Melissa and Tony ~ June Finalists ~ People’s Choice 2013

Friday morning came and we were running late when we arrived in downtown St. Louis for the 10:30 breakfast. I was thinking this is typical as Tony is always running late. We better not miss this VIP breakfast! We had to contact the VIP manager when we arrived since this was an invitation only event and he was going to escort us to the proper location. He informed us to meet him on the top floor of the Hyatt. When we got off the elevators, Tony introduced himself to the VIP manager who then asked if I was his wife and Tony promptly said “No, this is my girlfriend, Missy.” He then escorted us to the room, complimenting us along the way that we had the most authentic jerseys of anyone there. He said we were the best dressed couple and everyone would probably notice us. Down the hallway, another Hyatt employee had a clipboard and asked us our name and proceeded to check us off the guest list. We continued to a set of double doors where two more employees opened the doors to an empty room full of empty tables. At the far end of the room, near the floor to ceiling windows that provided an awesome view of the terrace and the Arch, was a table set for two with red roses in the center of the table. I was looking for all these people the VIP manager spoke of and knew we must not be in the right place, but he had stopped at the double doors leaving us alone in the room.


Tony mentioned there was a sign, that the hotel fabricated just for us, located just outside the elevators on the top floor. The sign pointed us in the direction of the VIP breakfast. Distracted by the conversation with the manager, I didn’t see it at that time. When it was time to leave, I took the rose bouquet off the table, so I could carry them with me at the game, and we headed back to the elevators to see this sign I missed. I was disappointed to see the sign was gone. Surprisingly, it was replaced with another sign that read “Congratulations Missy and Tony!” It had a picture of Fredbird wearing a veil and a huge diamond ring on his left wing!
We went down to the lobby. As we walked out the front doors of the hotel, there was a horse drawn carriage waiting for us! I certainly felt like a princess and was enjoying how romantic this had all been, while also appreciating not having to walk to the stadium in the rain. Even though there was a 2 hour rain delay and the Cardinals lost, it was not only the best opening day I could have ever imagined, but one of the most memorable days of my life.
