Doctor meets Nurse Practitioner at hospital. And it was history. Joe and I met at work 4 years ago. He gave me his number and we started talking followed by hanging out and spending more and more time together.
We’ve been together for 11 years and have had so many adventures together, from living in Ithaca to Dallas to San Francisco, through multiple jobs, apartments, buying a home, and caring for two puppies. George proposed at our favorite beach with our two puppies running happily about. Melanie’s family was waiting to celebrate when we returned home.
Being a police officer and a physician assistant in an emergency department, we both have crazy schedules, but it works for us! When we are off together we enjoy spending time at local coffee shops, finding the best treats in town, and walks at the park. We love country concerts, beach vacations, Disney World, and time with family and friends.
I first heard about Justin through a mutual friend on campus at Notre Dame. After we met, we started dating about one year later and did two years of long distance dating after college before I moved to Charlotte to be with him! We got engaged in December 2018 and planned to get married in July 2020, but COVID forced us to postpone twice. We waited over 1,000 days to get married – it was so worth it!

We started off as “just friends” after meeting one another freshman year of college but we both agreed that deep down from the moment that we met, we couldn’t quite shake the feeling that we were meant to be more. We spent quite a few years fighting our feelings but slowly things all fell into place. We started “officially” dating the weekend of undergraduate graduation and since then have lived in two different RVs, worked in 6 states traveling the US for work and most recently bought our first home in Cleveland.
Philadelphia has our hearts, we have lived here for the past 8 years and own a house here. But, we have ties to upstate New York and were married in Fair Haven, NY on Oct 23, 2021.

We met on an app and quickly began sending lengthy messages to each other throughout each day. We decided that for our first date we would meet up for a hike (Mt Severance in Schroon Lake, NY). From that first date forward we both knew there was something special and different about one another and before we knew it we were spending every weekend with one another. We would take turns driving the 2.5 hours to and from one another’s residences (Emily in Indian Lake, NY and Kristen in Burlington, VT). We did this for just under two years before taking the next step. After Kristen graduated with her Master’s degree, she moved to Blue Mountain Lake, NY to live with Emily. Shortly after the move, Kristen got her dream job in Indian Lake, NY as a mental health counselor. We got engaged in January 2020 (Emily proposed first) and spent the next year and a half planning our dream wedding. We are so unbelievably happy to be Mrs. And Mrs. Wade!
After ten years of dating, we exchanged vows and rings in the company of our closest friends and family on September 19, 2021. Our commitment to one another is to make the most of this life we share, for each of us and for both of us.
