Chris and Melissa's love story is a special one guided by family coincidences, a passion for food and a perfect love for each other. Their story starts at work. Chris
and Melissa worked in different departments and their
coworkers wanting them to get together because they were both Greek.
They
started talking at a Christmas party and Chris invited Melissa to go see Prince
with him at Madison
Square Garden. Melissa admits it was probably one of the worst first date ever
but 2 weeks later she agreed to go out to eat with Chris again.
That
night they hit it off and closed out the restaurant because they were so
engrossed with each other. From that night on they knew they had found
something special. Melissa
knew she had met the one because even when they would fight breaking up was
never an option and life without each other was
unthinkable.
Chris
decided to use their passion for food as a way to pop the question. Melissa’s
favorite chef growing up was Lidia Bastianich, who she used to watch every
Sunday with her mother. They dine at her restaurants frequently and because of
this, they were put on her email list.
One day
Chris announces that he received a 20% discount for dinner at Lidia’s
restaurant for the following Thursday. Melissa was excited to spice up what a normal work week with a discounted extravagant meal.
Chris was a nervous wreck when he shows up at the restaurant and every time Melissa
asks what was wrong, he complained he was hot. After Chris paid the bill, Lidia came out from behind a
curtain and says, "you forgot
one more thing...!!" And she held out a dish with Melissa’s ring
inside. Best dessert ever!
