Melissa & Gerard| Our Story

Tell us how you first met? M: We met on the school bus but never exchanged much more than a hello. Years later, we connected on Facebook and the rest is history.
G: We first met on the school bus, we really didn’t talk very much. Seven years ago, I added her to my facebook, thought she was hot, so I asked her out.

When did you know he/she was the one? M: I knew I loved him early on, but I knew he was the one when I saw him holding Brody; there’s something about the man you love holding a baby! G: I knew she was the one when we were at a Christmas party (my parents) and she got along with everyone. Family is important to me.

Tell us about the proposal. M: He’s not very subtle, haha. I saw it coming, I was soo ready! But he sure surprised me when he got down on one knee in the middle of the hall in front of my whole family – he’s not one for being the center of attention. G: I was scared $*%!less! I planned over and over but for her, she knew it was coming, I kept dropping hints.

Tell us the one thing you love most about each other. M: He’s so modest – he’s amazing and sexy and doesn’t think he is at all. G: I love her blue eyes

Tell us the one thing he/she does that always makes you laugh. M: One thing? He’s always making me laugh, but when he does this little dance, it always makes me smile. G: Every once in awhile she says some smart remark or joke and I love them.

Where do you see yourselves in 20 years? M: Happily married with children ready to graduate. G: Older, kids, bald, haha

Besides getting married –‐ what’s the one thing you are looking forward to on your wedding day? M: Being surrounded by our loved ones as they witness our marriage. G: CASH!! haha (just kidding)

Who is most likely to cry on your wedding day? M: Me G: Melissa

Who is most likely to be the last to leave the dance floor? M: Me G: Melissa

What’s your favourite trend for weddings right now? M: I love that anything goes now! The old rules went out the window! Haha G: More choices with colors, better music, clothes, etc.

What inspired your décor or theme? M: I love the colors teal and purple and didn’t want it to be to girly for him

Are there any special details for your wedding day that are sentimental and if so why? M: At the dinner, we set up a table near ours for those loved ones that have passed away, complete with Angel wings – that way it feels like they’re with us. G: The memory table of our loved ones, yeah. And being surrounded by loved ones.

What’s one thing you wish you would have known earlier in regards to planning? Any tips or advice for other couples planning their wedding? M: Don’t sweat the small stuff! As long as you have a marriage license, an officiant, two witnesses and those you love around you, everything after that is gravy! (don’t get me wrong, you definitely want the gravy and lots of it! Haha) G: Nothing! It was perfect!
