Melissa and Dave grew up in the same area in Michigan and knew each other for years but that was only because Dave was Melissa’s brother’s best friend. Each of them had their own separate relationships throughout the course of them knowing one another but Dave had always said to Melissa’s brother that he would marry Melissa one day. Dave would joke around with Melissa periodically and tell her that he was waiting to take her out on a date whenever she was ready. Melissa put Dave off over and over for years even though Melissa’s son loved Dave and wanted Melissa to date him. They soon became each other’s wedding dates (just as friends) but after a few years, Dave insisted that he take Melissa out on a real date. Melissa finally agreed and from that point on, Melissa and Dave fell in love. Dave was willing to do whatever it took to marry Melissa (including living with her parents until the wedding day!) but they soon had their dream wedding in Marco Island.
