Our Wedding

It all began February 1, 2022 - the day that Melissa and Juliana had bought their house in Winchester, NH and moved in. That night, EJ was working at his job, cashiering at Alltown, just down the road from the house that Melissa and Juliana had bought. Moving day - there was no way that Melissa was cooking dinner on moving day, so they went into Alltown to try to find something such as a frozen pizza for dinner. EJ said something to Juliana and it had her cracking up. Melissa loved seeing her daughter so happy. Going forward, Melissa and Juliana would go into Alltown almost daily since it was pretty much the only store and gas station in town. However, from that first day, Juliana had promptly decided that no one else was worth talking to and was especially not worth cashing us out and would almost religiously ask if "Mr. EJ was working" and if "Mr. EJ was going to cash us out". Melissa didn't think much of it, even though Juliana would not stop asking about "Mr. EJ" for 8 months. Finally, with a dare from her good friend, Melissa decided to talk to EJ and gave him her number. They talked for a few minutes about cars and racing - EJs brothers raced and Melissa had grown up at the track with her dad - and then they went their separate ways. The next day, EJ sent Melissa a message and they got together, sitting on the porch talking for 4.5 hours, and the rest is history. They have not left each other's side for a single day since! And the best is yet to come!09/17/2022 - The 1st Day07/05/2024 - The Best Day08/23/2025 - The Rest Of Our Lives
