Our Wedding

Ah, college—the place where dreams take flight, literally! Back in the day, they were both aiming to become airline pilots. How far they both have come. James was head over heels, and Melanie, Melanie was... well, let's just say wasn't exactly on the same page. In fact, she almost disliked him at first! But as fate would have it, they were thrown together during flight training... Flying together had changed everything. As they navigated through the skies, sometimes literally and sometimes metaphorically Melanie started to see a different side of James. The more they flew, the more Melanie learned about his passion for aviation and his quirky sense of humor. Slowly but surely, that initial dislike morphed into something unexpected: genuine admiration and, eventually, affection. Fast forward almost eight years, and here they are, soon to be happily married! Who would’ve thought that the person she had initially brushed off would become partners in life? The journey from awkward first impressions to deep connection is a reminder that sometimes love blossoms in the most unexpected places.So, here’s to college, to flying high, and to love that surprises in the best ways possible!

Chloe is one of the best older sisters a Bride could ask for. She has always been at my side ( we don't count the years when we were younger..). Chloe has always been around for me when I needed her most and I could not think of anyone more fitting than Chloe to be with me on my special day.

Tim and I have been best friends since we were born. We have since worked together, lived together, and even for a brief moment been domestic partners (just for the flight benefits).
