As an employee of the Melissa Frances company who has worked hand in hand with Melissa for the past four and a half years, it gives me great joy to share the following piece of news with you. I'm honored to have the privilege to announce the engagement of Melissa Frances to our VP of Sales and Marketing, Brian Matteo. Melissa and Brian have been a couple for the past 7 years, and you only have to hang out with them for a short while to see how well they compliment and support each other.
While in Arizona for a business trip, Brian asked Melissa to share her life and future with him. The engagement ring is all the more special as it is a family heirloom (from Melissa's side of the family) which Brian had an emerald removed from and replaced with a diamond. (what a sentimental touch!)
As of yet, no wedding date has been set, but you can be sure we'll share more details as we know. Melissa forwarded me these pictures of her and Brian in Australia, where they were recently on business. They were able to sneak away for one day to celebrate their engagement while doing some touristy things.
Please join me in congratulating the happy couple!
