Our love story began with a match on Hinge, sparked by a photo of Mel drinking beer and Justin’s infectious smile, which led to a shared conversation about Hawaii. This initial connection blossomed into a beautiful journey that led us across the globe. Over the past four years, we’ve embarked on numerous adventures together, exploring the natural wonders of Yosemite, Burney Falls, Tahoe and Zion, embracing the magic of Disneyland, and immersing ourselves in the rich cultures of Spain, Antigua, and Italy. Each destination deepened our bond and created cherished memories. The pinnacle of our journey occurred on the picturesque shores of Lake Como in Menaggio, Italy. There, Justin orchestrated a heartfelt proposal, complete with a surprise photographer to capture the moment and a romantic boat ride to celebrate our engagement. As we stand on the threshold of this new chapter, we are filled with excitement and anticipation for the future. We eagerly look forward to celebrating our marriage with all of you, our cherished family and friends, who have supported us throughout our journey.
