This was the moment right before Lino told me why we were all gathered together...!

Happily engaged!

We met dancing, and haven't stopped since!!!

One year together... happy new year!!!

That cold day in March when we posed for a photoshoot in the "Rise Up in Love" project in Times Square!

Ready for another night of dancing with friends!!

Meeting the family for Thanksgiving! Cheers!!

Boys and their toys... bonding over car parts!

City theater!

Rooftop summer dates in the city

That time Lino took Mel surfing..!

Surrounded by love in a world where we don't often see men hugging and bonding with other men. Male intimacy is on the rise. Times are changing.

Hang 10! Pura vida!

Celebrating the weekend we first formed our Relationship Agreements!

That morning Mel awoke to the sweet gesture that showed her Lino was falling in love...!

The sweet smile Melissa melted for.

Our first Christmas together! We spent it in two places - his home, and hers, with New York family and friends. Here's hoping we get to spend future Christmases with you...!

The day after Lino gave Mel her promise ring!... because he wanted to give her "ALL the rings!!"
