Stephen and Melissa's journey began in 2021, in the lively atmosphere of a bar, where they were introduced by mutual friends. That night, there was an undeniable spark between them, but the timing wasn’t quite right for either of them. Despite the connection they felt, they went their separate ways, each carrying a fond memory of that brief encounter.

A year passed, and fate intervened in a most unexpected way. Stephen and Melissa found each other once again, this time on Lox Club (yes that is a hilarous name for a jewish dating app). Funny enough, they were each other's first match when they downloaded the app. Recognizing each other immediately, they decided to give it a shot and went on their first official date. That date turned out to be everything they had hoped for and more. They laughed, shared stories, and felt a deep connection that was unmistakable. By the end of the evening, they both knew they had found something incredibly special. From that point on, they were inseparable.

Within a couple months, Stephen and Melissa were officially a couple. They quickly became integral parts of each other’s lives, blending their worlds together seamlessly. Friends and family could see how perfectly they complemented each other, and it was clear to everyone that they were meant to be. Stephen popped the question in the beautiful city of Florence, Italy on May 3rd, 2024 and the rest is history.

Stephen and Melissa’s love story is a beautiful reminder that sometimes, love finds you when you least expect it, and timing is everything. Their journey has been one of serendipity, deep connection, and unwavering love. Now, they are overjoyed to begin the next chapter of their lives together, surrounded by the people they cherish most.
