It all started with a haircut! Melissa was getting her hair done by Laurie Prins—Brandon’s great-aunt—when she started venting about how frustrating dating had been. Laurie immediately thought of her great-nephew and asked if Melissa would be interested in a date.

That same night, Laurie went to the Genzink’s house for dinner and couldn’t wait to tell Brandon about this possible setup. He hadn’t been expecting a matchmaking attempt, but after hearing about Melissa (and confirming we were both interested), we got each other’s numbers.

From the moment we started texting, we couldn’t stop talking. A week later, we went on our first date, and before we knew it, hours had passed—we had completely lost track of time just talking. Despite a few embarrassing moments on both sides, we couldn’t stop laughing and had an amazing time. It felt effortless, like we had known each other forever.

The rest is history—because we still can’t stop talking to each other!
