The bride and groom first met at a get-together with friends in the fall of 2019. After a year of being friendly acquaintances and seeing one another at these seasonal get-togethers, Aaron reached out to Paige after a Christmas party asking if she had any used textbooks he could borrow for his next semester in college. The groom later admitted that this was just a ploy to talk to the bride.

A few months passed going on dates that neither knew whether their outings were actually dates or whether they were just two friends hanging out. Finally, after revealed affections, the bride and groom officially became a couple on March 13, 2021 spending much of their time afterwards going on adventures.

Momentous events happened during the summer of 2022. The Melcher family sold their home of over twenty years, and on June 12, 2022, Aaron preached his first sermon away from his home church. That evening, to commemorate memories the Melchers shared in their home over the years, Aaron and his family planned a dinner for Paige and her family. Aaron wanted the bride's family to experience a part of Aaron's childhood before the Melchers moved. After the two families had dinner, Aaron and his brother/best man, Noah, performed a mini concert for everyone. Aaron included the song "Amazed" by Lonestar in his setlist, the bride and groom's song they first danced to. During this song, Aaron got down on one knee and proposed. Paige said yes!

After much planning and preparation, the bride and groom get to invite their family and friends--you!--to their wedding on June 22, 2024.

The couple would like to give ultimate thanks to God for planning this match for years and for guiding them through their relationship now and throughout their upcoming marriage.

Aaron and Paige would also like to thank their families and friends for taking care of and supporting them on their journey towards this special occasion. The bride and groom have learned the significance of God's guidance, protection, and love as well as what a caring marriage looks like from both of their parents and grandparents.

They would also like to give a special thanks to the Cummins family for helping make this match possible.
