Ganesh and Melissa will be saying their vows to be husband and wife in just over 3 months! When we met up to take some photos to celebrate their engagement, we loved hearing the tale of how they met. Like many couples we meet today, they met online. But the way Ganesh recalls the story, it is one of true fate.
After talking a few times online, they agreed to meet in person. They met up for their first date for a drink, and Melissa arrived before he did-nervously awaiting his entrance. She says that she spotted him first, and had been pretty certain that it was him as we was coming around the building, but had doubts because he didn't appear quite as he had let on in his profile (appearing just as handsome, but just a tad bit shorter than he had let on).
Ganesh admits he may have embellished his height by an inch or so. But proudly followed up by saying that he has no regrets because had he not, Melissa's online qualifications for a match would have probably kept him off of her 'match list'.
So, here they were-as they met in person-had a few laughs over a drink or two-and unbeknownst to them, began a relationship that would surpass all others...
With Melissa being from Australia, and Ganesh being from India, they say that engagement photos are not a 'big thing' where they are from. But, they were excited to take photos together, just a little unsure of what to plan for. Judging from the way these two look at each other, no plan was needed, as they were quietly talking and sharing jokes between them while we just clicked away.
When we asked how Ganesh proposed, the story got even better. As he tells it, he got down on the ground on one knee in Boston, and asked Melissa to marry him. He says he felt like he waited for her answer for an eternity, as she was trying to figure out if he was serious.
But he was, and of course she said yes, which brings us to the present, as we get excited for their wedding day.
As the sun was setting, the pair talked about how soon it would be that they would be enjoying their special day with family and friends from near and far.
Congratulations Ganesh and Melissa! We are definitely looking forward to 08/25/18!
