother. Our eyes locked and we both gave each other huge smiles. He tried to be slick and and asked if we were sisters, good way to get mom to laugh. Introductions were made...

Eric, Melissa, and Noah were enjoying a nice dinner at Flemings Steakhouse which was to be a celebration dinner for Noah for doing well in school. However Noah kept asking Eric about this box on the table. Melissa turned her head to look for the waiter and when turning around Eric was on one knee asking for her hand in marriage. Noah of course was all smiles and said he knew that box was for something!
