Our Wedding

It was truly a Hollywood movie how Jeff and Melody met. They were walking in opposite directions in Downtown Hamilton as Melody happened to drop her phone. In one swift motion, Jeff caught the phone, took a selfie, input his phone number, and handed it back to her. With doves flying through a rainbow in the sky and Ed Sheeran appearing out of nowhere to play a new love song based on what he just witnessed, they locked eyes and never looked away again. Ok they met online through Hinge. Would've been nice though, right? The good news is that they were able to finally delete the app and become Un-Hinged together (that's what that means, right?) In an online dating world filled with trolls, AI, and catfishing, the fact that Jeff and Melody connected truly defies the odds. Relying on some algorithm to connect you with the person you want to spend the rest of your life with seems outlandish and impossible, but when Jeff and Melody met each other...it felt different. Their first date almost didn't even happen as the café they had chosen was closed and Melody thought it could have been a sign from the universe. Luckily, she gave Jeff a chance and they decided to meet at an Irish pub nearby. It probably wasn't the best first look for Jeff - with Melody walking into a dark, empty pub to see him sitting alone at a corner table foolishly waving at her. Despite her gut instinct telling her to run away at that point, Melody went and sat with him - and neither of them left those seats for hours as they talked and laughed into the night. As the night ended and they said their good nights, they both knew they had met someone special - but they could not have predicted that they had just started the rest of their life together. As individuals, Jeff and Melody are different in many ways - but their differences complement and bring out the best in each other. Melody is beautiful, smart, soft-spoken, and introverted - where Jeff is well, Jeff.(Melody - "Don't put that! You are charming, funny, easy-going. Write that!") Although they can be different as individuals, they are unified in how they approach their relationship in that they are always trying to put the other first - often resulting in a back and forth of "no, what do YOU want". They love finding activities and interests that they can enjoy together such as bowling, co-op computer games, and Costco french fries - but also encourage and support their individual passions and endeavors. The first set of chapters in their story have been amazing - with plenty of character development, a romantic wooing of the female lead, and an array of adventures with an amazing supporting cast of family and friends. Can't wait to celebrate the start of the next chapter on November 2nd!
