We're Getting Married!

It has been said that true love finds you when you least expect it. This love story certainly wasn't an expected one. Melissa had first been introduced to Ron as his co-worker's sister and Ron introduced to Melissa as her brother's friend from work. Most people would assume this is where the story starts, but no. Life's journey still intended to teach and mold each of them to be more perfect for the other. Melissa moved away for some time and in that time Ron became a regular at the Higgins' residence on football Sunday's. Eventually, life lead Melissa back to Rhode Island where Ron had become a regular guest of the family. Ron and Melissa shared smiles and laughs in their exchanges amongst family. Being single parents of two each, all within 4 years age of one another, made it easy to connect and share with each other. As more time passed the children became friends and seeing each other became more often. If you know Ron or Melissa, then it is no surprise that Melissa was the one who first asked Ron on a date... and of course he procrastinated it. Ron eventually smartened up and built the requisite courage for a date with Melissa. They went to Jack's in Warren and Ron introduced Melissa to smelts for the first time. The date went perfectly, the connection was easy and immediate. After the date Ron even made 'The Call' to his mother, "Mom, I think I found the one." Two looooonnnggg days later, they got to see each other for a Memorial Day party. After spending the entire day trying to act normal amongst everyone else, they had finally a spare moment and shared their first kiss. The two have been passionately in love and devoted to one another since then and are now forever uniting themselves and their families through love and matrimony.
