Our love story is a true modern day romance. It all started when we both swiped right in March 2022. We met on our first date at Massa's, talked for so long the waitress had to remind us they were closing soon, and the rest is history. Robert knew that day that it was meant to be when he wore his favorite shirt with "WINNER" across the front under his polo. Missy giggled about that for days...go figure.

The Proposal: July 4th, 2022. Robert knew that Missy didn't want anything over the top or in public... It was the early early morning on Independence Day. It happened to fall in the middle of the week that year but they were both off work so of course they stayed up late watching The Machine on Netflix. It was eventually past their bed time and Missy lays in bed. Perplexed, Robert starts reaching around on her pillow looking for something. He had put a tiny little box inside Missy's pillow thinking it would hit her in the head when she laid down. Unfortunately for him, she flipped her pillow and had no idea. So here he is bugging the crap out of her and she had no idea why... He pulls the tiny box out of her pillowcase. It was a cute wooden box with "how about forever" engraved on it. He asked, and she said "a thousand times yes" ... just as Jane Bennet did in Pride & Prejudice.

Melissa sold her condo and moved in with Robert and Grizz in August 2023. Somehow the two households merged almost seamlessly into one. It took 5 hours to condense and reorganize the kitchen... How many pizza cutters could two people possibly need? (FYI: 8 is not the right answer.)
