Naturally, Buff Bride Melanie's love story with Frank began at a wedding. After working together at the same financial firm, Frank asked Melanie to join him at his cousin's wedding Labor Day weekend in 1997. Little did Melanie know that she'd be meeting Frank's entire extended family on her first date with him! Shortly after that wedding, Frank and Melanie got serious and in May 2002, Frank asked Melanie to marry him.

And with just a few months to go before their wedding, Melanie has enlisted the help of the Buff Brides team to get her into the shape of her life before becoming a Mrs. Will Melanie be able to stick to the strict diet and exercise regimen laid out before her? Find out!
