Our Wedding

While Andrew will say Melanie stood him up for the first date (the number of times changes if you ask him), she absolutely did no such thing. Meeting at Sawhorse in Asheville, NC for a breakfast date, while possibly her idea, was a great first date in theory....but asking Melanie to get out of bed early?! This guy must be something else! On September 11th, 2019 after spending the entire date laughing over the worlds best pancakes and discussing water islands, they've been inseparable since.

On a Wednesday in a cafe

On a roadtrip together visiting Dallas and Las Vegas to Salt Lake City, they planned to stop at a few cool locations they read about online. Dinosaur tracks in Warner Valley with little water and no sense of direction. Beautiful sights in Zion National Park. Butch Cassidy's childhood home near Circleville. And obviously including the Geographical Center of Utah. It was here that they hiked, only up hill and dead tired doing so, where Andrew is pretty sure he asked her to marry him and Melanie is pretty sure she said of course!
