Hinge to Honeys
Rylan and Melissa matched on Hinge in the summer of 2022. Rylan was far more serious about a relationship than Melissa initially was. That September, Melissa joined Rylan at Lake of the Ozark for Labor Day weekend. By the end of their stay, Melissa knew Rylan was too good to let go. They spent the next year and a half in a long distance relationship. Each of them drove two hours to Osceola and Olathe every other weekend. In May of 2024, Melissa moved to Osceola to live with Rylan. In January of 2025, Rylan proposed to Melissa in their kitchen with the help of their puppy, Kali. Now, they’re planning their 2026 wedding at Rylan’s great grandparents ranch, now run by his cousins Austin and Weston Shelby. The happy couple cannot wait to celebrate with you.
