Our Wedding

Our journey began in a place we both call home: Norwalk, CT. Though we grew up in the same town, fate waited until a chance encounter in 2016 to bring us together. One weekend, while Melanie was visiting home for the weekend, she went out with her friends to downtown Stamford. There, at the infamous Colombian bar, Gastros, we met. Little did we know that night would mark the beginning of an incredible adventure. Our first date brought us to Astoria, where we dined at Shady Lady, a cozy and vibrant restaurant. That December, we took our first vacation together to Nashville, TN—a destination we still laugh about because neither of us can remember why we picked it. But the trip was unforgettable, sparking a shared love for travel that has led us to explore over 49 cities and 30 states together. In February of 2020, we decided to take the next big step and move in together. Just one month later, the pandemic turned the world upside down, but our bond grew even stronger. "If we could make it through this," we thought, "we could make it through anything." That Fall, we also welcomed a new member into our little family—our beautiful baby boy Frenchie, Milo, who we got from the motherland! Fast forward to 2024: after almost 8 longggg years together, Bryan finally popped the question during our vacation to Lake Tahoe. What was supposed to be a sunny May getaway turned into a winter wonderland thanks to an unexpected snowstorm, and the rest is history! From Norwalk to Nashville, Astoria to Tahoe, and everywhere in between, we have built a life full of love, adventure, and laughter. We can't wait to see what the future holds—and are thrilled to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
