Way back in the mists of 2024, the great Cara appointed herself to the venerable role of Exquisite Matchmaker and orchestrated First Contact between Melissa and Ryan.

We talked over Zoom and the phone for a while, then on October 10, 2024 we met in person, where Melissa gave Ryan a new name and a hug. Ryan moved to Tucson in February 2025.

Now we're getting married!!!!!
