We met on our first day at the University of Washington, exactly eight years ago.

We spent all four years of college together, including living together during COVID. We graduated together in 2022.

After graduation, we decided to travel the world for seven months, visiting eight countries, before Lucas moved to Belgium in 2023. We've continued to embrace our love for travel and have visited seven countries since.

On Christmas morning, Melina flew into Amsterdam to meet Lucas. That evening on the roof of the A'DAM tower, he ignored Melina's delirious jet lag and proposed!

Now, We are excited to welcome our friends and family from all over the world to our hometown of Seattle, where our love story started!
