It was the summer of 2016, July to be exact! Adrian, who was new to social media, stumbled upon Melanie’s profile picture through the “people you may know” feature on Facebook, and it was love at first sight! In that moment, he asked a friend of his if he knew the girl in the picture. It turns out, that the friend did know Melanie and had grown up in the same church with her! So, Adrian decided to slide her a message on Facebook...”shooting his shot” and whatnot. Unfortunately, Melanie was completely focusing on her studies and wasn’t accepting any interests...or so she thought! And although Melanie was initially non-responsive, the two would be formally introduced soon. At the time, Melanie was operating a small business with a close friend, and they were slated to be vendors at a local, small business expo. While at the expo, her friend’s mom spotted Adrian and called him over to their vendor table. While on his way over, Melanie’s friend mentioned that “that’s the guy who messaged you on Facebook!” Hearing that, her friend’s mom made sure to introduce Adrian to Melanie, while giving Adrian a glowing review! In that moment, Adrian asked Melanie for her number and she obliged. To Melanie’s surprise, Adrian was swift and intentional with his follow-up and follow-through. Adrian would call Melanie later that same evening to secure their first date, which they scheduled for the upcoming Thursday. Adrian and Melanie talked day and night in the days leading up to their first date on Thursday, July 28, 2016. It was a magical evening for the both of them, and the two have been “stuck like glue" ever since!
