Our Wedding

They grew up just a few miles apart—in the same hometown, across town at different schools—always knowing of each other, but never officially meeting. That changed when Hunter came to visit his brother, Preston, at Allegheny College, where Melina was also a student. A weekend visit turned into something much more. They clicked instantly and spent nearly every day together after that. In the three years since, they’ve celebrated two graduations, started two new jobs, rented their first apartment, welcomed home their wonderful dog, Pia, bought their first home, and created countless other memories. Now, their unforgettable love story brings us here, ready to say “I do”!
