Melissa Piorkowski and Wilmar Acevdeo are high school sweethearts and longtime partners. They are planning on getting married in the near future. Help make their day memorable by voting for them in The $100,000 New York City Magical Wedding.

In Melissa’s own words:

My name is Melissa and my fiancée’s name is Willmar. Our journey began 12 years ago in high school. Little did I know that answering a knock at my door would change my life forever. It was him, the love of my life that I had been eyeing for a few months. What I didn’t know until I opened the door is that he had set his sights on me as well. He asked me to a movie and the rest was history. Everyone that knew us saw the magic. We were perfect for each other. When he graduated, a year before me, he went to the University of Connecticut, Stamford to stay close to me. I needed him here while my family struggled with the addiction and death of my stepfather. I couldn’t have made it without him so when the smoke cleared I supported and helped him pay to go away to the University of Connecticut. When he graduated he got a job and we both started saving to move in together.
