Our Wedding

Ours is a love written in prayers and memories. With every 11:11 wish, every laugh, every late-night heart-to-heart, we’ve been writing this story together. And it all started in the most unexpected way...

We met in March 2016, on the first day of training class at work. Corinne still remembers what Mel was wearing. She thought Mel was handsome and was trying to figure out how to talk to her. Mel asked the class if anyone had a highlighter. Corinne scrambled to be the first to offer hers—then dropped it. Mel helped her pick it up, and just like that, we started talking.

How It All Began

May 2016Corinne was getting her hair done when she and Mel slipped into one of their first deep conversations—about faith, purpose, and the Book of Genesis (Mel’s favorite). Somewhere in the middle of it, Mel mentioned her middle name. Corinne paused. It was the same as her mother’s. Her mom had passed away in 2013, but in that quiet moment, something clicked. It felt like more than coincidence. It felt like her mom had whispered, “Pay attention.” That’s when Corinne knew—this was more than a spark. This was something real. Mel didn’t know the weight that name carried, but she noticed the shift—the way Corinne looked at her, the stillness between them. She just smiled, gentle and open. That moment stayed with us both.

The Moment We Knew

June 6, 2016 — Mel’s BirthdayCorinne went all out: grilled chicken, homemade enchiladas, beans, rice, mojitos—the works. It was our first “real” date, and it felt like home.

🎉 Our First Official Date

We made it official at Corinne’s apartment. That date—11/11—became a symbol of us. Every day since, whenever we see 11:11, we stop and send up a prayer. It's more than a number. It's our reminder that this love is divinely timed and deeply chosen."11:11—make a wish, say a prayer, choose each other."

🫶 11/11: The Day It Became Us

2017–2024 — Our Middle ChapterWe moved in together, met each other’s families, and started new traditions—like making the holidays feel magical and&nbsp;joyfully honoring Corinne’s mom each year.We go on adventure dates twice a month. We say our 11:11 prayers. We laugh a lot.Somewhere in all that, we built a life that feels like love.

🌿 Building a Life

After months of dropping hints (Corinne’s finger was “itching”), Mel kept it chill… until the day after Thanksgiving. She told Corinne she had something important to ask. Corinne, naturally, panicked and cooked a full dinner. Mel came home, pulled out the ring, and popped the question. Corinne said yes—very loudly.

💍 She Said YES!

Mel brings the calm, and Corinne brings the sparkle (and the chaos). Together, we’re goofy, grounded, romantic, and real. From line dancing in the living room to deep spiritual conversations, our love is sacred, silly, and full of light. Forever sounds exactly like our vibe.

Things to Do

Registry

Black Tie Formal 

What to Wear: Step into the magic of a Midnight Venetian Garden—where elegance meets enchantment. For this black tie affair, the dress code is elevated, timeless, and full of mood. Dress to impress—because this night is nothing short of cinematic. For the Ladies:Time to bring the glam! Think black tie glam with a romantic twist. Floor-length gowns in black with touches of deep green or rich red are perfect for the occasion. Go all out in a dramatic trumpet or ball gown, stun in a formal cocktail dress, or keep it sleek in an elegant sheath made from luxurious fabrics like velvet or satin. Think mystery, texture, and a hint of sparkle—like you’re gliding through a moonlit garden.When in doubt, dress like you're heading to the Oscars—because tonight, you are the star. For the Gentlemen:A classic black tuxedo is always in style, but a well-tailored dark suit in black, charcoal, or deep green is also welcome. Elevate the look with a crisp dress shirt, black dress shoes, and a tie or bow tie. For those feeling bold, incorporate a velvet jacket or pocket square in red or green to echo the garden palette. It’s all about sophistication with just the right amount of flair.
