Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

How We Met

October 2014

While we knew each other for many years prior to reconnecting, it was not until Melissa started coaching Cheerleading at Tom's former school that they were really able to hit it off. It took a few football games for Tom to gather up enough courage to ask Melissa out. We had our first date in October of 2014 and the chemistry was immediate. It's been the adventure of a lifetime ever since.

The Proposal

April 13, 2017

A covert operation of keeping the proposal under wraps finally came into fruition the fateful night of April 13th, 2017. Melissa and Tom have always been fond of traveling and experiencing the world together. Tom felt it would be perfect to do it while they were on the island paradise of the Dominican Republic. After a week of traveling and finding the perfect time to pop the question, the opportunity finally presented itself. They had just checked into their AirBnb and Tom convinced Melissa that they should take a stroll on the beach before having a nice dinner. Tom somehow was able to tell her that "we should bring our trusty tripod just in case a perfect photo opp happened to present itself." They were strolling along the beach with the best possible conditions: nice breeze, full moon, waves crashing. Tom found the perfect spot right underneath a palm tree, and while "posing" for a picture, Tom was actually recording the greatest moment of their lives. After pushing and shoving Tom (out of disbelief) for the first few seconds, Melissa said "YES!" We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in the DR!
