In an interview with People magazine, Melissa shared that her wedding was canceled due to the wildfires in Los Angeles earlier this year, explaining that she didn't want to proceed given the ongoing situation.

“That’s when my friends stepped in and said, ‘We are doing this.’ Because a number of people who are coming lost their homes too, and they were like, ‘Thank God we have this to look forward too.’ I also knew that we were all going to want to go away for a weekend to get out of all this chaos and rest our brains.”
