Story

We were both very skeptical at first but met on Hinge, the dating app. Due to Sean's traveling schedule we talked for about a month before we actually met in person for our first date. Sean showed up to Melissa's house with flowers in hand and to no surprise Melissa was not ready. Sean stood in the hallway watching Melissa finish her hair & makeup. We went to 801 Chophouse for dinner then drove downtown to visit the World War 1 Memorial where Sean kissed Melissa for the first time. After that we drove around talking, eventually ending up at the downtown airport watching planes takeoff!

Following that first date, when Sean was off the rig our weekends were either spent at Sean's place on the farm in Missouri or at Melissa's house in Kansas City. Slowly it transitioned to Sean spending his full 2 weeks off where ever Melissa was! :)

Who made the first move? How?

He made the first move when he swiped right on Hinge!

What's your favorite activity together?

Making dinner together or cruising back roads!

What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?

Our road trip around Texas, we went down to Big Bend National Park and spent a couple days at Cibolo Creek Ranch. The views were absolutely amazing and great times exploring together! Sean's truck slightly breaking down during the trip might have added to the "memorable" part of this vacation!

We are regulars at

Summer Moon Coffee! We highly recommend you try it out while in Kansas City!

We take pride in

Going all out for Christmas! Sean handles the lights on the house and Melissa decorates the inside!

How did you propose?

Sean arrived home early from the rig one Wednesday evening to surprise Melissa. He had followed in his fathers footsteps of "stretching the truth to accomplish his goal." His small fib was going to look at truck parts instead of coming straight home to Melissa... He arrived 3 hours ahead of schedule, deployed his drone to capture the moment. He then proceeded to beat the front door off the hinges!!! With both our hearts pounding, he got down on one knee in the same exact spot we both laid eyes on each other for the first time and YES was the anwser!!!!
