Melissa and Brady met at Grant’s bar in West Hartford on Memorial Day weekend in 2015. Melissa eyed Brady from across the bar and instantly knew she needed to meet him. After a few hours of waiting to talk to him, she insisted on introducing herself to him at closing time. Brady texted her the next day and as a true gentleman, Brady asked Melissa where she wanted to go for dinner. She couldn’t think of a better first date than her favorite restaurant, Barcelona in West Hartford.

After a little over four years together Brady proposed! He surprised her with a romantic happy hour at their favorite Morris House hotel, which led to homemade dinner on their apartment’s candlelit rooftop deck. Brady brought out champagne to which Melissa asked what the occasion was?! Brady went down on one knee and Melissa burst out crying before being able to say yes!
