Calling the play

Melody and Quentin first met when they were only seven years old. Quentin was playing football for the Chico Jaguars and Melody was on the Cheer squad, cheering his team on from the sidelines (go team, go!). During these seven years they got acquainted with each other but had no idea where their story would eventually go.

Putting it into motion

Quentin and Melody both went to Bidwell Junior High, but eventually ended up at Pleasant Valley High School and that’s when they started to take notice of each other. An unexpected player in their matchmaking process was a stuffed giraffe named Jeff. Anyone who knows Melody knows that giraffes are her absolute favorite, and when she posted a picture of her new stuffed giraffe “Jeff” to Instagram on Christmas of 2012, with the caption “I found my soul mate”, Quentin jumped on the opportunity to show her otherwise! Shortly after a string of comments and a phone number exchange, Quentin and Melody were on their first date, followed by years of many more dates, dances, proms, lots of laughs and memories made together.

Gametime

Fast forward to ten years later... After ten years of blood, sweat, tears, and COVID, Quentin and Melody are engaged and ready to #Shytheknot. Unfortunately, COVID ruined Quentin's plans to propose at their favorite place, Disneyland, but he was able to pull off a showstopping proposal at another special place, their family cabin on Buck's Lake, on July 10th, 2020. This is the same special place that Quentin asked Melody to prom in 2013. We are so happy to have all of you celebrating this special time with us! Thank you!
