Johnn

Gone in 60 seconds! No, not the movie, but that’s how I felt when I first met Melinda. I walked into a room where she was leading a meeting with her infamous charisma and eyes twinkling (some would say shining, shimmering, splendid), and it felt like I was hit by a freight train; I was forever smitten! Each day since, the feeling has only grown stronger. Ironically, it would take her months to notice me…

I first remember meeting Johnn when he walked down a staircase, and I was waiting to give people rides to dinner. The funniest part is I remember him walking down and thinking, “Now, who is this handsome fella?” Later that night, he saved me from a culinary conundrum (what I wanted to order was too big, and he offered to split with me), and we chatted all evening. Every day since, I’ve felt an undeniable bond that I knew would last a lifetime.

Fast forward to October 27th, 2023, and a house full of friends to celebrate our housewarming. Johnn proposed in the yard on the red bridge we built over our pond at exactly 1:43. I couldn’t imagine being happier to celebrate our love together for the rest of the time we are given.

Throughout our relationship, we have shared a special way to remind each other of our love by sending a message at 1:43, a way to express “I love you." To this day, Johnn makes sure to send me a kiss at that time every day.

Both of Us

We're both so grateful to you, our family and friends, for your love and support. We can't wait to celebrate our wedding with you on the 143rd day of the year!
