It all started in 2016, when their congregations merged. They were just friends for a few years, just seeing each other at the meetings, in service, and at gatherings. Fast forward to 2019 when everything changed... They were working together and talking a lot. David finally had the courage to ask her to get ice cream with another friend, to tell her how he felt. Melanie felt the same! A couple of months later, they were dating. David tried to make their couple nickname "Del." But Melanie preferred "DMC." 8 months in, the pandemic hit... That involved a lot of changes for them both, but here they are nearly 2 years later... Engaged. They're getting married on Saturday, October 9th. Thank you all for joining them on this happy day!
