The First Day... In this digital age, we found each other online. Believe it or not, Patrick was the first and only man Melissa ever messaged! The first date involved lots of talking, fro-yo, Disney movies, and Mario Kart. At the end of the night Melissa texted her sister, Cassie, to let her know she just met her future husband. Five years later, here we are! The "Yes" Day... By this point, we had been through a lot as a couple and always come out stronger and more sure of our relationship. We were having more and more conversations about our future and what we really wanted. One of those conversations went late into the night and Melissa had a big day at work the next day, so she cut the conversation a little short. She went to get ready for bed. When she walked into the bedroom, she noticed something orange on our dog, Gus's, collar. It was a post it note with the words "Will you?" written on it. She looked at Patrick so confused and said "Will I what?!" He asked if she would be his forever with her dream ring that was discontinued and no longer available! Little did she know, Patrick had gotten the ring a few months earlier on Father's Day and had also gotten her family's permission. And now here we are! The Best Day... We can't wait to celebrate with all of you soon!
