One evening in July 2011, Melody and Evan were asked by two of their best friends, Sheva Miran (Maid of Honor) and Bryan Anderson (Groomsman), to attend a party with them. Sheva and Bryan were co-workers at UCLA. After much coaxing, Melody and Evan agreed to attend and that evening they met each other for the first time. That summer they spent almost every day speaking to one another and spending time together until they finally decided to begin dating near the end of that October. They never looked back and on April 15, 2017, Evan took Melody on a scavenger hunt that ended on the roof of a building in Westwood where he walked her down a line of pastel rose petals and proposed to her. This summer, after their wedding, they will begin a new chapter of their life, heading to Northern California as a married couple.
