Melissa and Ryan

How We Met

In 2009, we met working at Nordstrom Rack and over time, retail romance blossomed. He ripped tags off of merchandise to create new ones, just to find an excuse to be near me. We would take our lunch breaks together and find ourselves gazing at each other during our shifts.

How They Asked

On August 18, 2019, he proposed with a beautiful view of San Francisco. He told me he had wanted to propose the day prior with a sunset view, but the weather ruined his plans. It was a blessing in disguise and I wouldn’t have changed our story in any way, shape, or form! It was perfectly imperfect.
