Melissa and Ryan grew up together in Glen Cove, NY after Ryan had moved from flushing at 8 years old. While growing up together and attending school together, it wasn’t until a cold December night in New Years Eve that their paths crossed.

Ryan and Melissa’s best friends, Joana and Nery, decided to introduce them to each other after leaving a high school party that night and taking a long hike home. Every day after that is history.

After 7 years of laughs, tears, and love, Ryan and Melissa were finally engaged on July 12, 2024. They are beyond blessed and contented to share their special day with all of you!
