Our Wedding

Melina and Kyle met in May 2015. They were enjoying a night out and crossed paths. After their first meeting they were inseparable. The true love began two months later on June 14 that same year. They spent the next couple of years going on adventures, traveling and taking in the small things together. Their love continued to grow and on December 29, 2017 Kyle proposed to Melina. Kyle contemplated how and when he should drop the big question. He finally decided to propose in Puerto Pinasco Mexico on a beautiful sunset beach with Melina’s family. The moment was memorable and special. After their engagement they bought a house in April 2018 and invested their time, energy and money into making it a home for the two of them to share. Now the next step in their commitment to each other is here. They are getting married at the Botanical Gardens on March 20, 2021. Who knows what the future may hold but Kyle and Melina know they will be holding hands and standing side by side through it all. They are so excited to share their special moment with family and friends.

Our Story

Due to COVID-19 the Botanical Gardens currently has restrictions on the number of people permitted to congregate together for our wedding. For the safety of our guests and to follow the state guidelines regarding COVID-19 we are no longer able to have all 75 guests attend.  Please be aware that with only 30 guests it will be limited to immediate family of Kyle and Melina. We are saddened by this but we know all of the people we originally invited will understand.  Because we value our wedding party and all of the people who were intended to be in it we have left their information on our website. Unfortunately many of the party members are not able to attend the wedding. We are saddened by this but safety for all is our number one priority. We are planning to celebrate our special moment with everyone originally invited as soon as it is safe to congregate in large groups. We will keep you informed of any plans we arrange!  Thank you for your patience and support in these difficult times! We love you all and value all of you as part of our family and friends!!  If you have further questions please feel free to text or call us anytime!  Kyle Huggins: 702-742-1986 Melina Morton-Starner: 928-814-9329   Please Note:  Mask will be required regardless of the restrictions.
