Nate & Melanie

married may 20, 2024

Nate & Melanie successfully celebrated their wedding on May 20, 2024, at the stunning He’eia State Park in Kaneohe, Hawai’i. After weeks of rain, He’eia gave a stunning and beautiful day for this momentous occasion. The grandeur of the Ko’olau Mountains and the serene embrace of Kaneohe Bay provide the perfect setting for their pledge of a lifetime of love and joy to one another. They are thrilled to share this journey with you as they step into a future graced with the beauty and spirit of Aloha. 

Made With Love

On March 12, 2021, Melanie Quintana's
simple "like" on Match.com was the
virtual flutter that caught Nate Griffin's
eye. The next day, Nate's reciprocal "like"
wove their separate paths into one.

Just The Two Of Us

On the last day of Melanie's Match.com
subscription, fate united her with
Nate. Their serendipitous match leads
to wedding vows on May 20, 2024,
beginning their shared future.

The Wedding Bliss

Melanie Quintana and Nate Griffin
vowed their union amidst the majestic
Ko'olau Mountains and serene
Kaneohe Bay at He'eia, marking
the start of their lifelong journey together.
