Melba Mebane & Antonio Ifill, Jr.

Our Story

Tony and I met through a co-worker. During our first telephone conversation I learned that Tony was into soccer and hot tubing and he learned that I enjoyed working out! We decided to go to dinner at MIA's in New Haven. We ate their fusion style sushi and little did we know that our actions and conversation during that evening would predict the course of our lives together. We still love sushi and on our first anniversary returned to the very same restaurant, sat at the very same table and gave a toast to what would be "the rest of our lives". Tony and asked me to marry him on September 13, 2009. We share a home, 2 rottweilers and will share a son, Antonio Joseph who has accepted me into his life graciously. We are grateful to have friends and family who are as loving and supportive as all of you. Tony and I are eager to begin our lives together and excited to share our special day with those we love. Most of all we look forward to the After Party that will last for years to come!
