How they met / Melanie was Rene’s boss and succumbed to Rene’s inappropriate wooing attempts

The Proposal / Rene took Melanie on a surprise trip to Jeju island. At a beachside bbq, Rene asked the waitress to take a picture of Melanie and Rene together. As melanie was getting frustrated with a perfectly good glass of wine and dinner on the table, Rene kept making them walk around the resort with the waitress looking for some light. When Melanie finally said this is good enough, just take the picture, Rene got down on one knee.

Melanie said yes.

And they made it official May 5th, 2012 all the way up on Citadel Hill in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
It was a sweet, relaxed, dog-filled affair and an absolute pleasure spending the day with you all.
Thanks for having me friends.
