It was Thursday, January 7, 1993 at approximately 2:30pm. Oddly, we both remember it well. It was our first week as NYS Legislative Interns. We had just finished an orientation exercise in which my housemate Brian (yes, the same Brian that was in the wedding) was in a group with Melissa and her housemate Kim. When I met Brian after the exercise, he introduced me to my wife-to-be. We shook hands, and nothing has been the same since.




All of the interns hung out together at receptions for the legislators, as well as after hours, so we saw a lot of each other. After a couple months of the requisite flirting and butterflies, (and after she got tired of me putzing around and being shy) Melissa snuck up on me in my room after a night out together with all our friends at Gaspary's and kissed me. That was it. Finally! A week later we decided it would be fun to jaunt off to Montreal on a whim. Incidentally, that was the same March weekend of the Great Blizzard of '93 where 4+ feet of beautiful snow left us "stranded" for days. Oh darn! And that was where we fell in love.
