When they Met
They met online and chatted their way through Christmas of 2018 while Melissa was visiting family in BC. When she returned to Edmonton a coffee date seemed appropriate and is now a yearly date they celebrate in January.
Our Love Story
You know how it goes. Boy invites girl to coffee, girl accepts, she explains how she makes glow in the dark fish in a lab and a romance was born!
Their First Real Date
Mike took Melissa to the Telus World of Science for their first official date, where they learned about animal physiology at the Bodyworlds: Animals Inside Out exhibit. They finished their date by watching Legends of the North Sky in the Zeidler Dome, cuddled up on a bean-bag chair.
Where They Fell in Love
Melissa and Michael fell in love in the beginning of 2019 while watching SciFi movies and going for late night drives to Elk Island.
Engagement
In December 2021, Michael schemed with his closest friends to go to Elk Island to take “Christmas Pictures”. Melissa was surprised when she turned around and Michael was down on one knee, asking her to marry him. After a few minutes of crying, Melissa said YES!
AND SO THE
Adventure Begins
You don’t marry someone you can live with — you marry someone you cannot live without.
