Introduction

On August 1st, 2025, Rob and Melanie will gather their closest friends and family at the Detroit City Distilling in Detroit to celebrate their love. Rob, a passionate beer salesman who enjoys sports, CrossFit, and tailgating at football games, found his perfect match in Melanie. A talented hairstylist and devoted mother of two boys and two dogs, Melanie shares Rob's enthusiasm for CrossFit and cherishes watching her sons' sports games. Their relationship blossomed from a shared love for fitness and family, forging a deep connection that would culminate in this beautiful wedding day.

How They Met

Rob and Melanie’s story began in the vibrant atmosphere of their local CrossFit gym. Initially, they became best friends, bonding over shared workouts and mutual friends. Melanie recalls a moment when she saw Rob in action and jokingly asked her friends, Krissy and Dana, “How can I get me one of those?” Their playful camaraderie quickly evolved into a deeper relationship as they discovered their shared interests, including a love for museums and history, embarking on adventures to the Cleveland museums that brought them even closer together.

Journey Together

Their journey together was marked by special moments that solidified their bond. The first time Rob met Melanie’s boys was a memorable experience, filled with lively discussions about sports and laughter. As they began integrating their lives, they enjoyed family outings, attended each other’s work events, and became an inseparable part of one another’s inner circles.

The Proposal

Rob's first trip to Detroit with Melanie was a significant milestone, as was the day he introduced her boys to the city. They created cherished memories together, from visiting the NFL Draft to enjoying quality times at the boathouse with family. It was during their first family vacation at the lake, surrounded by Rob’s favorite place in Port Huron, that Rob made a heartfelt proposal, sealing their commitment with love (while her friend Krissy and Rob’s Aunt Theresa hid in the bushes for the perfect moment).
