“Our first date was at the beach in Port Dalhousie, where we first met. We played volleyball, shared laughs about our favorite Disney movies, and I’d packed a picnic (not realizing Melissa was vegan—who would’ve guessed, an Italian vegan!). After a few laughs over my food choices, we settled in to watch the sunset. We had no idea then just how special this spot would become. Two years later, in that very same place, I asked her to marry me.”
