We met through a mutual friend, who happened to be the bride's best friend. Our first encounter was lunch at a sushi restaurant then happy hour at Santa Row, many social outings, multiple mud run's, and the rest was history. Melissa and Chris hit it off immediately and were inseparable. The best way to describe it was love at first sight.

It was the day after Team Caybayab's family reunion, which meant a massive hangover and looking like a hot mess. Melissa and her sister's were cooking breakfast at her grandparents house. With a blink of the eye, Chris got down on one knee and popped the question. Chris thought being spontaneous was the best way to do it, especially in a place that meant so much to the bride to be.
