It's the classic "We met in a bar" story.

Melissa's side:
My dad was having a beer night at Pips and we rounded up as many people as we could to go. We had half the bar packed with friends and family members. The other half of the bar also came out to support the beer night. A couple of Ronnie's friends work with my father so they also rounded up some people. The bar was so packed it was tough to move around so I decided to push my way through. On the way through Ronnie said to me "there's a lot of traffic in here, huh". I was like, "yah, whatever" and kept walking. Although I thought he was cute I was trying to play it cool. As the night went on and the beers went down I finally got introduced to him. My dad was introducing me to someone he works with while Ronnie was standing next to him giving him the elbow. So, our first conversion started off with me telling the worst joke ever, which still cracks me up, although Ronnie hates it. Then we just hit it off and started talking, he asked for my e-mail address, I got a pen from my mom and I gave it to him. And here we are.....

Ronnie's side:
My friends and I were hanging out at Pips for a promotion for my buddy. I saw Melissa walk in and said to my friend "I gotta meet this girl". It was really crowded in the bar and when she was walking by I thought I would say something to her. All I could say was something about there being a lot of traffic in the bar. She smiled and walked by me.  Later I saw an opportunity to meet her when her dad was introducing her to one of my friends.  I stood next to him and gave him the elbow.  He introduced me to her and we started talking and just hit it off.  I asked her for her e-mail address and the rest is history.  I knew that night that she was the girl I was going to marry!
